FontanaAquaTheris™ Matte Black Automatic Sensor Faucet FAQ
High-Arc Stream Alignment, Sensor Stability; Matte Black Surface Protection
The FontanaAquaTheris™ Matte Black automatic faucet combines a tall high-arc profile, copper construction, single-hole deck mounting, infrared touchless activation, a vandal-resistant aerator, an overall height above 11 inches, and a spout reach exceeding 6 inches.
How should the high-arc faucet be positioned over a vessel or countertop basin?
Coordinate the mounting hole, basin drain, rim height, and spout reach before tightening the faucet. The outlet stream should land near the drain rather than against the rear or curved basin wall, reducing splash while preserving adequate hand-washing clearance beneath the tall gooseneck spout.
How should the infrared sensing zone be commissioned after installation?
Complete sensor testing after the basin, mirror, backsplash, soap dispenser, lighting, and countertop accessories are installed. Confirm that normal hand movement activates water promptly without false triggering from reflective surfaces, passing users, cleaning equipment, or objects outside the intended washing zone.
What should be checked if the vandal-resistant aerator produces weak or irregular flow?
Flush the supply line before final connection and inspect the inlet and aerator passages for construction debris or mineral restriction. Confirm that the service stop is fully open and that dynamic pressure remains stable before removing or servicing the protected aerator assembly.
How should the Matte Black finish be cleaned without creating glossy patches?
Wipe the faucet with a soft damp microfiber cloth and dry the surface immediately. Use diluted pH-neutral soap only and avoid abrasive pads, acidic descalers, bleach, ammonia, steel wool, metal polish, stiff brushes, and concentrated disinfectants that may alter the uniform matte coating.
