Thank you for choosing Bristan, the UK’s leading showers and taps expert.
Your Bristan Soap Dispenser has a non-touch control which uses infrared
sensing technology to detect human presence. Once detected, the spout
instantly dispenses a small amount of liquid soap into the users hands to
eliminate unnecessary wastage, whilst creating a more hygienic washroom
solution.
All products manufactured and supplied by Bristan are safe and comply to
legislative requirements. Providing they are installed correctly and receive
regular maintenance in accordance with these instructions your user
experience will not be aected.
For a safe and successful installation these instructions should be used as
guidance, thereafter they should be left with the user.

preserve the visible surfaces. All
surfaces will wear if not cleaned
correctly, the only safe way to clean
your mixer is to wipe with a soft
damp cloth. Stains can be removed
using washing up liquid. All bath
cleaning powders and liquids will
damage the surface of your fitting,
even the non-scratch cleaners.

or disinfectants or those containing
alcohol, hydrochloric acid or
phosphoric acid.

Maintenance
Symptom Cause Remedy
Spout does
not dispense
soap.
Sensor cable not
connected.
Check that the sensor
cable is connected. If not
connected, connect sensor
cable. Refer to ‘Installation’
section on pages 6-8.
Possible blockage in
dispense tube or dispense
cable.
Remove pump from bottle
and clean tube.
Remove dispense cable from
pump and clean.
Low or no soap in bottle. Fill bottle with liquid soap.
When soap is at
approximately 20mm from
the bottom top soap up.
No electrical power to
pump.
Ensure power cable is
connected. Refer to
‘Installation’ section on pages
6-8.
Soap used not suitable for
this product.
This product can only be
used with hand-washing
soaps that fall within the
viscosity shown in the
Specification. Due to the
complex nature of the hand
sanitisers/gels being used,
it is dicult to predict how
they act when pumped
(even if on paper they
have the correct viscosity).
Some are manufactured to
thicken when friction/heat/
movement is applied in order
to help them absorb, and this
property can block the pump
mechanism.
