Using this Brizo Frank Lloyd Wright Widespread Lavatory Faucet is easy. Just turn the valve to control the water flow and temperature. When installing, make sure to check that the 3 - hole setup fits your countertop, which can handle up to 3” deck thickness. For maintenance, clean the faucet regularly with a mild soap and a soft cloth to keep it looking good. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can damage the high - quality brass finish and the natural Guyana teak wood accent. Also, if you live in an area with hard water, consider using a water softener to prevent mineral buildup in the laminar flow stream straightener and the ceramic cartridge. This will ensure smooth operation and water - efficient performance for years to come.
