We've hand-picked these items because they are a great choice alongside the Vado Photon Wall Mounted Basin Mixer Tap
Beautifully balanced in shape, the design of the Photon wall mounted basin mixer will perfectly suit modern bathrooms with similar minimal, chrome fixtures. The wall mount helpfully saves any needed basin surfaces, while the practical depth of the water spout will reach across free standing basins, countertop basins and vanity units with a depth of 20cm, for your ease of use. With a thickness of 5mm, the wall mount backplate is aesthetically slim but strong, and will remain flush against your bathroom wall.
The Photon's single lever's sole purpose is to control your water, and with quick glance temperature indicators this can be done instantly — Your perfect water temperature and flow can be found with ease by moving the levers up or down to regulate flow, and making left or right turns to control temperature. With an internal Ceramic disc cartridge water operation will remain durable, glitch-free and smooth, while the spout aerator delivers a visually sensual water flow and uninterrupted temperature, for a soft and bubbly touch. The water spout is also angled slightly for a smart and well presented water display — An eye-catching centre piece for your modern bathroom. With a high-shine, protective chrome finish the Photon will remain durable and rust free for years to come.
You can improve the Photon's performance even further with an optional, but highly effective piece of tap technology specially designed by Vado. The H2Eco flow regulator can potentially save you £360 on your utility bills in one year by regulating and controlling water flow to your tap without cutting corners on your pressure performance. Commonly tap water is pushed through in avoidable excess which leads to water waste, but with the H2Eco flow regulator, you can reduce your bills and your carbon footprint without lifting a finger.
Vado offers a 15 year, peace of mind, guarantee with the Photon for a confident purchase.

Taps use either a ceramic disc cartridge or a rubber compression washer to control flow. Rubber washers will naturally wear down with use, and the tap handle will require more and more rotations to turn on or off. On the plus side, it's very easy to replace a rubber washer and they're available everywhere.
Ceramic disc cartridges need only a 90-degree rotation to fully open or close, and the 2 ceramic plates are incredibly hard-wearing and resilient. They're more expensive to make, but they allow for a huge range of designs, easy operation and simple maintenance if needed.
Whilst it is rare for a ceramic cartridge to need replacing, you may very occasionally need to remove and rinse the cartridge if grit or debris within the water system is preventing the 2 plates from closing properly. Much like replacing a rubber washer, this is a quick and easy job, and will ensure many years of use.

Tap spouts are available in a variety of different styles which have an effect on both the look and function of your tap. Different spout types will have different heights and projections, so it’s important to choose one which will complement your basin or bath.

Your water pressure depends on your home's water system. It’s important to consider water pressure when buying a new tap or shower. Buying a product with a minimum water pressure that’s too high for your home will result in poor performance.
- With a combi boiler you can usually expect between 1 and 2 bar
- With a gravity system (cold water tank in attic) you may have as little as 0.1 or 0.2 bar upstairs, and perhaps 0.5 bar downstairs
- With a high pressure unvented system (hot water cylinder, no cold water tank) you will generally have between 1 and 3 bar
You can install an item with a low minimum pressure rating on a high pressure system, but avoid installing an item with a high minimum rating on a low pressure system! Read our guide to water pressure to learn more.

What Are Ceramic Disc Taps and Why Would You Want One?
Nowadays, the vast majority of modern bathroom and kitchen taps use ceramic disc cartridges instead of rubber washers. In simple terms, this means no (or at least far fewer) leaks, and only a 90-degree rotation to turn the tap on or off.
