Hand-picked recommendations to go alongside this product
The Crosswater Cucina Cook looks like many other modern kitchen taps, but it has a hidden secret; you can turn it on without even touching it. Some might say that it's magic; others might just say that it's science; all we can say is that it's fantastic and so convenient. How many times have you had filthy hands and had to use them to turn the tap on, in turn transferring a lot of that dirt to the tap? Or you've got your hands full of fruit and veg that you want to rinse but you can't turn the tap on without putting some of it down? With the sensor, you just wave you hand in front of it and, like magic, water starts to flow.
The Cucina Cook does still have a normal lever for when you want more control over the flow of the water. It's also required because the sensor only activates the cold water, so if you want hot water you will need to use the lever like normal.
Like almost all modern kitchen taps, the Crosswater Cucina uses ceramic disc cartridges to control the flow of water. These are much easier to use and longer-lasting than traditional rubber washers, and they also ensure a complete seal when you turn the tap off, so no more annoying drips.
One quick tip. Don't go forgetting that you have a Cucina sensor tap but your friends and family might not. There's nothing more embarrassing than waving your hand at a tap and nothing happening!

Please note: The sensor only controls the cold water feed. You cannot get hot water via the sensor mechanism. For hot water you will need to use the lever as normal.

Cartridge TypeMore information | Ceramic Disc |
---|
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.

Minimum Water Pressure
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.
