Mini Guide: How to Choose

  1. Identify hygiene requirements – clinical environments require Grade 316 waterways (GPURE® Nugen); commercial and health settings suit Grade 304 stainless (GPURE® Rebel) or lead-free brass (NUGEN).
  2. Confirm lead-content requirement – NCC 2022 mandates ≤0.25% lead from 1 May 2026; GPURE® ranges exceed this with 0.00% lead.
  3. Assess finish preference – polished stainless (no chrome) for GPURE® ranges; chrome-plated for NUGEN brass.
  4. Select WELS rating – 4-star, 5-star, or 6-star depending on project water-efficiency targets.
  5. Choose installation type – hob-mounted or in-wall, basin or sink mixer, standard or care handle variant.

Single-Lever Washbasin & Shower Mixer FAQs

How Do Single-Lever Mixer Taps Work?

A shower or basin mixer single-lever tap innovatively combines hot and cold water delivered via a single spout. With intuitive one-handed operation, users can effortlessly control the water’s flow and temperature by moving the lever up and down to adjust volume and tilting left or right to fine-tune temperature.

Are Single Lever Mixer Taps Any Good?

Gentec single mixers set the standards in premium commercial taps. They are lead-free, hygienic, water and energy-efficient, customisable and look terrific. Their sleek, contemporary design will complement any healthcare or hospitality setting. For easy-to-use, sustainable taps, single levers are a sound choice.

What Is the Difference Between Single-Lever and Dual-Lever Taps?

A single-lever mixer and a dual-lever tap are fundamentally different. As the name suggests, a single mixer uses one handle to control hot and cold water released via one spout. In contrast, a dual lever tap is a more traditional set-up where cold and hot water come from separate spouts controlled by individual handles.

The healthcare and hospitality sectors typically prefer the single-tap solution due to its enhanced hygiene, improved temperature control, and reduced scalding risk, making it a more practical and user-friendly solution in professional environments.

What is the difference between NUGEN lead-free brass and GPURE® stainless steel mixer taps?

NUGEN taps are lead-free DZR brass with a chrome-plated finish and ≤0.25% lead – meeting NCC 2022 requirements, suited to education, hospitality, and general commercial projects. GPURE® Rebel is Grade 304 stainless with zero lead and a polished stainless finish, for commercial and health settings. GPURE® Nugen uses Grade 316 stainless steel waterways (water-contact surfaces) and Grade 304 for the body, with 0.00% lead and laminar flow – specified for hospitals, aged care, and clinical environments.

Are Gentec mixer taps compliant with NCC 2022 lead-free requirements?

Yes. All Gentec single lever mixer taps carry Lead Free WaterMark certification confirming compliance with the NCC 2022 lead-free standard – a maximum weighted average lead content of 0.25%. This is mandatory for all mixer taps in contact with drinking water from 1 May 2026. Certification documentation is available for project records on request.

Which Gentec mixer tap is best for hospitals or aged care?

GPURE® Nugen is the recommended specification for hospitals, aged care, pathology, and food-processing environments. Grade 316 stainless steel waterways provide the highest corrosion resistance in the water-contact zone, and zero lead content exceeds NCC 2022 requirements. Laminar flow reduces aerosol formation, supporting infection-control protocols. For general health settings where Grade 316 waterways are not mandated, GPURE® Rebel Grade 304 stainless is appropriate.

What WELS ratings do Gentec single lever mixer taps carry?

Gentec single lever mixers are available in 4-star (7.5 lpm), 5-star (5.5-6.0 lpm), and 6-star models depending on the range and variant. All carry current WELS registration. Specific ratings are detailed on individual product datasheets available from the Gentec technical team.

Can Gentec mixer taps be used in DDA-accessible washrooms?

Yes. All Gentec single lever mixer ranges support DDA and AS1428.1 accessible lever operation when installed per the standard’s guidelines. Extended care handle variants – yellow and blue printed handles – are available for healthcare, aged care, and accessible washroom installations.
