Jon at The General said:
" I had to replace the components of one of the (Franke) mixer tap C&C installed. Required a new cartridge. Went around a couple of plumbers merchants - but there is no standardisation. Used tapmagician.co.uk - who were excellent. Sent them a photo and the compatible cartridge was with me in a couple of days. Would recommend."
