Kartell K-VIT Pure Mono Basin Mixer with Click Waste – Chrome (TAP050PR)

Kartell K-VIT Pure Mono Basin Mixer with Click Waste – Chrome (TAP050PR)

The Kartell K-VIT Pure range is the properly square one — a flat rectangular spout and a square body, with none of the softening you get on Kolt. It's the sharpest-looking range in the Kartell line, and the one to pick for a modern bathroom with square sanitaryware and clean lines.

This is the mono basin mixer, supplied complete with a click waste.

Square means square

Worth being clear, because "square" gets used loosely. Kolt is squared-off with rounded edges — a compromise that works in most rooms. Pure is genuinely angular, with a flat blade spout.

That's a strong look and it needs the room to match. Against a round basin or a traditional pedestal it will fight the shapes around it. Against a square countertop basin or a modern vanity it looks deliberate and expensive.

Water pressure

Suitable for low pressure systems, so it works on gravity-fed plumbing — a tank in the loft and a hot cylinder — as well as combi and mains pressure.

One thing worth knowing about flat blade spouts: they tend to produce a wide, thin stream rather than a round one, which looks striking at good pressure but can feel weak on a low-pressure system. If your pressure is marginal, that's worth factoring in.

Living with it

The ceramic disc cartridge with quarter-turn operation gives full flow from a small movement and is far less prone to dripping than a washer tap.

Square profiles give limescale more corners to sit in than round ones, so in a hard water area a regular wipe keeps it looking sharp. Polished chrome needs nothing more than a soft cloth — avoid abrasives and don't leave descaler to soak.

The rest of the Pure range

The range also includes a bath filler, a bath shower mixer and a freestanding bath shower mixer.

Kartell also make Pure showering, furniture and sanitaryware, so the square profile can be carried right through the room.
