HOW CAN I CHANGE A WASHER IN A FLICK MIX. IT IS DRIPPING THROUGH THE SPOUT. THERE DOES NOT SEEM ANY WAY TO GET THE TOP OFF.DOES IT NEED A NORMAL TAP WASHER OR A SPECIAL FLICK MIX ONE.IT IS A KITCHEN SINK HOT AND COLD MIXER,THE BRAND NAME IS "HAMA".
we bought a flick mixer and every time we get a leaky tap, we have to replace the cartridges. At $100 for cartridges (hot and cold) we've decided to give the mixer the flick. In the long run it's better to get normal taps using the old style washers.
Frugal and thriving.

I can't help with the washer, but ours was sticking - not smooth to turn on & off. I rung the local h/ware and a lady told me to try come vegie oil on the top - take handle off first, re first answer. It works well now.

If there is a blue/red marker indicating hot and cold directions this is probably a puch in insert which hodes a hole that will allow you to undo a fixing to remove the top of the tap. You may not be able to get a washer but depends on the tap. Take it apart and see. Remember to swirtch the water off though.
