Instant hot water tap

Anyone use one of these instant taps. I got one for my garage sink which originally had mains cold going to it. I had to put a lever valve on the pipe before the sink and turn it down to nearly off just to get hot water from it. I have now noticed that there is water leaking from the base of the tap.

It's a EHT10 Electric hot water tap. I ended up getting a water pressure reducer valve today and that cured the leak Apparently the maximum statupic pressure should be not greater that 2bar. Mine was over 4bar even though I had the lever valve nearly in the off position.
