In home decoration, buying a faucet has become a necessary lesson for home owners. So how to choose a good faucet, please remember the following four key points.
1. Choose the faucet to see the material
Plastic faucets are not only easy to break, but also easy to age. Cast iron material is easy to rust, cast iron material is easy to rust, it is easy to hide dirt after rust, metal contaminants and water contact can also cause water pollution.
In contrast, the copper faucet adopts gravity casting technology, the process is very mature, not only healthy and environmentally friendly, but also corrosion-resistant, very suitable for making faucets. In the current market, copper faucets have always been favored by consumers.
2. Choose the faucet to see the spool
The spool is like the heart of the faucet, responsible for adjusting the size of the water and the opening and closing of the water. At present, there are two main types of valve cores for faucets on the market: ceramic valve cores and steel ball valve cores.
Optional ceramic valve core. It is not only anti-corrosion, but also wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant, and has a long service life, which can well prevent water leakage. Although the performance of the steel ball valve core is also good, it has a shorter service life than the ceramic valve core and is prone to dripping.
Built-in ceramic valve core, permanent water discharge without wear, unique pull-out dual-mode water discharge design, 100CM lengthened water pipe, greatly increase the application range of the faucet and reduce the burden of kitchen cleaning.
3. Choose the faucet and look at the bubbler
A good faucet aerator can prevent water from splashing everywhere, and at the same time it can also have a good noise reduction effect. At the same time, it can effectively save water and filter out some impurities in the water.
4. Choose the faucet to look at the appearance
The appearance is often the first thing that attracts people. The faucet is treated by an electroplating process. In order to prevent the faucet from being oxidized, a layer of nickel or chromium is plated on its surface.
Nickel or chromium has the function of anti-neutral hydrochloric acid, which can protect the faucet from corrosion for a long time, and make the surface of the faucet shiny and new.
