2023-03-13

The life of the faucet is short, the faucet is rusty, the faucet leaks, and the faucet has a peculiar smell. Are you more or less annoyed by the faucet at home? When choosing a faucet, we can also consider the following aspects.

1. The material of the faucet
1. From the appearance point of view, the materials of the faucet are plastic, zinc alloy, stainless steel, refined copper and ceramics.

Plastic: Plastic faucets are made of ABS plastic, which is rich in color and cheap, but has poor durability and a strong sense of cheapness. Generally, this material is not used in homes.

Zinc alloy: The price of zinc alloy is also relatively cheap, but the handle is easy to break. Most faucets on the Internet are made of zinc alloy.

Stainless steel: Stainless steel has strong acid and alkali resistance, is not easy to corrode and rust, and does not contain lead. It is a relatively safe faucet, but it is difficult to mass-produce in the market now, and the price is relatively expensive.

Refined copper: copper is plated on the surface of the faucet to achieve the effect of anti-friction and anti-corrosion. It has a strong luster and is relatively high-grade. It is generally used on basin faucets.

Ceramics: Ceramic faucets are not easy to accumulate scale and are durable, but they are more expensive and easy to break. Families with children are not recommended to use them.

2. From the core valve point of view, the faucet can be divided into ceramic core valve, stainless steel core valve and roller core valve.

Ceramic core valve: ceramic core valve is the most widely used material in most brands on the market because of its low pollution, wear resistance and sealing.

Stainless steel core valve: The stainless steel core valve is less affected by water quality, has strong wear resistance, is relatively strong, and is a relatively advanced material.

Roller core valve: The roller core valve has a long service life and is easy to install and maintain, but its style is relatively old, and it has been gradually eliminated in the market now.

Second, the selection points of the faucet

1. Core valve: stainless steel core valve > ceramic core valve > roller core valve.

2. Appearance: Stainless Steel>Ceramic>Refined Copper>Zinc Alloy/Plastic

2. Electroplating: In order to make the luster of the faucet more beautiful, and also improve its wear resistance and corrosion resistance, the electroplating layer should be between 8 μm and 12 μm according to regulations, and it is best to use chrome plating.

3. Starter: The starter can control the water flow, change the way the water flows out, and has the functions of filtering, noise reduction, splash prevention and water saving, so choose a faucet with a bubbler.

4. Budget and brand: Good brands also have low-priced products, so you must choose a well-known brand within a similar budget.
