Old and cast iron faucets are prone to rust. In the course of long-term use, the rusty and uneven surfaces of these faucets are more likely to adhere to microorganisms and heavy metal elements, which will adversely affect the health of users , More likely to cause intestinal and other diseases. At the same time, the washers of old-fashioned cast iron faucets are mostly plastic or rubber, which is prone to aging for a long time and is not tightly sealed, resulting in dripping and wasting water.

According to the distributor of Jiumu Sanitary Ware, the international standard for faucet plating thickness is 8 microns, and the best one can reach 12 microns. Faucets with electroplating technology are less likely to be attached to harmful microorganisms and heavy metals, and are healthier. In addition, the inside of the faucet with ceramic washers will not be deformed or tightly closed even if it is opened hundreds of thousands of times, and the water-saving effect will be greatly improved. Some precision wear-resistant faucets have a service life of more than 10 years.

When I visited the market, I found that the main body of the faucet on the market is generally made of brass. The higher the purity of copper, the better the quality of electroplating, and it is not easy to be corroded. However, in order to reduce production costs, some manufacturers have quietly replaced brass with zinc alloys or plastics, and the appearance is equally smooth. In this regard, it is best for consumers to ask the sales staff for the test report of the product to check whether it is qualified.

Fashion, but also practical

The creativity is always beyond imagination, and many faucets on the market are becoming more and more fashionable. When I visited, I found a Rotary Cube faucet, which can be designed to revolve the water out of 360 degrees to make the simple bathroom life alive and more freely. The water outflows upwards to avoid the trouble of washing with the cup. I wake up in the morning and feel like surfing. The dynamic fun can bring more vitality to life. At the same time, blue and white porcelain, romantic silver, elegant gold and other shapes can make the room burst out with an elegant and modern beauty.

Independent designer Qi Ying suggested: Although it is just a small faucet, consumers still have to take into account both fashion and product functionality when buying. The model of the faucet and the matching of the overall decoration style are considered thoroughly, and the waterproof layer of the wall must be made during installation to avoid troubles in future life.

Generally speaking, the surface of the faucet should be as shiny as a mirror, at least there should be no rough processes such as oxidation spots, bubbles, and burrs. When turning the handle, the good faucet and the switch can be opened and closed freely, and there is no too much space. You can know a thing or two by the hand feeling. Consumers can do it a few times to feel when shopping. In addition, they should not forget to check the faucet's brand logo to judge the quality of their products.
