There are even thousands of dollars. Consumers will be confused when they choose. They don't know how to start. Let Xiaobian give you advice!

Good faucet needs internal and external maintenance
Maybe the first one is depressing, but it's enough for you to be upset. Clogging or leaking can make you feel bad. After all, the first thing you get up every morning is to open the faucet and brush your teeth. This “day is in the morning†or is it ruined?
The first and most critical question is why the faucets on the market range from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars. The key lies in the leading valve. Currently, the leading faucets sold on the market are ceramic valve cores. The key to the price difference is whether the leading internal device is an imported ceramic valve core or a domestic ceramic valve core. Since these two types of ceramic valve cores have different processing accuracy of materials and components, It is directly related to the service life of the faucet.
The faucet with imported ceramic valve core with high processing precision can ensure that it will not leak water for life and can be opened hundreds of thousands of times. If it is not used arbitrarily, its life span should be more than 10 years. The low-end faucets with some sizes that do not match the precision and uselessly fabricated ceramic valve plugs are generally loose after being used for 2-3 months.
Lu Mo, the manager of Moen's technical department, told Taotao that the faucet belongs to the hardware, but the ceramic valve core is silicate, and all valve cores are purchased from outside. Moen’s spool is imported from Austria by the US group. The spool, and has a Moen-type spool patent, open life up to 500,000, is 5 times the national standard 100,000 times, normal open within 10 years will not be damaged, all Moen's faucet in the Chinese market have 5 Years do not leak water quality assurance.
In addition to internality, plating is also very important. Nickel, chromium, titanium, etc. are plated on the body of the brass. Some faucets are said to have been plated with multiple layers. In fact, the quality of the plating is not related to several layers, but is related to the thickness of the coating. Mr. Lu told Taotao that in the industry, it is generally believed that the service life of 1 micron plating is 1 year, and that some inferior tap platings are often only 3 micrometers. That is, after 3 years of use, copper embryos will be exposed and affect the appearance. The good faucet coating is 8-13 microns thick and can be used for more than 10 years without discoloration. At this time, other parts are also aging and need to be replaced. Electroplating is generally used in the market today. Only a few inferior faucets use paint, while high-end PVD technology is used. Moen's space plating technology is based on the use of PVD to add titanium so that the faucet surface does not fade or wear out. , often new days.
According to local conditions, affordable homes
The main material of the faucet is brass, which is an alloy of copper and other metals. However, some inferior faucets use stainless steel. They are shiny and beautiful when they are bought, but they are easily damaged over time. Some of the taps are made of zinc-aluminum alloys, which have low density and high yields. The regular manufacturers sample gravity castings. The equipment used is expensive, the yield is low, and the natural cost is much higher. The zinc and aluminum alloys are not stable. Leading life expectancy can be imagined. Even some unscrupulous traders use industrial copper to produce taps that endanger the health of consumers because such impurities in copper contain lead and other impurities that can cause harm to the human body and cannot be used as a civilian faucet in accordance with regulations.
Is it necessary to purchase a thousand yuan or even a million yuan? It doesn't have to be, there are still good and quality leaders. For example, the famous domestic brand Wrigley's leading, mid-range price of about 500 yuan, the same imported spool, the main material is all made of pure copper material, pure copper material faucet can ensure that there is no water in the use of alkali printing process, And there is a lifetime warranty commitment.
Why are the nobles in those taps worth so much? Mainly related to their brand and design, and more importantly, they usually have "unique secrets": Moen has pressure balance valve technology, so that when you are using water, even if other taps on the same water system are turned on, the warmth changes can be controlled. Within 1°C, avoid hot or cold, or scald accidents caused by it; Gaoyi's unique slap technique allows each shower nozzle to spray perfectly and evenly with the same amount of water, warm and smooth like summer Shower-like feelings; Hansgrohe's "flying rain" technology can make showers change three different ways of water, people enjoy the pleasure of bathing. It can be seen that many technologies are mainly directed at bathing faucets. In today's increasingly fast-paced life, enjoying bathing is a way for many people to eliminate stress and fatigue. Bathing faucets should be used better. " "Luxury" a little to buy a few thousand yuan leader, Taotao feels good, after all, there are people spending millions to buy a super shower!
Of course, what kind of faucet should be purchased should be determined by you. After all, everyone's needs are different. However, it is better to look for brand purchases. Otherwise, if there is a problem, there is nowhere to complain. Out slightly!
Leading purchase and maintenance tips
Choosing a Cheats Look at the Appearance: The chrome plating process on a good faucet is very particular, and it usually takes several steps to complete. Resolving a faucet depends on its brightness. The smoother and brighter the surface, the better the quality.
Turn handle: When the good faucet turns the handle, there is no excessive clearance between the faucet and the switch, and the opening is easy and free from slipping. Poor quality taps not only have large gaps, but also have a large sense of obstruction.
Listen to the sound: The leading material is the most difficult to distinguish. A good faucet is cast copper as a whole and it sounds boring when struck. If the sound is brittle, it must be stainless steel, and the quality will be worse than a grade.
Marking: If you can't tell, you can choose a regular brand. General regular goods have manufacturer's brand logos, and some non-regular products or some quality products often only stick some paper labels, and even without any mark. Care Cheats
Please have experienced and qualified professionals perform the installation. When installing, the faucet should try not to collide with hard objects, and do not leave cement, glue, etc. on the surface, so as not to damage the surface gloss. If it is a new house, the water supply pipe network is a new shop, there will certainly be sand and other impurities in the water. Before installation, pay attention to the removal of debris in the pipeline, long time until the water becomes clear to install the tap.
Kuan Jin Er is not necessarily strict. Many people are accustomed to making certain efforts to close the tap after using the faucet. This is very undesirable. This will not only prevent leaks, but will cause damage to the seal valve, leading to lax closure.
Good habits guarantee integrity as new. In order to avoid rusting, the faucet surface should be wiped clean after being used normally; another faucet is generally more prominent, so be careful not to bump or press it when you put the item.
Smaller water flow to clear impurities. In the case of water pressure not lower than 0.02mpa, if the amount of water found is reduced, it may be blocked inside the faucet. The solution is to use a wrench to gently unscrew the nozzle grille cover at the water outlet of the faucet. After cleaning the impurities, carefully install it. Generally, it can be restored.
In addition, for the convenience of use, the kitchen faucet should be selected higher, and the water spout should be very long. It is better to extend it to the top of the outlet, and it cannot splash water.
