1. Look at the performance
When choosing a shower faucet, first open and close the handle a few times to see if the feel is delicate and elastic, too loose and tight is not good. The surface finish is also one of the highlights, the better the surface treatment, the smoother and brighter, indicating that the better the shower faucet technology, can also indirectly reflect its quality. In addition to looking at these, it is also necessary to see if there is trachoma or cracks in the seams of the faucet. Trachoma is the surface and interior of copper materials in the casting process of small holes and cracks, if there is trachoma, after water will seep water, severe fracture will occur.
2. Look at the actual situation of the family
Two handles of the shower faucet, such as the left hand is hot water, the right hand is cold water, clear signage, easy to use, more suitable for the elderly or children. The shape of the single handle is relatively good-looking, the shape is simple, and the rotation left and right adjusts hot and cold water, which is convenient to operate but needs to be used carefully to avoid scalding.
3. Look at the faucet spool
The valve core of the faucet is like the human heart, and the quality of the valve core should be paid special attention to when choosing.
There are three common faucet spools on the market: stainless steel ball valves, ceramic disc spools and shaft roller spools. The common feature of these three valve cores is that it has integrity, the whole mandrel is integrated, easy to install, maintain, replace, among which the advantage of ceramic plate valve core is low price, less pollution to water quality, but ceramic texture is more brittle, easy to break; The advantages of the shaft roller valve spool are smooth rotation of the handle, easy and simple operation, aging resistance, wear resistance; The stainless steel ball valve has high technological content, and some high-end bathroom products use it as the valve core of their new faucet products, which can accurately control the water temperature and ensure that the hot water flows out quickly and accurately, which is both water-saving and energy-saving.
4. Look at the water-saving performance
With the rise in water prices, people have to pay attention to the water saving of faucets. Usually an ordinary faucet has a very different water output than a water-saving faucet. The water-saving faucets on the market can be opened and closed hundreds of thousands of times without missing a drop of water, which can save 30-50% of water compared with the old faucets. Like ceramic chips, variable distance, self-closing and other high-tech new faucets, tightly closed, sensitive induction, closing speed is only one-tenth of the old faucet, water-saving effect is remarkable, and the new water-saving faucet has a new design, can adjust or remove the water saver installed in the faucet, free conversion control of the water-saving rate, thereby strengthening the water-saving effect. Products made of ball valves are recognized by the industry as excellent in water saving, and you can consult with sales staff about products using related technologies when purchasing, and most of the well-known brands on the market have such products.
