How to Check the Quality of Faucets?

Faucets are essential accessories in home decoration, and they are also the most frequently used household items besides beds, so choosing a good faucet is crucial for household water use. So what aspects should you consider when buying a faucet?

1. Material. 

The high-quality faucet materials on the market currently include selected 59 copper and low-lead copper. Because copper is the best material for making Faucets. The poorer material is copper-zinc alloy. Faucets which are made of this material are prone to defects such as cracks and sand holes, and the electroplating layer is prone to pitting, bubbling, poor adhesion of the coating, etc. After a period of usage, the coating appearance is severely corroded or even falls off.

2. Ceramic valve core. 

High-quality ceramic valve cores have the advantages of high temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high mechanical strength, good lubrication performance, etc., and the opening and closing feel is comfortable and smooth, and durable.

3. Aerator. 

High-quality aerators can fully mix the flowing water with the air to produce a bubbling effect. The water volume is sufficient, the bubbler is rich and delicate, and the water flow feels very soft and comfortable without splashing. At the same time, it will increase the flushing force to achieve the effect of water saving.

4. Chrome plating. 

High-quality Faucets are generally nickel-plated and chrome-plated. The nickel layer plays an anti-corrosion role, and the chrome layer plays a role in hardening the surface and increasing the brightness.
