What Are the Categories of Household Faucets?

Faucets are indispensable in the home. Faucets are used in the kitchen, bathroom or balcony. Many faucets look similar at first glance, but in fact, household faucets are also classified into different categories. Ordinary faucets, electric faucets, induction faucets, thermostatic faucets, showers and bathroom accessories, each of which has different designs and styles.

Ordinary faucets: including single-handle faucets, double-handle faucets, basin faucets, bathtub faucets, kitchen faucets, women's wash faucets, single cold faucets, and mechanical flushing valves. Most of these faucets are mainly used at home, and the scope of use mainly involves kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms. Ordinary household faucets are no longer simply usable in this era. With the diversification of home decoration styles, they also reveal individual designs and extraordinary tastes.

Electric hot water faucets: They need to be plugged in to heat tap water through the built-in heating tube. The power is generally 2-3KW, and hot water can be produced in 5-10 seconds. The heating device is integrated with the faucet. Judging from the current usage in the market, it is not a popular home configuration, mainly because of the small water output, low thermal efficiency and high power of the faucet. It cannot replace the household integrated water heater at all, and the cost performance is not obvious. In addition, it is easy to produce scale in the faucet after long-term use. Once there is too much scale, the service life of the faucet will not be long.

Induction faucet: commonly used in public places such as public toilets and hotels. The biggest advantage is water saving! However, the cost is relatively high and maintenance is relatively troublesome.

Constant temperature faucet: mainly wall-mounted constant temperature bathtub faucet, wall-mounted constant temperature shower faucet, wall-mounted constant temperature bathtub faucet, wall-mounted constant temperature shower faucet, floor-standing constant temperature bathtub faucet. This faucet mainly mixes cold water and hot water into a pre-set water temperature. Most faucets use paraffin constant temperature original valve core, and there is also a relatively niche memory alloy spring valve core. Friends who have installed a constant temperature faucet must pay attention to the hot water inlet temperature setting must be higher than the temperature setting of the constant temperature faucet when using it.

Shower: There are many types of showers, and the styles are endless, mainly including shower heads, hand-held showers, and shower columns. When purchasing, in addition to considering the style of the shower, you should also pay attention to your own water pressure, otherwise the bathing effect of the product itself may not be achieved.

Bathroom accessories: mainly include basin drainers, bathtub drainers, etc., and you can choose these accessories according to your personal needs.
