Notes on purchasing kitchen faucet

1. Large water and fast water stop

Tap water output size (but after installation to know). It is better to choose a tap with large water output and stop water quickly, so as to avoid the waste of too much water resources. It is suggested that the height should be higher, and the outlet nozzle should be as long as possible to extend to the upper part of the drainage outlet, so that it is not easy to splash water, and the water can be used reasonably.

2. Appearance

It is easy to observe the appearance. Generally speaking, the surface of good quality faucet will be treated by multi-layer electroplating layer. Its surface brightness will be better, also more smooth, the color of the whole appearance looks even. After a series of processes, the faucet will have scratch resistance and corrosion resistance, which will extend its service life. Secondly, when the handle of the faucet is turned, there will be no excessive gap between the faucet and the switch, and the switch is easy and will not hinder the effect of slippage. The gap of inferior faucet is very large and the sense of obstruction is large; Thirdly, check whether the parts, especially the main parts, are tightly assembled. The valve body and handle of a good faucet are all made of brass or stainless steel, with heavy weight and heavy feeling;

3. Rotation

When choosing a faucet, you can move its switch several times to see if each part is firm. Usually, when the high-quality faucet rotates the handle, there will not be too big gap between the faucet and the switch, and it is easier to close and open, and it is not easy to slip. But the inferior quality not only has a large gap, but also has a strong sense of obstruction. It is hard to twist. In the process of use, there may be insufficient water or water leakage.

4.cartridge

The valve core can be said to be the "heart" of the whole faucet, the material used is more critical. As far as possible to choose the use of ceramic pieces, this is because of its wear resistance, sealing is relatively high, the use of time will be longer. And it is not easy to leak, so it can be used more smoothly. If it is found that the water yield decreases after using for a period of time, you can gently screw off the filter screen at the water outlet to remove the impurities remaining on it, and the smooth flow of water can be restored.
