Are you surprised that the faucets in the mall are cheap for a few yuan and expensive for a few hundred yuan? How much is the faucet in your home?
A simple faucet can be a lot of twists and turns. Look carefully at the commercial advertisements and you can feel whether the all-copper forged faucet, lead-free faucet, and ceramic valve core sound very tall. What kind of faucet is the real high-quality faucet?

1: Material
Don't choose all plastic (pvc) faucets. These faucets are generally simple in technology and can not be guaranteed in quality, so they are not suitable for long-term use at home. At present, the most popular choices with good materials on the market are all-copper faucets and stainless steel faucets. Copper forged metal has good fluidity, is not easy to oxidize compared with steel, and copper itself has natural bacteriostasis, which is more suitable for manufacturing faucets than other raw materials. The best stainless steel faucet is made of 304 stainless steel, which is safer, healthier and more durable for consumers.

2: Valve core
Most faucet valve cores in shopping malls are made of ceramics. On the one hand, ceramics have excellent wear resistance, and on the other hand, the cost of ceramics is low. The ceramic valve core has good sealing performance, and the handle of the switch is more comfortable and smooth. At present, the opening times of the medium and high-end ceramic valve core can reach 500000 times, with the disadvantage that it is easy to break. In addition to the ceramic valve core, there is also a steel ball valve core. The main advantage of this kind of valve core is its good compression resistance. The disadvantage is that the rubber ring used for sealing is easy to wear, and will soon age, and the service life of the steel ball valve core is short.

3: Blister
Good faucets are usually equipped with a bubbler. The function of the bubbler is to make the water flow soft and comfortable without splashing. In addition, it can effectively save water. Therefore, when purchasing, try to choose the faucet with a bubbler.

4: Weight
Although weight is not equal to mass, in most cases, the heavier the faucet is, the better the quality is. When selecting the faucet, you should pick up the faucet and feel its weight. If it is too light, it means that the product is cut corners in order to save costs in the production process.

5: Surface
Basically, the faucets have been treated with surface technology. The copper faucets are generally polished and plated, and the stainless steel faucets are generally polished and brushed. During selection, attention should be paid to see whether there are burrs, pores, corrosion, and oxidation spots. If the surface is electroplated, you should also feel the thickness of electroplating, the effect of electroplating mirror, and the surface of good electroplating is like a mirror.

6: Turn the handle
Gently turn the handle of the faucet, you should feel that there is no gap between the faucet and the handle, the switch is free, there is appropriate resistance, but it will not slip.
