If you buy a few yuan faucet at a small price, you will find that water leakage, rust, odor and other conditions are endless.Today, I will summarize a guide to the purchase of household faucets: Don't be trapped by the bends inside!

1. Type of faucet
It is divided into 4 types according to the place of use:
Kitchen washing basin faucet: It is mainly of universal and pull-out type, with high throw arc design. Pay attention to the combination of cold and hot, usually single cold.
Toilet basin faucet: the faucet equipped with the basin on the table will be higher, and other basins will be relatively lower.
Bathroom shower faucet: configured with the shower.
Water faucet: like mop pool, the faucet is directly connected to the water pipe, which is equivalent to a simple valve.
There are four types of opening modes:
Screw type, lifting type, wrench type, induction type.
The lift type and wrench type are commonly used in modern families; Inductive type is common in public places; The spiral style is older, and it was often used before, but it is not used now.

2. Selection and purchase of faucet materials
Arrange from bad to good——
Plastic: cheap but not durable, suitable for renting.
Alloy: lead is easy to rust.
Brass, refined copper: refined copper is better than brass, but brass is often used as refined copper in the market.
Stainless steel: not easy to rust and corrosion.

3. How about the quality of a faucet?
Observation of surface coating is the most intuitive method. The coating on the surface of a high-quality faucet is free of rust spots, pores, smooth to the touch and good gloss.
In addition to the inductive faucet, turn the handle of the faucet once to make it smooth without blocking.

Valve element:
The service life of ceramic valve core is more than 10 years, and the price is not expensive. Now it is popular.
The rubber valve core is commonly used in the old spiral faucet, but it is not common nowadays.
The quality of stainless steel ball valve core is self-evident. It has strong corrosion resistance and is suitable for areas with poor water quality. However, the production cost is much higher than that of ceramic valve core. The ceramic valve core used in ordinary areas is sufficient, and it is unnecessary to pursue top matching.
