At present, there are many kinds of faucet products on the market, and the quality is also uneven. If you buy a low-quality faucet, it will not only be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and expensive, but may even endanger your family’s health.
How to choose a good faucet, please remember the following key points!
1. Material
Regarding the material of the faucet, remember this formula: plastic < zinc alloy < cast iron < ceramic < stainless steel < copper.
If you are still using plastic/zinc alloy/cast iron faucets, it is strongly recommended that you replace them immediately! Long-term use of faucets of these three materials will cause harm to the human body.
Plastic faucets are easily damaged and have the shortest service life; zinc alloys are easily oxidized when exposed to water for a long time, releasing heavy metals such as zinc and lead that are harmful to the human body; cast iron materials are easy to rust, leak water and endanger health.
2. Spool
The quality of the valve core affects the water saving effect of the faucet. At present, there are two main types of valve cores for faucets on the market: ceramic valve cores and steel ball valve cores.
