The mop pool faucet is a type of hardware product that will be installed in most modern bathroom spaces. It is mainly used to clean the rag when cleaning, so it is a special faucet for mop and other cleaning products. Its main materials are brass, zinc alloy plus copper tube, plastic, iron, stainless steel, etc., and the performance and market price of mop faucets of different materials are different.
In order to buy high-quality mop pool faucet products, consumers have to consider the following major aspects, and each step needs to pay attention to the selection of its details.
1. Turn the handle: it feels light and the valve core is good
Common faucet spools include steel ball spools and ceramic spools. The steel ball spool has good pressure resistance, but the disadvantage is that the rubber sealing ring that acts as a seal is easy to wear and age quickly. Compared with the steel ball spool, the ceramic spool is more heat-resistant and wear-resistant. At the same time, the ceramic spool itself has good sealing performance, so it can achieve a high resistance to opening times, and will not cause the water nozzle to drip due to the wear of the spool. The faucet with ceramic valve core is more comfortable and smooth to the touch, and it opens and closes quickly.
2. Look at the appearance: the coating should be as bright as a mirror
After the faucet is ground and polished, the surface should be plated with nickel or chromium to prevent the faucet from being oxidized. After nickel or chrome plating, the faucet should be subjected to a medium-scale hydrochloric acid test. After the test, the coating should be free of rust within a certain period of time. It is understood that only faucets that pass the neutral salt spray test can leave the factory. When consumers are purchasing, it is best to place the faucet in a place with sufficient light for inspection. The surface of the faucet should be as bright as a mirror, without any oxidation spots, burnt marks, no pores, no bubbles, no missing plating, and uniform color; There are no burrs and sand particles to the touch; after pressing the faucet with your fingers, the fingerprints will quickly disperse, and it is not easy to attach dirt.
3. To test: the quality is more guaranteed
The main body of the faucet is generally brass. The electroplating quality of products made of brass is the most guaranteed. The higher the purity of the brass, the better the electroplating quality, and the electroplating layer on the surface is less likely to be corroded. In order to reduce costs, some manufacturers choose zinc alloy instead of brass. Although the country allows the use of zinc alloy instead of brass, the quality of zinc alloy plating is poor and its corrosion resistance is not strong. Generally speaking, consumers can use the method of estimating the weight to identify when purchasing. Brass is heavier and harder, and zinc alloy is lighter and softer. the quality of.
4. Test water flow: subject to abundant foaming
When purchasing, consumers should try their best to choose a faucet with a bubbler, and feel the water flow with their hands. The water flow is soft and foaming (the bubble content of the water flow) is rich, indicating that the quality of the bubbler is better. The bubbler generally has six layers, and is usually made of a metal mesh cover (partly plastic). When the water flows through the mesh cover, it will be cut into a large number of small water columns with air in the middle, so that the water will not be fragmented.
Of course, for the sake of further safety, it is recommended that consumers choose some products produced by well-known local brand enterprises for purchase. You must know that the after-sales service system of large-scale brand enterprises is generally very good, and the most Fortunately, when purchasing a product, you must write its after-sales service terms into the purchase contract, so that there will be quality assurance!
