I believe that people who care about home life have also seen a lot of common sense about life through the Internet. However, are those common senses really correct? How many are misrepresented? Let’s read them one by one.
1. Now some people think that the toilet seat is unhygienic and add a special toilet seat. Is this right?
The quality standard of the toilet seat stipulates that the surface of the seat is not allowed to have surface damage and surface pores, and it is required to have sufficient anti-contamination ability. The purpose is to make the surface of the seat smooth and compact enough, easy to clean and maintain hygiene. As long as it is properly maintained, the toilet seat itself can maintain a relatively hygienic state, and there is no need for an additional gasket.
More importantly, the common seat gaskets on the market are usually made of textiles. The surface of the textiles is crisp and loose, which is very easy to absorb dirt and breed bacteria. If you add gaskets to keep warm, be sure to change and wash them frequently.
2. It is said on the Internet that the height of the water tank should be selected when choosing a toilet. The higher the water tank, the stronger the flushing force and the cleaner the flushing. Is it true?
The flushing force is not necessarily related to the height of the water tank. The flushing effect of the toilet is closely related to factors such as the water consumption of the toilet, the drainage flow of the water tank, the hydrodynamic characteristics of the sewage pipe, the direction and flow of the water outlet hole, and the poor coordination of any one of these factors may affect the flushing effect, so it is not the height of the water tank. The higher the flushing effect, the better. Less water, low water tank or even no water tank, and light weight have always been the research and development direction of sanitary ware companies.
3. Some people say that if the surface of the ceramic washbasin has cracked but there is no obvious water leakage, it can be ignored?
When the surface of the ceramic basin is cracked, the structural strength of the product will also change accordingly, and the load-bearing performance will inevitably decline. Once the load is too heavy, it will easily cause the product to break and collapse, causing human injury. In addition, cracks on the surface of the basin are easy to absorb dirt, breed bacteria and produce odor. Therefore, the surface of the ceramic basin should be replaced in time after it cracks.
4. There is a trick to buy faucets on the Internet – press the surface of the faucet with your finger, and the fingerprints will soon dissipate, indicating that the quality of the coating is very good. Is this true?
Fingerprints quickly dissipate on the surface of the faucet, which means that the surface of the faucet coating is relatively smooth, which reflects to a certain extent that the substrate is polished and polished better. However, the indicators for judging the quality of the coating include the thickness of the coating and the rationality of the electroplating process. Therefore, this method cannot be fully used as a basis.
5. For faucets and showers of the same size, the heavier the weight, the better the quality. Is this true?
In the past, due to the relatively backward plumbing processing technology, consumers often judged the quality by weight when choosing faucets. Because this method can roughly judge whether the faucet is made of copper alloy with relatively stable quality or zinc alloy with light weight and easy corrosion. But now with the help of gravity casting, new electroplating and other new processes and new materials, the weight of the faucet has been significantly reduced, and it has reached or far below the weight limit required by the standard. Therefore, the above method can only roughly judge poor products and general products.
6. When buying ceramic basins and toilets, does the whiter the color, the better the quality of the glaze?
The quality of sanitary ceramic glaze is not measured by color. The national standard sets a series of requirements on the appearance quality of sanitary ceramics, and judges product glazes by checking defects such as cracks, brown eyes, blank cracks, glaze blisters, spots, mottled spots, ripples, bumps, glaze shrinkage, and color differences on the glazed surface of the product. Whether it is white, golden or beige glaze, the fewer the above defects, the better the quality of the glaze.
7. It is said that the faucet with steel ball spool is better than that with ceramic spool, is it true?
According to the different materials of the spool, the faucet can be divided into a rubber spool faucet, a ceramic spool faucet and a stainless steel spool faucet. The rubber valve core has basically withdrawn from the market due to its poor durability and wear resistance. The ceramic valve core is made of ceramic material and has good quality. The ceramic valve core itself has good sealing performance. The stainless steel valve core can be divided into steel ball valve core and stainless steel ball valve core. 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 valve core, the ceramic valve core is more heat-resistant and wear-resistant. The stainless steel ball spool is a faucet spool with high technological content at present. It has ideal wear resistance, impact resistance and durability, and has good adaptability, but its cost is also significantly higher than other types of spools. Consumers should choose the appropriate spool according to their actual needs when purchasing.
reliable tips
When purchasing ceramic sanitary ware, you should do three steps: look at the glaze, look at the flushing water, and check the test report. The glazed surface of good quality sanitary ware is bright in color, smooth and smooth, without bubbles or blemishes, and is still as bright and clean as new after repeated use.
During use, do not use steel brushes and strong organic solutions to clean the sanitary ware, so as not to damage the glazed surface of the product and corrode the pipe; do not pour superheated water into the sanitary ware, so as not to damage the glazed surface of the sanitary ware; clean the filter at least once a month to prevent the water tank from Slow or no water intake will affect normal use; do not use chlorine-containing cleaners in the water tank, otherwise it may damage the device in the water tank and cause leakage; do not place hard or heavy objects on the toilet cover, such as Water tank covers, flower pots, buckets, pots, etc., otherwise it will scratch the surface or cause cracks; do not use volatile agents, thinners or other chemicals to clean the toilet cover, otherwise it will corrode the surface; do not use sharp wire brushes, blades, etc. To clean the utensils, it is recommended to wash them with a soft cloth to avoid damage to the plastic cover.
When purchasing plumbing hardware, firstly, check the test report; secondly, check whether there are obvious defects on the surface; thirdly, look at the hand feel. The high-quality faucet should be opened and closed smoothly, lightly, and without jamming. Turn the handle of the faucet. The connection between the handle and the valve stem should be firm without looseness; the fourth is to look at the after-sales service, it is best to choose a company with a good reputation and a large market share.
