At present, many brands of faucets are designed with series of products in different styles. Consumers can choose according to their preferences and the style of the bathroom when purchasing. Common faucet surfaces include titanium plating, chrome plating, paint, porcelain plating, etc., and stainless steel chrome plating is more common. Colored faucets are also popular among people. The colors are red, yellow, black, blue, etc., which can be matched with other appliances in the bathroom to play a decorative role.

According to performance

When choosing a faucet, you must first open and close the touch handle several times to see if the feel is delicate and tight. Too loose or too tight is not good. The surface finish is also one of the highlights. The better the surface treatment, the smoother and brighter it is, the better its craftsmanship is, and it can also indirectly reflect its quality. In addition to looking at these, you also have to see if there are trachoma or cracks in the joints of the faucet. Trachoma is a small hole and crack that appears on the surface and inside of the copper material during the casting process. If there is trachoma, water will seep after passing water, and it will break in severe cases.

Actual household situation

Shower faucets with two handles, such as hot water on the left hand and cold water on the right hand, have clear markings and are easy to use, making them more suitable for the elderly or children. The single-handle faucet has a relatively good-looking shape and a simple shape. It can be rotated left and right to adjust the hot and cold water. It is easy to operate but needs to be used with caution to avoid scalding.

Faucet valve core

The valve core of a faucet is like a human heart. When choosing, you should pay special attention to the quality of the valve core.

There are three common faucet valve cores on the market: stainless steel ball valves, ceramic valve cores and shaft roller valve cores. The common feature of these three valve cores is that they are holistic, with the entire core shaft as one, easy to install, repair and replace. Among them, the advantage of the ceramic valve core is that the price is low and the pollution to the water quality is small, but the ceramic texture is brittle and easy to break; the advantage of the shaft roller valve core is that the handle rotates smoothly, the operation is easy and simple, and it is resistant to aging and wear; and the stainless steel ball valve has a high technological content. Some high-end bathroom products use it as the valve core of their newer faucet products, which can accurately control the water temperature and ensure that the hot water flows out quickly and accurately, saving both water and energy.

Water-saving performance

With the rise in water prices, people have to pay attention to the water-saving performance of faucets. Usually, the water output of an ordinary faucet is greatly different from that of a water-saving faucet. The water-saving faucets on the market can be opened and closed hundreds of thousands of times without leaking a drop of water, and can save 30-50% of water compared to old faucets. New faucets with various high-tech technologies such as ceramic chips, variable-pitch, and self-closing are tightly closed and sensitive, and the closing speed is only one-tenth of the old faucets, with significant water-saving effects. The new water-saving faucets have new designs, which can adjust or remove the water saver installed in the faucet by themselves, and freely switch to control the water-saving rate, thereby enhancing the water-saving effect. Products made of ball valves are recognized by the industry as excellent in water saving. When purchasing, you can consult the sales staff about products using related technologies. Most well-known brands on the market have such products.
