The basin faucet is one of many faucets. Most of the basin faucets used in today's life are relatively common hot and cold water faucets. The basin faucet provides a more comfortable water flow for our daily washing, and it is also very convenient for the exchange of hot and cold water. We naturally judge the quality of the basin faucet from the speed of the water flow provided by the basin faucet and whether it is easy to switch on and off when used. Different basin faucet brands have great differences in design.

How to choose a basin faucet?

1. Look at the appearance of the basin faucet: the coating is smooth and beautiful

When purchasing, pay attention to the appearance of the faucet. The surface chrome plating process of a good faucet is very particular, and it usually takes several processes to complete. The quality of the faucet depends on its brightness. The smoother and brighter the surface, the better the quality.

When consumers purchase, it is best to place the basin faucet in a well-lit place for inspection. The surface of the basin faucet should be as bright as a mirror, without any oxidation spots, burn marks, pores, bubbles, plating, and uniform color; there should be no burrs or sand particles when touched by hand; after pressing the faucet with your fingers, the fingerprints will quickly spread, and it is not easy to attach dirt.

2. Turn the handle of the basin faucet

Good faucet manufacturers are very careful in the production process of the faucet. When turning the handle, there will not be too obvious gaps, and the switch is smoother, and there will be no slipping or resistance.

3. Recognize the brand: choose a faucet brand with more complete after-sales service

Consumers should go to regular markets and supermarkets to buy branded faucets. Branded products all have the brand logo of the manufacturer, while informal products or inferior products often only have some paper labels or even no markings. The packaging box of the basin faucet should also have the brand logo, quality guarantee and after-sales service card of the faucet manufacturer.

4. Recognize the faucet quality inspection book: protect rights and interests

Generally speaking, consumers can use the weight estimation method to identify when purchasing. Brass is heavier and harder, while zinc alloy is lighter and softer. However, relevant experts believe that the quality of basin faucets should not be judged by weight alone, "because some faucet manufacturers can make basin faucets heavier by increasing the wall thickness of basin faucets or adding other metal materials." Consumers are better off asking sales staff for the product inspection report. If the inspection report determines that the product is qualified, there is no big problem.

In addition, consumers should choose a more durable integral cast basin faucet. The integrally cast basin faucet makes a duller sound when knocked. Consumers can judge whether the basin faucet is integrally cast by knocking on it when purchasing.

5. See the water flow: rich and soft foam.

When purchasing, consumers should try to choose a basin faucet with a bubbler and feel the water flow with their hands. The soft water flow and rich foaming (water flow bubble content) indicate that the bubbler is of good quality. The bubbler generally has six layers, usually composed 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 splash everywhere.
