The kitchen faucet is an indispensable hardware for home life. Many friends may ignore the importance of the kitchen faucet when purchasing it. When using it, they think that the kitchen faucet can continue to be used as long as it does not leak. However, the quality of the kitchen faucet is closely related to physical health. Let's take a look at whether a kitchen faucet that does not leak can be used for a lifetime? The correct way to use and purchase a kitchen faucet!

1. Drinking kitchen faucets should be replaced when they expire

For drinking kitchen faucets, regardless of whether there are quality problems such as leakage, they will rust to varying degrees after long-term use, resulting in an increase in the amount of lead precipitation, affecting the health of the family. It is recommended to replace them every 5 years. For other non-drinking kitchen faucets, I personally think that as long as they are not broken, they can continue to be used.

2. Why the water output has become smaller

If you find that the water output of your kitchen faucet is smaller than before, you need to check whether there is a problem with the valve or whether there is slag blocking the inside of the kitchen faucet.

3. Kitchen faucets will leave fingerprints

If fingerprints are easily left on the surface of the kitchen faucet, and the fingerprints will become more and more flowery, it means that the quality of the kitchen faucet is problematic. A good kitchen faucet has a good coating quality, and the fingerprints left on it will disappear quickly.

4. Buy kitchen faucets according to the structure of the basin

When buying a kitchen faucet, you should not only look at the size of the connection hole, but also pay attention to the shape and structure of the basin, especially the height of the installed basin has changed, and ordinary basin kitchen faucets are no longer applicable.

5. The heavier the kitchen faucet, the better

Many friends think that the heavier the kitchen faucet, the higher the purity of the material. The kitchen faucet should not be too light. Lightweight faucets often hollow out the internal copper and are prone to bursting due to water pressure. But the heavier the kitchen faucet, the better. If recycled copper is used as raw material or stainless steel parts are added, the weight of the faucet can be increased. The impurities contained in the recycled materials will also increase, which will directly cause the heavy metal content of the product to exceed the standard, causing secondary pollution to drinking water and affecting human health.

6. Is the induction kitchen faucet good?

Induction kitchen faucets have the advantages of being easy to use and more water-saving. Many friends may consider installing them at home. It is not recommended for families to use induction kitchen faucets. The water output is small and the price is high. If it is damaged, the repair cost is also high.
