How to choose a kitchen sink faucets?

Nowadays, everyone is very concerned about the safety of water quality. In order to prevent secondary pollution of domestic water, the faucet is very important. How do we choose a faucet with good health and quality?

One: the choice of kitchen sink faucets handle

The current faucet handles are mainly divided into: screw type, single handle, double handle, with 90° switch.

The history of the screw-type faucet is the longest. The faucet with a handle that has a large water output, affordable price, simple maintenance, and still popular.

Single-handle faucet is easy to operate and simple in structure. Because the water pressure will rise quickly when the single-handle faucet is turned on and off, so when you buy a single-handle faucet, choose a faucet with high copper content.

Double handle faucet can be suitable for more occasions, such as undercounter basin faucet, bathtub faucet of Jacuzzi, etc. At the same time, double handle faucet is more precise and delicate when adjusting water temperature, suitable for people who are sensitive to temperature.

With a 90° switch, you can rotate the handle 90° when starting and closing. It can be adjusted on both sides of hot and cold water. It is characterized by easy opening and more styles.

Two: Does the faucet have a bubbler?

All faucets on the market have aerators, but faucets with aerators are generally of better quality. It is recommended to buy a faucet, it is best to buy a faucet with a bubbler. Because the bubbler has the function of preventing water splashing, saving water and having water quality filtering.

How to choose a good bubbler? First of all, a good bubbler uses high-quality stainless steel mesh, which can be seen by the naked eye. You can also turn on the faucet, and the water flow is soft and foaming (water flow bubble content), indicating that the bubbler is of better quality.

3: The core component of the kitchen sink faucets: the valve core

The most important thing that affects the quality of the faucet is the valve core.

There are three kinds of common valve cores: ceramic disc valve core, stainless steel ball and roller type valve core.

The best of these three spools is ceramic disc. Because the roller type is a relatively old-fashioned valve core, it can no longer meet the needs of the current crowd for the valve core, and the roller type valve core is rarely seen in the leading brand production.

Ceramic valve core is widely used because of its good wear resistance, good sealing performance, and the improvement of “brittleness”.

4: Electroplating process of kitchen sink faucets

The electroplating of the faucet directly affects the beauty of a faucet, and also directly determines the anti-corrosion and anti-rust performance of the faucet. At present, the international standard for electroplating thickness of faucets is 8 microns, and the best is up to 12 microns.

The faucet with good quality is generally electroplated with semi-gloss nickel, bright nickel and chromium on the refined copper body. There are also domestic faucets that promote five-layer electroplating. The five-layer electroplating includes three layers of copper such as hydrogen-plated copper, pure copper, and acid copper, followed by nickel and chromium plating.
