admin — Thu, 24 Oct 2019 10:04:36 +0000

The shower is one of the three major water products in the bathroom. Every time you bathe, you will waste water and gas. Therefore, a water-saving shower is your best choice for fashion and environmental protection. It can adjust the water pressure. Achieve water-saving effects and save bathing water while improving the bathing experience. How to choose the water shower?

The first step: see the water function: supercharged shower
The water-saving pressurized shower head keeps the water pressure stable and balances the water volume, which can not only boost the water but also save water, and enhance the bathing experience. The principle of water-saving shower is intelligent current limiting. The water inlet area is automatically adjusted according to the water pressure, and the oxygen content of air and water is increased.

The second step: Look at the appearance and material: ceramic spool
Observe that the appearance and material of the shower are mainly the valve core and the plating layer. The brighter and more delicate the shower surface, the better the processing of the coating. A good spool is made of a very hard ceramic that is smooth and wear resistant. High-quality showers generally use all-copper tubes, and the copper tube knocks sounds crisp.

The third step: comparing the price of the shower: value for money
Many people think that the more expensive the shower, the better the performance, in fact, this is wrong. When buying a shower, in addition to comparing the price, we must also compare the specific functions, try to choose a cost-effective product, in order to get value for money.

Water tap selection method
The faucet is also one of the sanitary wares with more water. Especially for the homes with the elderly and children, it is inevitable that the faucets are often used. A water-saving faucet can easily solve the problem of water consumption. The faucet filter can make the water full of delicate and skin-friendly foam, and it can save water. The following three steps teach you how to choose a water-saving faucet.

First step: spool and coating: stainless steel ball valve, copper ball valve
The valve core is the most important part of the faucet. It has strong wear resistance and good sealing performance. At present, the best water saving is the faucet made of ball valve, especially the stainless steel ball valve and copper ball valve, which can control the water temperature. It saves water and energy.

The second step: Consider environmental protection: foam water saving
The principle of the water tap is to add a special bubbler to the faucet. The water will not splash and save water. The bubble can enhance the affinity of the water wash. When purchasing, you can first check or ask the customer service whether the water flow shows bubbles. Also consider its mix and shape you like.

The third step: appearance and quality: aluminum alloy and stainless steel chrome
Generally, according to the quality level, there are several types: titanium alloy products, copper chrome plating products, stainless steel chrome plating products, aluminum alloy chrome plating products, and iron chrome plating products. Aluminum and stainless steel chrome faucets are sufficient for general households.

How to choose a faucet?

Buy the quality of the faucet in the front, the style is behind

There are many styles of faucets, which should be quality first and second in style. The faucet control handle has a single handle and a double handle. Many consumers think that the single-handle faucet is new and the double handle is outdated. In fact, this is a matter of appearance and does not indicate the quality. When purchasing, you should proceed from the actual situation. The single-handle faucet is characterized by convenient control and simple structure. The double handle requires two hands to adjust the water temperature, but the style can be suitable for more occasions (such as under the basin faucet, massage faucet, etc.). When the single-handle faucet is turned on and off, the water pressure will rise rapidly. If the copper content of the product is not high, it will not be able to withstand the expansion of the water pressure, so it is easy to damage, so the single-handle faucet should be slowly used when it is used. Turn it on and off. The double-handle faucet has a large pressure range, and the water pressure is slowly released, so there is no such problem.

There are a wide variety of faucets on the market, which makes people feel at a loss when they buy. Buying a suitable, high-quality faucet will greatly help you in your future life. Here are five tips for buying.

First, look at the surface

First look at the brightness of the surface. The valve body of the faucet is made of brass. After grinding and polishing, the surface is coated with nickel and chrome. The coating of regular products has specific technical requirements, and through the neutral salt spray test, there is no rust within the specified time limit. Therefore, when purchasing, pay attention to the gloss of the surface, the hand touches no burrs, no pores, no oxidation spots. To distinguish the quality of the faucet depends on its brightness, the smoother the surface, the brighter the better the quality.

Second, turn handle

The second is to gently turn the handle to see if it is light and flexible, with or without blocking stagnation. Some very cheap products use a quality spool, the technical coefficient is not up to standard, and their price is 3-4 times different. Therefore, do not set the faucet price as the only standard when purchasing. When the faucet rotates the handle, there is no excessive gap between the faucet and the switch, and the opening is easy and unobstructed, and does not slip; the inferior faucet not only has a large gap, but also has a large resistance.

Third, listen to the sound

The good faucet is the overall casting of copper, the sound is dull when knocked; if the sound is very brittle, it must be stainless steel, the quality is worse than a grade.

Fourth, identification mark

Identify product tags. General formal goods have the manufacturer’s brand identity in order to identify and prevent counterfeiting. Some informal products or quality products tend to stick only some paper labels, even without any marks. Be sure to pay attention to the purchase. What brand of faucet is good >>

Five, check the parts

Check the various parts of the faucet, especially if the main parts are assembled tightly, and there should be no loose feeling. The valve body and handle of the good faucet are all refined with the brand name brass, and the weight is heavier and has a dignified feeling.

What is the role of the spool?

Most of the faucets are made of special bubblers on the water-saving appliances. The water will not splash. When water is saved, the aerobic water with bubbles has better flushing power and comfort. When purchasing, you can test the water first to see if the water shows bubbles. Also consider its combination with sanitary ware to see if the model is correct. The price of the faucet is high, but it is still economical in the long run. Choose the water-saving faucet, in addition to picking your favorite faucet shape, you must pay special attention to the quality of the spool.

The best is the faucet made of ball valve, which is the industry’s best water-saving product. In particular, stainless steel ball valves and copper ball valves can control the water temperature to ensure that hot water flows out quickly and accurately, saving water and energy.

The spool is a valve component that relies on its movement to achieve the basic functions of directional control, pressure control or flow control. The control of any faucet requires a spool. For the faucet, the quality of the spool is an important basis for the quality evaluation of the faucet. It can be said that the most important factor affecting the quality of the faucet is the spool.

Type of faucet spool

Common faucet spools have steel ball spools and ceramic spools. The steel ball valve core has good resistance to pressure, but the defect is that the rubber sealing ring which is used for sealing is easy to wear and will soon age. Compared with the steel ball valve core, the ceramic valve core is more heat-resistant and wear-resistant. The ceramic valve core itself has an excellent sealing function, so that it can reach a high number of open-opening times without causing the nozzle to drip due to the wear of the valve core. The ceramic valve core faucet is also more comfortable and smooth, and is open and closed.

First, look at the appearance: the coating should be bright as a mirror
First look at the brightness of the surface. The valve body of the faucet is made of brass. After grinding and polishing, the surface is coated with nickel and chrome. The coating of regular products has specific technical requirements, and through the neutral salt spray test, there is no rust within the specified time limit. Therefore, when purchasing, pay attention to the gloss of the surface, the hand touches no burrs, no pores, no oxidation spots. To distinguish the quality of the faucet depends on its brightness, the smoother the surface, the brighter the better the quality.

Fifth,Test water flow: foaming is rich and soft, indicating that the bubbler is better
Consumers should try to choose a faucet with a bubbler when purchasing, and feel the water flow with the hand touch. The water flow is soft and foaming (the bubble content of the water flow) is rich, indicating that the bubbler quality is better. The bubbler generally has six layers, usually consisting of a metal mesh cover (partially plastic). When the water flows through the mesh cover, it is cut into a large number of small water columns with air in between, so that the water does not splash around.

Sixth, recognize the brand: choose the brand after-sales service is more secure

Finally, consumers should go to the formal market and supermarkets to buy branded taps. Branded goods have the brand identity of the manufacturer. Non-formal products or quality products often only have some paper labels attached, or even no mark. The manufacturer’s brand logo, quality guarantee and after-sales service card should also be included in the faucet packaging box.

5 key points for maintenance of the faucet

admin — Sun, 18 Aug 2019 06:54:51 +0000

♦ When the gas temperature is lower than 0 degree, if the handle of the faucet is abnormal, it must be sprayed with hot water until the feel is normal, otherwise it will affect the service life of the faucet spool.

♦ The dripping phenomenon will occur after the faucet is closed, which is caused by the residual water in the inner cavity of the faucet, which is a normal phenomenon. If it is a long time, if there is dripping in more than ten minutes, it will be leaking, indicating that the product has quality problems.

♦ Due to the trace amount of carbonate in the water, it is easy to form scale on the surface of the metal to corrode the surface of the faucet, which affects the cleaning and service life of the faucet. Therefore, after using the faucet, always use a soft cotton cloth or sponge with neutral soap to wipe the surface of the faucet (note: do not wipe with corrosive or acidic materials), and then dry the surface with a soft cloth. Avoid using wire clusters or scouring pads with hard particles.

♦ Do not use excessive force on the switch faucet. Even a traditional faucet does not require a lot of effort to screw it. In particular, do not use the handle as a handrail to support or use it. Many people are used to deliberately tightening the faucet after using the faucet. This is not desirable. Not only will it not prevent water leakage, but it will cause damage to the sealing valve, resulting in a weak faucet.

♦ The water flow becomes smaller to clear impurities. In the case where the water pressure is not less than 0.02 mpa, if the amount of water is found to be reduced, it may be blocked inside the faucet. The solution is to use a wrench to gently unscrew the nozzle screen cover at the water outlet of the faucet, and then carefully clean the impurities and then carefully install them.

The water flow rate of the faucet becomes smaller. It is recommended to clean the faucet filter regularly.

admin — Tue, 06 Aug 2019 12:05:33 +0000

★Every time you wash the dishes, it feels unclean and the time spent is also increased. Moreover, the summer temperature is high, the frequency of water is also increased a lot, the water flow rate is so small, and the water is used to feel Very inconvenient.

★This may be because the drain is blocked. There is a filter head at the water outlet of the faucet. Once blocked, the water flow rate will be reduced. At this point, use the adjustable wrench or pliers to remove the filter head to see if any debris is stuck here. After the cleaning is completed, the water flow rate will increase, and the filter head will be cleaned to ensure clean water.

★The filter is also a bubbler that allows the faucet to level out, prevent splashing, and also filter some impurities in the tap water. However, the filter mesh is relatively dense. If it is not cleaned up in time, too much impurities will block the water flow rate, which will not only reduce the amount of water, but also cause bacteria to bring health problems. Therefore, the filter should be removed at regular intervals to rinse off the impurities.
If you encounter a situation where the amount of water is getting smaller and you can eliminate the cause of insufficient water pressure, then check if the filter is blocked by impurities. This is the simplest self-examination method.

★The smaller the water flow rate may be due to the aging of the tap water valve, which causes the valve to not turn to the position when the switch is turned on, and the water flow rate will naturally become smaller. In this case, the tap water valve must be replaced.

★Finally, some people’s home water pipes have been modified. If the construction is not in place, the water pipe connection may be narrowed, resulting in a smaller water flow rate from the faucet.

What is the difference between the installation of ordinary faucets and hot and cold water taps?

admin — Mon, 05 Aug 2019 08:56:02 +0000

General faucet installation method

When installing the ordinary faucet, we first need to take out the faucet fixing base, and rotate the nut from the threaded pipe. After the hose connecting the faucet and the water pipe is put on the stainless steel faucet fittings such as the threaded pipe and the silicone pad, it will be equipped with soft. The tube passes through objects that need to be installed, such as sinks, basins, and the like. At this point, it should be noted that the silicone pad that has been worn on the hose is installed on both sides of the sink, the basin, etc., and finally tightened to ensure that the base faucet is more stable. Then screw the small end of the hose into the water inlet of the faucet until it stops, no need to use other tools. After that, screw the nut tube into the lower side of the faucet, and the silicone pad on the upper side of the sink, basin, etc. can be removed and placed on the underside of the faucet. Finally, the faucet is fixed by fixing the faucet with a nut and screwing the nut.

Hot and cold water tap installation method

When installing the hot and cold water faucet, first arrange all the accessories, and make sure that the instruction manual is correct. We take the installation method of the hot-hot faucet as an example to introduce the specific installation steps. In the first step, the two inlet pipes of the cold water pipe and the hot water pipe are respectively connected to the corresponding water inlets of the hot and cold water faucet horses, and then after the connection is completed, the fixing columns of the hot and cold water faucets are put into the two water inlet pipes to ensure the corresponding cold. The heat is correct. After these operations are completed, the assembled hot and cold water taps need to be installed on objects such as sinks, washbasins, etc., and an inlet pipe is placed in an opening of the washbasin or the like. Finally, the horseshoe pieces of the faucet are fixed and the screw nut is tightened.

The above is the specific installation method of the ordinary faucet and the hot and cold water faucet. The installation of the faucet is different according to its function and installation orientation. After reading the above introduction, did you have a better understanding of the faucet installation?
