Faucets, as the most frequently used water equipment in daily use, rust, drip, residual water stains brought by inferior faucets...
In fact, in our daily life, many precious water resources are "secretly" wasted, and water appliances such as taps are such a "major disaster area". Many substandard faucets, often closed at will, are still "secretly" to lose water resources, only when we pay the water bill, it is too late!
Today, let Xiaobian come to popularize science for you, a "convenient, beautiful and durable" faucet should have self-cultivation!
First, choose the faucet to see the material
Faucets made of copper alloy
Features: no rust, durable, anti-oxidation and bactericidal effect on water.
Disadvantages: Lead! It is best to choose a regular brand when buying to ensure that the lead content does not exceed the health standard of 5ug/L.
Stainless steel faucet
Features: high hardness, strong toughness, no rust, no lead, the faucet itself will not produce secondary pollution to the water source.
Disadvantages: It is difficult to manufacture and process, so the price is more expensive than other materials.
Suggestion: From the point of view of safety and health, the purchase of faucets is preferred by regular brands of stainless steel faucets. You can ask the business for the product certification issued by the national quality inspection department.
Second, choose what kind of faucet is the most water-saving?
These types are available for reference:
Foam type water saving appliance
The bubbling water-saving device allows the water flowing through to mix well with the air, so that the water has a foaming effect, which is why other people's faucets have "white bubbles". With the addition of air, the water is soft and comfortable like a mist, and you no longer have to worry about being "wet" by splashing water around. With the improvement of the scouring power of water, it can also effectively reduce water consumption and save water.
Shower water-saving appliance
The shower water-saving device uses the flow of water to generate negative pressure in the shower chamber. It inhales air through the spray panel and mixes with the water flow to form a light pulse feeling. The water droplets are larger and softer, and the water pressure feels as if it becomes higher and more stable. The air-rich effluent not only improves the scouring power of the water flow, but also reduces the water consumption.
Spray type water saver
Spray type water saver adopts direct pressure nozzle, water flow through the nozzle, resulting in high-speed water flow, high-speed water flow after encountering obstacles into small water droplets, close to the mist umbrella high-speed spray, increase the washing area, visual and feel the water is large and the actual flow is very small, washing powerful, decontamination capacity greatly increased, shorten the use of time, water consumption is greatly reduced.
