After understanding the different materials of faucets, we also need to choose the faucet that is suitable for our home use. So, what aspects should we pay attention to when selecting?

1、Identify the brand

Owners should purchase faucets from reputable brand stores for better after-sales support. The packaging box for legitimate faucets should have brand logos and after-sales service.

2、Observe the appearance

After the faucet is ground and polished into shape, in order to prevent oxidation, a layer of material with anti neutral hydrochloric acid function such as nickel or chromium will be plated on its surface to protect the faucet from corrosion. When making a purchase, it is important to inspect the surface of the faucet to ensure that there are no spots, pores, or burnt marks, and that the color is uniform without burrs or sand particles.

3、Quality inspection

The main body of the faucet is usually made of brass. The higher the purity of brass, the better the electroplating quality. Some manufacturers choose zinc alloy instead of brass in order to reduce costs. Zinc alloy has poor electroplating quality and weak corrosion resistance. Owners can use the method of estimating weight for identification when making a purchase.

4、Rotating handle

The valve core of a faucet is usually a steel ball valve core or a ceramic valve core. The faucet with ceramic valve core has a more comfortable and smooth feel, and can be quickly opened and closed. When making a purchase, you can simply judge the quality of the valve core based on the feel when turning the handle.
