Choosing a regular faucet is not only about appearance, but also about quality; When choosing a high-quality faucet, pay attention to the following five methods and steps:;

1、 Look at the surface; The surface of faucets is generally treated with nickel plating and chromium plating. The plating process requirements for regular products are relatively high, with uniform surface gloss, no burrs, pores, oxidation spots, etc;

2、 Look at the texture; The main components of high-quality faucets, such as the shell, are generally cast from brass. The higher the purity of brass, the better the electroplating quality, and the less likely the surface electroplating layer is to corrode; Low quality products may be replaced with alloy materials and engineering plastics in some places to reduce costs, which will greatly reduce their service life and quality; It is recommended to choose faucets made of brass material as much as possible when purchasing; Brass has a high specific gravity, so you can estimate its weight when purchasing. Brass is heavy and can feel the presence of the center of gravity when held in your hand; Alloy materials have low density, feel soft, and have a uniform center of gravity; Engineering plastics float lightly in the hand; In addition, components that come into direct contact with drinking water are not allowed to use zinc alloy materials according to national standards;

3、 Listen to the sound; A good faucet should be made of integral cast brass, which makes a dull and low sound when struck; If the sound is crisp, it is usually made of stainless steel or alloy material, and the quality is one level lower;

4、 Touch the edges and corners of the seams; The edges of the high-quality faucet are rounded without burrs, sharp edges, etc; In addition, the joints between the main components are also very tight, without any looseness;

5、 Check the valve core accessories; The quality of the valve core is the key to the faucet. The high-quality faucet valve core technology is accurate, and when the handle swings to drive the valve core, it can feel neither loose nor tight, lightweight, and unobstructed.
