The automatic induction faucet works by the principle of infrared reflection. When the human hand is placed in the infrared area of the faucet, the infrared light emitted by the infrared transmitting tube is reflected to the infrared receiving tube due to the block of the human hand. The signal processed by the microcomputer in the integrated circuit is sent to the pulse solenoid valve, and the solenoid valve receives the signal. After that, the valve core is opened according to the specified instruction to control the tap water. When the human hand leaves the infrared sensing range, the solenoid valve does not receive the signal, and the solenoid valve core is reset by the internal spring to control the tap to close.

What are the functions of touchless faucet?

1. Intelligent water-saving: automatic induction control on and off, the hand or water container, washing items reach into the sensing range, the faucet will automatically emit water, and the water will stop after leaving, the water-saving function is significant.

2. Overtime protection: 30 seconds overtime washing automatic water off function to avoid waste of water due to foreign objects in the sensing range for a long time.

3. Convenient and hygienic: Water switching is completely done automatically by the sensor, and the human hand does not need to touch the faucet, which effectively avoids cross infection of bacteria.

4. Intelligent power saving: The induction faucet uses modern digital technology and ultra-low energy consumption (DC products use 4 AA alkaline batteries, and the static current is ≤60μA).

5. Strong adaptability: the sensitivity (range) can be adjusted according to different use environments.

6. Production process: brass precision casting, chrome-plated surface, permanent gloss; streamlined design, strong modern sense.

7. Built-in filter to prevent impurities from flowing into the solenoid valve, will not affect normal work and easy to clean.

8. Weak current reminder: DC products have a battery replacement prompt function. When the battery power is low, the indicator light is always on, prompting to replace the battery in time.

9. Applicable places: hotels, guesthouses, office buildings, airports, medical institutions and other public places.

Notes on the use of Touchless faucet

1. Wipe the surface of the product with a clean, soft cloth.

2. Avoid the use of highly acidic and alkaline chemicals.

3. Eliminate the use of wire or nylon balls to wipe electroplated and plastic parts.

4. Avoid scratching or scratching the surface of the product with hard materials.

5. Regularly clean the filter to prevent clogging.

1. Most of the built-in valve cores of faucets use steel ball valves and ceramic valves. The steel ball valve has a solid and durable steel ball and strong pressure resistance, but the disadvantage is that the rubber ring that serves as a seal is easy to wear and will quickly age. The ceramic valve itself has good sealing performance, and the faucet using the ceramic valve core is more comfortable and smooth from the feel, can reach a high number of resistance to opening, and opens and closes quickly, which solves running, dripping, dripping, etc. , Leakage issues.

2. The traditional old-fashioned faucet and water pipe are easy to rust and will pollute the water quality. The yellow water stored in the pipe needs to be drained when used in the morning. Stainless steel, copper faucets and water pipes will not rust. In addition, copper faucets also have sterilizing and disinfecting effects, and are a health product.

3. When the hand reaches below the faucet, the faucet will automatically open, and when the hand is left, the faucet will automatically close. This is a fully automatic water-saving faucet. But not all automatic faucets have a water-saving function. Some faucets have a slow response because the quality is not close. When the hand is near the faucet, the water is released slowly. After the hand leaves the faucet, it closes slowly, which wastes a lot of water. Therefore, it is best to test this faucet on-site and strictly check it.

4. If you pay attention to observation, you will find that the water flow of the high-end faucet is soft and comfortable, and it will not splash around. The faucet of these faucets is equipped with a bubbler, which can fully mix the flowing water and air, so that the water flow has a foaming effect. With the addition of air, the scouring force of the water is greatly improved, thereby effectively reducing Water consumption.

There are two types of bathtub faucets. One is a shower-type faucet. This type is installed above the shower room and generally has a cold and hot mixing control function. According to the form, it is divided into a wall-mounted shower and a hose shower. The basic type for household use is the hose type shower, so that you can hold it in your hand at any time. The public bathrooms are selected according to the situation. Most of them choose in-wall showers to protect the faucets more. Some high-end shower faucets also have a thermostatic control function.

The other is a bathtub faucet, which is installed on one side of the bathtub. There will also be hot and cold mixing control switches. Most of the materials are ceramic valve cores. The valve body of the faucet is generally brass, which can prevent leakage and wear.

What is the height of the bathtub faucet?

The proper height of the bathtub faucet is directly related to the user’s convenience and comfort experience. The bathtub is divided into a free-standing bathtub and a counter-top bathtub according to the installation. When the free-standing bathtub is placed against the wall, it can be equipped with a concealed bathtub mixer. When standing alone, it is usually equipped with a floor-standing bathtub faucet. The width of the cylinder base of the bathtub on the table is 90mm, the bottom of the bathtub is 10mm, the height of the bathtub is 55mm, and the installation height of the bathtub faucet is 750-850mm (concealed type). This will ensure a comfortable experience when bathing.

The mixing valve depends on the height of the bathtub. It is better to be 20-30cm higher than the bathtub. If it is too high, it will easily splash water. If it is too low, the hose will be affected. The height of the bathtub is generally 60cm, so the height of the wall-mounted faucet is 80-90cm.

How to install bathtub faucet?

The installation method of the bathtub faucet is not difficult. Generally, after purchasing the faucet, if you want to install the faucet in the wall, install the valve plug of the faucet in the wall first. Pay attention to the thickness of the bathroom wall. If the wall is too thin, do not install the wall. in. Do not remove the outer protective cover when it is buried in the wall, so as to avoid damage to the valve core by cement and other debris. Pay attention to the direction of the valve core when installing the valve core, and do not reverse it.

In addition, pay attention to separate hot and cold water into the water pipe when installing, do not reverse.

Faucet cleaning is not complicated, as long as you keep it constantly, you can make the faucet last as long as new.

1. If it is a copper faucet, if you want to clean the electroplated surface, you can scrub it with boiling water and detergent, or you can directly use some strong detergent to remove oil and dirt.

2. The scale and rust on the faucet, just use a damp cloth or sponge dipped in a special cleaner to wipe the surface, and then wipe with a clean rag or rinse with water.

3. Dip toothpaste with a soft-bristled toothbrush or lightly wipe with toothpaste with a white cloth to remove scale and oil, and make the surface of the faucet clean and bright.

4. Many people only notice the surface of the faucet when cleaning it, but the inside of the faucet is more important. If the water output from the faucet is reduced or the water fork is generated, it may be caused by the bubbler clogging. Remove the bubbler, soak it in vinegar, clean the debris with a small brush or other tool, and then reinstall it.

Second, the faucet cleaning matters needing attention:

Although the chrome plating of the faucet claims to be corrosion-resistant and not rusty, incorrect cleaning methods can still cause abnormal wear on the faucet.

1. Do not wipe the surface of the faucet with a hard object such as a steel ball, because the steel wire is very hard and it is easy to scratch the surface of the faucet.

2. It is best to use a neutral detergent for cleaning. Strong acid and alkaline cleaners are not suitable for cleaning with a water tap.

3. After the faucet is cleaned, the remaining moisture on the surface should be dried with a dry lint-free towel to avoid remaining water stains.

Third, the use of faucet maintenance skills

1. Do not switch the faucet too hard, just turn it gently. Even traditional faucets don’t need a lot of effort to twist. In particular, do not use the handle as an armrest to support or use it.

2. The metal hose of the shower head of the bathtub faucet should be kept in a natural stretched state. Do not coil it around the faucet when not in use. At the same time, when using or not in use, pay attention not to form a dead angle at the joint between the hose and the valve body, so as not to break or damage the hose.

3. If the water pressure is not less than 0.02mpa (that is, 0.2kgf / cm2), after using for a period of time, if you find that the amount of water output decreases, or even the water heater is turned off, you can use Unscrew the filter lightly to remove impurities, and generally recover as before.

4. Have experienced and qualified professionals for construction and installation. When installing, the faucet should try not to hit hard objects, and do not leave cement, glue, etc. on the surface, so as not to damage the surface coating gloss. Pay attention to remove the debris in the pipe before installing the faucet.

1. Observe the finish of faucet. The surface of high-quality all-copper faucet will have exquisite craftsmanship, and generally need to be polished and electroplated, so the surface looks more shiny and shiny. When buying, you can check the quality of the surface plating process under sufficient light If it looks bright like a mirror, it indicates that the surface process is good. If its surface does not look bright, or there are etch marks, oxidation spots, etc., it is recommended not to buy it, because its plating finish is not guaranteed.

2.Observe the cross-section interface. Many copper faucets on the market are often copper-plated on the surface, and the internal material is not copper. Therefore, you must pay more attention when buying, and carefully observe whether the cross-section interface of the faucet is made of copper.

3.Feel with your hands. In order to ensure that the selected faucet is made of copper, it is recommended to touch the surface of the faucet as much as possible during the purchase process. After the copper material is electroplated, the product feels texture by hand, and its surface resistance is large. When the surface is relatively smooth to the touch, it means that it is not a copper material.

4.Check the accessories. When choosing a full copper faucet, you also need to check the accessories. Good accessories are generally made of copper. Although the surface of other materials is over-plated, its color will fade to yellow during use, which will affect the use. It also affects aesthetics.

5.The above are some of the main points of buying all copper faucets, we need to carefully remember. High-quality copper faucets are generally more expensive, and those cheap copper faucets are usually copper-plated. They are prone to various problems when used for a long time, so it is not recommended to buy.

2. Energy saving and power saving. Because the instant electric hot water faucet does not need to be preheated in advance, there is no heat energy loss during preheating. It is turned off when not in use. The energy consumption of water truly saves energy and electricity. Generally speaking, instant electric water heaters save 30% -50% of electricity compared to traditional electric water heaters.

3. Safety and environmental protection. Hydroelectric isolation technology, power on when water passes, power off when water cuts off, ground protection, and other measures. Patented circuit, magnetized anti-scale, over temperature power off, safe and reliable!

4. The water temperature is constant and comfortable to use. As long as the water temperature is adjusted at the beginning, the temperature will be constant.

5. Small size, noble appearance, easy installation and space saving. Because the instant electric hot water faucet does not need to be preheated in advance, the design does not require a large and bulky inner tank water storage tank and insulation layer. Most of them are small in size, light in weight, and easy to install, saving space and materials. In addition, high-end products in instant electric hot water faucets mostly adopt humanized design, streamlined appearance, noble and elegant, and are welcomed by fashionable people.

6, not easy to scale, longer life. Instant hot water faucet cold water is heated directly after passing through the heating body. It belongs to “living water”, scale is not easy to stay, and hot water temperature is generally not higher than 65C. Therefore, scale is not easy to form in the internal pipeline of the water heater. In addition, the temperature of the heating body of the instant electric hot water faucet during the heating process is not very high, so the damage probability of the waterway and the heating body is correspondingly reduced, so the service life of the instant electric water heater is longer than that of the traditional electric water heater. , Generally 2-3 times that of traditional electric water heaters.

2. The smaller the flow, the more water-saving
The faucet flow has a water-saving standard. Too large or too small a flow is not conducive to water conservation. Sometimes the flow of the faucet is too small, there may be a problem with the faucet valve, or the slag is blocked, it should be cleaned or replaced in time.

3. The bubbler faucet saves water in any situation
The role of the starter is mainly to increase the number of air bubbles in the water and reduce the amount of water outflow;

4. The faucet has hot and cold temperature adjustment
The hot and cold temperature adjustment function of the faucet must be equipped with two hot and cold water inlet hoses and a ceramic valve core.

5. Choose the faucet without considering the basin
Many consumers did not notice the height of the basin after installing the basin. The faucet needs to be installed on the basin. The actual situation of the basin must be considered when purchasing.

6. No angle valve is required for faucet and water pipe connection
All hot and cold faucets must use angle valves to connect with water pipes. Each hot and cold faucet needs two angle valves to match it.

Precautions for faucet purchase
1. Look at the surface: Pay attention to the gloss of the surface. When you touch the faucet with hand, there are no burrs, no pores, and no oxidation spots. The smoother the surface, the better the quality;

2. Turn the handle: When the faucet rotates the handle, there is no excessive gap between the faucet and the switch, and it is easy to open and close without slipping;

3. Listen to the sound: The good faucet is cast copper as a whole, and the sound is dull when beaten; if the sound is very brittle, it must be stainless steel;

4. Identification mark: Identification of product mark. Generally regular products have the brand logo of the manufacturer in order to identify and prevent counterfeiting;

5. Checking parts: The valve body and handle of a good faucet are all made of grade brass, with a heavy weight and texture.

[2] and so on. In the scene, the water column of the faucet without the bubbler is scattered, it is not easy to contact with the hand or the contact surface is small, and the water is too large to cause waste; the bubbler with a touch switch (solid) can quickly block the water flow to further save water (45 %)

[3]; The bubbler with adjustable water flow can forcibly limit the amount of water and save water (35 ~ 85%)

Prevent splashing, the water column after buffering is even, and the water column reduces the splash vertically;
Hygienic, multi-layer filter can filter most of the sediment and impurities, and the bubbler with touch switch reduces contact with the faucet;
Constant water flow / water output, with pressure compensation or current limiting device (common in showers), can guarantee a certain water output when the water pressure is too low, limit the water output when the water pressure is too high, and stabilize the output when the water pressure is unstable Water volume

Working principle of faucet bubbler:
1. The bubbler is a device installed at the water outlet of the water nozzle to mix (increase) air when the water is discharged. The hand feels more comfortable when washing your hands, but it is inferred from this-“It can fully mix the flowing water and air, reduce the pressure of the effluent, and increase the scouring force of the water, thereby effectively reducing the use of water the amount”. It is really irresponsible, and extremely irresponsible (I hope that the experts who put forward this point of view did not make it clear or were simply misunderstood by us).
From the perspective of the principle of fluid continuity, the bubbler essentially reduces the spray speed of tap water, weakens the impact force, and reduces the impulse (experts also acknowledge that the water pressure of the outlet water is reduced).

The essence of decontamination and washing is force. Water is only a material carrier for transmitting force. The only way to improve the efficiency of water use is to strengthen and increase the water impulse and particle impact force. The bubbler can only slow the water flow rate and reduce Tap water has large impulse and particle impact force. Therefore, after installing the bubbler, it is impossible to save water (you can experiment and compare whether you need more water and draw your own conclusions).

2. The faucet bubbler is to change the “pipe flow” of the water to “line flow” at the outlet of the faucet, and then change the “line flow” to “jet flow” by the pressure of air, and then pass the “water separation” Beat well with water to make it soft. The pressurization through the air powers the water and reduces the flow of water without affecting the use. It can reduce water charges, reduce energy consumption, and reduce sewage discharge.

The water-saving nozzle can effectively prevent the accumulation of dirt, eliminate the possibility of bacterial breeding, and effectively protect human health while saving water, saving energy and protecting the environment.

Nickel metal has a strong passivation ability, which can quickly form a very thin passivation film on the surface of the faucet, which can resist the corrosion of water vapor and some acids, so the nickel layer has high stability in a humid environment. The faucet can obtain a very fine crystalline coating in a simple salt electrolyte of nickel. It has good polishing performance and can emit a mirror-like gloss after polishing. Depending on the nature of nickel, it is suitable for use as a base, intermediate and surface layer for protective and decorative coatings.
Process characteristics: acid and alkali resistance, high stability, surface gloss like mirror.
Matching suggestions: It is also a versatile model, which is equivalent to a chrome-plated faucet.

Titanium is usually added with titanium and aluminum or elements such as aluminum and vanadium to become titanium-plated gold. Electroplated titanium has the advantages of strong height, low density, excellent mechanical properties, toughness and corrosion resistance. The surface of the titanium-plated faucet is as smooth as a mirror, its golden luster is like natural brass, and it is reminiscent of gold. However, the titanium plating process is complicated, and impurities are easily absorbed during hot processing, so the yield is lower and the cost is higher.

Process characteristics: good toughness and anti-corrosion, color like gold, looks noble and beautiful, and higher price. Matching suggestions: According to the specific shape, the titanium-plated faucet is suitable for two-level bathrooms, the simple shape is suitable for European-style bathrooms, and the animal shape is suitable for Southeast Asian families.

2. Durable, whether the faucet is durable, the surface treatment process is very important. A good faucet is subjected to an acidic high temperature test and is intact for more than 4 hours. In addition, due to the reasonable internal structure, the good faucet is not prone to dripping and damage, and has withstood hundreds of thousands. It can still be operated freely after the second switch.

3. Humanization. With the continuous improvement of the production technology of kitchen faucets, product design has become more and more humane. To meet the various needs of large kitchen spaces, habitual direct cleaning with water, like spraying methods, enjoy the fun of innovation, etc., there are also 360-degree rotation, pull-out spray nozzles, direct flush / spray nozzle conversion, and more flexible shapes. Changing product.

4. It is easy to clean. The kitchen is heavy and wet with oil. When you work, you still use the hand with oil stains and dirt to open the faucet and soil the faucet. Therefore, it is best to choose a product that is not stained and easy to scrub. This has a lot to do with the shape and plating of the faucet. Generally, faucets with complicated shapes and variable lines are easy to clean up dead ends. Faucets with thin coatings and low hardness are prone to blackening and are not cleaned. I personally think that people still use products with simple shapes and hard coatings, which can save a lot of things.

5. Confirm with the dealer whether the imported ceramic raft core is installed in the brand faucet. After looking at its appearance, pay attention to the surface finish. Touch it for burrs, trachoma, cracks, oxidized spots, etc .; then gently move the handle of the faucet up and down, left and right. You can buy it without heavy feel;

Five shopping tips:

First, identify the brand, find the brand with after-sales service
Consumers should go to formal fashion when buying faucets, and look for well-known brands, so that they can get more perfect after-sales protection. Informal products often do not have any marks or just some paper labels. The regular faucet packaging box should also be With brand identity, quality assurance and after-sales service. Remind everyone to be cautious when buying and not to listen to others.

Second, observe the appearance, the surface coating of the faucet should be as bright as a mirror
After the faucet is ground and polished, in order to prevent the faucet from being oxidized, its surface will be plated with nickel or chromium. Nickel or chromium has the function of resisting neutral hydrochloric acid and protects the faucet from corrosion for a long time. When buying, it is best to place the faucet in a place with sufficient light for inspection. The surface of the faucet is free of oxidation spots, pores, missing plating and bubbles, and scorch marks. It is a good product with uniform color and no burrs and sand. That is, after pressing the faucet with your fingers, the fingerprint spreads quickly and there are no marks, and it is not easy to attach dirt.

Third, quality inspection, quality is more guaranteed
The faucet body is generally brass. The quality of electroplating made of brass products can ensure the highest quality. The higher the purity of brass, the better the electroplating quality, and the less likely the surface plating layer will be corroded. In order to reduce costs, some manufacturers choose zinc alloy instead of brass. Although the country allows the use of zinc alloy materials instead of brass, the quality of zinc alloy plating is poor and the corrosion resistance is not strong. Generally speaking, consumers can use the estimated weight method to identify when buying. Brass is heavier and harder, and zinc alloy is lighter and softer.

Fourth, rotate the handle, and feel that the lightweight spool is good
Faucet spools are usually steel ball spools and ceramic spools. The steel ball valve core has good pressure resistance, but the rubber sealing ring that serves as a seal is easy to wear and ages quickly. The ceramic valve core is more heat-resistant and wear-resistant, and has good sealing performance, so the resistance to opening will be more. No dripping
