The 6 misunderstandings of faucet

Most families do not need space and use requirements, only bought a lot of the same kind of faucet to install the house, this is actually unscientific, a family can be installed at least three types of single cold, cold and warm, foaming faucet.

1, at least three, different space to install the faucet

According to the purpose of the faucet, it can be divided into a basin, a kitchen basin, a bathtub, a washing machine and a mop pool faucet, etc., and in terms of function and structure, it can be divided into a single-cooled ordinary faucet, a sensor faucet, a heating and cooling faucet. Water-saving faucets with bubblers, etc., basins, kitchen sinks, bathtub faucets generally use cold and warm type and bubbler type, washing machine and mop pool faucet can be single-cooled, balcony and other places are generally not recommended Buy a faucet with a bubbler, which can speed up the washing and dragging, and increase the scouring ability, but it also has a certain water saving effect.

2, hot and cold water taps can not be directly a water pipe
The hot and cold water faucet uses the different opening angles of the ceramic valve core to control the mixing ratio of the hot and cold water to achieve the water temperature adjustment function. If your home does have only one cold water pipe and buys a hot and cold faucet, it is recommended that you can pick it up at the same time. The upper two inlet hoses, then one is connected to the angle valve, and the other is blocked with a wire plug.

3, the faucet and water pipe link must have an angle valve
Any hot and cold faucet (with hot and cold water inlet hose) must use the angle valve to connect with the water pipe, and the faucet like the washing machine faucet, the mop pool faucet, etc. can be directly connected with the water pipe, so no angle valve is needed. Generally speaking, each hot and cold faucet needs two angle valves to match each other. In case of leakage of the faucet, it is only necessary to close the angle valve, which will not affect the water in other places in the home.

4. The appearance and interior of the water dragon should be cleaned regularly.
After installing the faucet, the smudge fingerprint on the surface is recommended to be cleaned once every other month. Use a clean water to wash the surface layer with a soft cloth to dry it; and the appearance of the brightness maintenance can be washed once a month with the car wax. The cleaning of the surface is for aesthetics, and internal cleaning is the most important factor affecting the service life.

In addition, if the faucet has a reduced water volume or a water fork, it means that the faucet’s bubbler is clogged. At this time, the bubbler should be removed, soaked in vinegar, and cleaned with a small brush or other tools. Then reinstall it.
Most people are accustomed to use the faucet in the morning and use it directly. However, in general, before using the faucet the next day, the water accumulated in the faucet should be discharged first and then used.

5, the tap can not be used immediately
The water in the long-term retention faucet will cause the lead protective film to fall off, and the lead element will precipitate after being dissolved in water. In particular, traditional faucets and water pipes are more likely to rust and pollute the water, so it is necessary to first drain the yellow water stored in the pipe when using it early. 

6, Regular replacement of the faucet
For brand faucet products with good reputation, it can be changed in five years. If it is a faucet product with relatively small or no brand guarantee, it is recommended to change it every year. As for non-drinking faucets such as laundry, it can be used for a long time. It doesn’t matter at all, it has to be changed in 6-7 years.

Drinking water and water can be said to control the lifeblood of our daily life. If you want to protect your water health in your daily life, you should pay more attention to the details of the installation and use of the faucet, and fundamentally avoid the source of harm.
