The basin mixer or the water tap is a kind of switch which is used for controlling the volume of the water. It plays a significant role in saving water. The basin mixer is basic equipment in people's daily life. It is mainly used in the kitchen, bathroom or anywhere you need to use the water in the house. So a great number of basin mixers are produced by the water tap manufacturer and sold by the bathroom taps supplier or the kitchen taps supplier to all over the world. How can we select the best water tap among the dazzling products? Here are some tips.
First of all, water taps have a wide range of looks; they can be different in the color of the material, the style or the shape. For example, the single hole basin faucet, the waterfall basin mixer or the pull out kitchen mixer are different from each other in appearance. Moreover, basin mixers with colorful looks or smoother lines of the shape which are different from the traditional round or bent shape of the grips appear in the recent market. When buying a water tap, apart from the factor that the appearance of the basin miser is suitable for your kitchen or bathroom, another factor we should take into consideration is whether the surface of the water tap is smooth.
What's more, when buying the water tap we need to check if the plating is fading or wearing off. Generally speaking, the water faucet is always chromed. But if it is not properly chromed, it will fade after a period of time. So when buying the water faucet we should carefully read the quality assurance, the shelf life of it should be not less than three years. And we should also make sure the surface of the plating has no oxidized spots.
Last but not least, the valve core is the most critical part which can affect the quality of the basin mixer. The valve core which is made of ceramics or stainless steel is better than the one made of other materials. The valve core made of ceramics appears in recent years; it is considered to have a good quality and appreciated by a lot of people. And the valve core made of the stainless steel also appears recently and it is suitable for the areas where the quality of the water is poor.
