Copper body: As far as the faucet is concerned, copper has already become the preferred material for the sake of the brilliance, mainly because the antibacterial effect of copper medium has long been tested and approved by authoritative laboratories. Most of the high-end sanitary ware brands use copper as the main body of the faucet, and the elimination of other materials has become an inevitable trend.
2, electroplating: the quality of the plating surface is the most intuitive performance of the quality of the faucet. The surface plating is mainly made of nickel and chromium, which makes it smooth and bright. Good quality faucets will undergo heavy tests, such as salt spray test, water test, gas test, etc., to ensure the durability of the faucet. After high-precision electroplating, the durability is basic, and more importantly, the surface gloss is good and feels comfortable. Some high-end faucet surfaces have other different treatment techniques, such as stainless steel surfaces and satin.
3. Filter: In areas where water quality is not superior, the installation of the filter can reduce and filter impurities while preventing damage to the ceramic valve core caused by impurities. There are two installation locations for the filter: at the water inlet and at the water outlet.
