When it comes to faucets, every household must use them every day. Many people think that such a small thing is easy to install and replace, and does not require too much effort. But for many years, your faucet has never been used correctly, and the meaningless wear and tear of lifespan is just that. You have no understanding of the function of faucets.

Install at least three types of faucets in different spaces

Most families do not differentiate between space and usage needs, and only buy many faucets of the same type to install, which is not scientific. According to their functions, home decoration faucets should be equipped with at least three types: single cooling, heating and cooling, and bubbling.

Hot and cold faucets cannot be directly connected to one water pipe

Many people think that it is not a problem to buy a cold and hot faucet at home but only connect one inlet hose. However, in fact, the ceramic valve core is a three port interconnected structure, and the water from two inlet hoses needs to be mixed before flowing out from the faucet outlet. As long as one water pipe is used, the cold and hot faucet cannot be used. Many people do not know why they think that the quality of the cold and hot control is poor, which may even lead to the trouble of "water overflowing the mountains of gold".

The cold and hot faucet uses a ceramic valve core with different opening points to control the mixing ratio of cold and hot water, and then completes the function of water temperature regulation. Assuming that you only have one cold water pipe at home but have purchased one cold and hot faucet, it is recommended to connect two inlet hoses together, then connect one to the corner valve, and use a screw plug to block the other.

The connection between the faucet and the water pipe must have an angle valve

Many people know to install faucets, but they don't know to install corner valves. The outlet and inlet of the angle valve form a 90 degree right angle, which can connect the inner wall water pipe with the faucet hose and control the water flow switch.

Any hot or cold faucet (with a hot or cold water inlet hose) must use an angle valve to connect with the water pipe, while quick opening faucets such as washing machine faucets and mop pool faucets can directly connect with the water pipe, so there is no need for an angle valve.

Generally speaking, each hot and cold faucet requires two corner valves to be coordinated with each other. If the faucet leaks, simply close the corner valve, which will not affect the water use in other local areas of the home.

The appearance and interior of the faucet should be cleaned regularly

How long has it been since the faucet at home was cleaned?

Although we use faucets almost every day, few people pay attention to the cleaning of the exterior and even the interior of the faucet.

After installing the faucet, it is recommended to clean the stains and fingerprints on its surface every other month, rinse the surface with clean water, and dry it with a soft cloth; The brightness maintenance of the appearance can be cleaned with car wax once a month.

The cleaning of the exterior is for beauty, while the cleaning of the interior is the main factor affecting the lifespan. If the faucet shows a decrease in water volume or a split in water output, it indicates that the bubbler of the faucet is blocked. At this time, the bubbler should be removed, soaked in vinegar, cleaned with a small brush or other things, and then reinstalled.
