Faucet is a kitchen and bathroom product that we use every day, which is closely related to our daily life. It is precisely because we use it every day that we should master the skills when selecting and installing faucets, in order to make our days more worry free. Today, Heshan Baolong Hardware will take stock of the misconceptions in the use of faucets for us.

Misconception 1: Install the same type of faucet in different functional areas

There are various types of faucets, and according to different functional areas, faucets mainly include basin faucets, bathtub faucets, washing machine faucets, and sink faucets; The structure and function of faucets in different functional areas are also different. Faucets in basins, sinks, and bathtubs generally use two types: cold and warm and bubbling. For washing machines, only single cooling faucets are needed. Due to the fast water flow flushing speed of single cooling faucets, they can play a certain water-saving effect.

Misconception 2: The cold and hot water pipes of the faucet are not separated

In general, the mixing ratio of cold and hot water is controlled by the different perspectives of the openings on both ends of the ceramic valve core; If there is only a cold water pipe, then when installing a cold and hot water faucet, two inlet hoses can be connected and a corner valve can be installed to achieve the same effect.

Misconception 3: The connection between the faucet and the water pipe did not use an angle valve
                
Corner valves must be used when connecting all hot and cold faucets and water pipes in the home, with the intention of avoiding water leakage from the faucet and affecting water use in other parts of the household; But the faucet of the washing machine does not require hot water, so it can be directly connected to the water pipe.

Misconception 4: The faucet is not cleaned regularly

Many families have never paid attention to the cleaning and maintenance of faucets after installing them. Over time, faucets not only fail to ensure water quality, but also exhibit various malfunctions, which can affect their use. In fact, the correct approach is to clean the faucet every other month after installation; Just wipe off the dirt and water stains on the surface with a clean cloth; But if scale accumulates inside the faucet, you need to pour white vinegar into the faucet pipeline to soak for a while, then open the hot water valve to drain the water.

Misconception 5: The faucet is not replaced regularly

Generally speaking, a faucet can be considered for replacement after five years of use. Prolonged use can accumulate a lot of bacteria and dust inside the faucet, causing harm to the human body.
