Check The Mistakes in The Use Of Faucets

Myth 1: install the same kind of faucet in different functional areas

There are many kinds of faucets. According to different functional areas, faucets mainly include basin faucet, bathtub faucet, washing machine faucet and sink faucet; The structure and function of faucets in different functional areas are also different. The faucets of washbasin, sink and bathtub generally use cold and warm type and bubbler. The faucet of washing machine only needs single cooling type, because the water flow scouring speed of single cooling faucet is fast, which can play a certain water-saving effect.

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

Generally, the mixing ratio of hot and cold water is controlled by the different opening angles on both sides of the ceramic valve core; If there is only cold water pipe, when installing cold and hot faucets, two water inlet hoses can be connected, and then the angle valve can also play the same role.

Myth 3: angle valve is not used for faucet and water pipe connection

All hot and cold faucets at home must use angle valves when connected with water pipes, in order to prevent faucet leakage from affecting water use in other parts of the family; However, the faucet of the washing machine does not need hot water, so it can be directly connected with the water pipe.

Myth 4: the faucet is not cleaned regularly

Many families never pay attention to its cleaning and maintenance after installing the faucet. For a long time, the faucet not only makes the water quality not guaranteed, but also has various faults, which affects the use. In fact, the correct way is to clean it every other month after installing the faucet; Just wipe the stains and water stains on the surface with a clean cloth; However, if scale is accumulated inside the faucet, you need to soak it in white vinegar in the faucet pipe for a while, and then open the hot water valve to drain the water.

Myth 5: the faucet is not replaced regularly

Generally speaking, the faucet can be replaced after five years of use, because long-term use will accumulate a lot of bacteria and dirt inside the faucet, causing harm to people's body. Xiaobian's suggestion: replace the faucet once every five years.
