Types of mixers
The modern market will offer the buyer a large selection of different sink faucets , both in design and construction. The convenience of use, as well as water consumption, will depend on how correct the choice is. So on sale you can find: two-valve mixers; single lever; electronic. There are further divisions within each group, but it is important to understand the principle here.
The first are simple and reliable devices with a virtually unlimited service life. Their distinctive feature is two separate taps for shutting off the flow of liquid, one for cold water, the other for hot. The second allow you to regulate the flow of liquid with one lever – they are more convenient, beautiful, but less reliable. The third is still a fairly exotic product, but available for sale. They are expensive, but have the widest functionality. Their main advantage is electronic control.
Choosing a Sink Mixer
The choice of a mixer should be based not only on its appearance, but also on its functionality. In order for the sink mixer to serve for a long time and be as convenient as possible, you need to consider the following details: take into account the depth of the sink – the deeper it is, the higher the mixer tap can be, which means you can place taller dishes under it;
When choosing a two-valve mixer with a ceramic seal, know that it is more convenient, but the gaskets in it cannot be replaced; If you choose a single-lever model, be aware that it is extremely sensitive to solid impurities contained in water and to abrasives, which means it can only be used in conjunction with a filter; Having chosen an electronic mixer for its functionality, know that its main advantage is also a disadvantage – in case of a breakdown, you will have to look for a master who understands not only plumbing, but is also a qualified electronics specialist.
