The faucet is an indispensable thing in a modern kitchen or bathroom. His choice is complicated by the widest assortment on store shelves. How to choose the best mixer? Cheap installations made from waste material of production give water during operation a lot of harmful chemical compounds that are hazardous to health, so the mixer can be budgetary, but more expensive than 1500 - 2000 rubles. The weight of the faucet and faucet can tell you what quality the buyer is holding in his hands, light models should alert a person when buying. We will discuss these and other nuances of choosing a mixer, as well as the best WasserKRAFT models below.

What mixers are

There are several types of mixers regarding functional use, internal and external device.

Mixers with a cast base made of non-ferrous metals have proven themselves well in terms of long-term service.

Models of classic mixers have two valves for supplying hot or cold water, such are commonly called double-lever. The principle of operation is quite simple, two pipes are supplied to the tap, through which hot and cold water is supplied, which is reached at the desired temperature when mixed.

Single-lever installations in their device have a cartridge that, moving in the right direction, controls the level of water supply and temperature.

The installations for the bathroom and the kitchen are fundamentally different, since in the kitchen the operation is always more intensive and the mobility of the tap is necessary for the convenience of tying into containers of different heights, however, the height of the tap and the bend must be optimal in order to avoid splashing water at high pressure.

Bathroom faucets can be installed from the floor or mounted into the wall, such methods of organizing the supply of tap water add sophistication and novelty to the interior, but from the point of view of practicality, they are not profitable, since the internal bases of faucets of different brands may differ, it becomes difficult to replace the faucet if it breaks.

Outdoor vertical faucets are cheaper than floor and flush-mounted designs, but high-quality brands that serve without breakdowns for several years in a row always cost more.

Why choose a WasserKRAFT faucet

Compositions for the bathroom and kitchen of this manufacturer do not need special care and are famous for their quality, durability in operation. Contaminants are simply removed with a damp cloth or treated with soapy water and wiped dry.

The body of the faucet and the device for regulating the water supply is made of high quality material with a high percentage of copper and brass. The faucet body made of brass is today the most acceptable in terms of price and quality. This material is resistant to corrosion and rust.

Faucets are designed to work not only with cold water, but also with high temperatures. Therefore, the metal structures of the base, faucet and mixer hose must be resistant to heat without releasing substances harmful to humans. A hose from a mixer of this brand and a shower head can only be made using durable ABS plastic.

ABS plastic materials are successfully used in conditions of high humidity and temperature. Not highly sensitive to temperature changes.

WasserKRAFT faucets are made in the form of a cast body made of brass with copper, according to pre-designed blanks and technologies. Products undergo several stages of cleaning in a centrifuge from sand, under high pressure.

There is a mandatory application of a protective galvanic layer on the surface of the product. Nickel and chrome plating protects against fogging, gives the product a silver tint and a glossy sheen.

The color range of faucets can be diversified by a special technology that combines acrylic paint with nickel and chrome.The product undergoes heat treatment in an oven at a temperature of 180 degrees for an hour to fix the paint.

The bronze color from light to dark depends on the amount of metals that are used in the alloy process, as a result, the product is polished and varnished.

Everyone knows how unpleasant it is when a strong pressure from a faucet sprays when the water is turned on abruptly. In the manufacture of taps of this brand, Neoperl CASCADE sprayers are used, which prevent splashing around the sink and are resistant to limescale. Diffusers help conserve water and trap heavy metal particles in the water. The atomizer is quite durable, gives a uniform flow of water, which does not make much noise.

Mixer and aerator sprayer are easy to clean, washed with water.

The ceramic switches in WasserKRAFT faucets come in the form of a spinning disc that directs the flow of water by simply turning it up or down. There is a dial-button variant that requires pressing to switch. Practice shows that a rotating water switch from a faucet to a shower is more durable and easier to operate.

Wear-resistant Spanish-made cartridges at the base of the mixer are designed for twenty years of active operation. If you imagine how many times the whole family opens and closes the tap, it turns out that the design can withstand 500,000 manipulations. In case of erasing the cartridge, its replacement and further operation are provided.

Such strength is achieved by calcining aluminum oxide at a high temperature, up to 1200 degrees Celsius.Parts undergo ultrasonic treatment, due to which wear-resistant ceramics become resistant to hydraulic shocks.

German technology works in the interests of saving water, which has a beneficial effect on the environment and saves the owner's money, who has to pay a lot of water bills. On models of this brand, the switch knob is turned towards the inscription ECO - a function, in the process of supplying water, half the volume of hot and cold water is saved. The standard setting for the faucet is that hot water is turned on by turning the knob to the left, respectively, to turn on cold water, you need to turn the switch to the right.

These mixers are connected to any popular water filter. If filtered drinking water is needed, a person can get it by simply turning the switch. At the same time, to save the capacity of the filter system, you can use unfiltered tap water for domestic work.

Shower faucets are equipped with an articulated hose that is not susceptible to kinks when bent.

WasserKRAFT faucets have passed all degrees of conformity certificates in Russia and have all the necessary hygienic certificates. Products comply with European and Russian standards of strength, confirmed by mechanical and chemical resistance.
