There are many kinds of faucet materials on the market. The choice of faucet is a problem that many consumers struggle with. The following is an introduction to various faucet materials and their advantages and disadvantages. People who understand better will hesitate less when choosing.

The general faucet valve body is cast from bronze. The bronze content is roughly 54%-62%. And the copper content of some high-quality faucets can reach 85%. Besides copper, there are other metal contents. If the content of lead is too high, it will be harmful to human health. The quality of copper faucets varies greatly. As the material is mainly copper, it has a certain lead content. Stainless steel is a better leading material, but casting is more complicated at present. Some manufacturers use 201 stainless steel to fake 304 stainless steel. They use welding instead of die casting to deceive consumers. Therefore, we must pay more attention to products with ultra-low prices.

When the lead content of the faucet is high, the lead content of the water flowing through the faucet will be high. When the human body ingests too much lead, the nervous system will be damaged. It has a great influence on children's intelligence. For the sake of personal health, I hope everyone can buy qualified faucets in guaranteed shopping malls. The material of the faucet has a great influence on the water quality. If consumers often drink water of poor quality, their bodies will be damaged. When it is not convenient to detect water quality, consumers should ensure the safety of pipelines through which water passes. The faucet is a necessary pass for water to reach every household. Consumers should first consider its material safety.

It is suggested that everyone should drain the water in the faucet when getting up every morning to avoid excessive lead intake. Zinc alloy faucet is harmful to human body and is not durable. Its shell cannot withstand the impact of water. And it is easy to corrode and fracture. The surface of zinc alloy is white after grinding. When buying in a physical store, you can grind it deeper in an inconspicuous place of the faucet. At present, zinc alloy is made by sand-casting process and machine die-casting. The inside of the machine is smooth after die-casting. The inside of copper is rough. At present, zinc alloy can be used to make faucet handles and some bathroom hardware pendants. Zinc alloy cannot be judged by weight and appearance. Many manufacturers have increased the weight of zinc alloy faucets. Now the zinc alloy electroplating process has become mature. At present, copper and stainless-steel faucets are generally used. In terms of performance, copper and stainless-steel faucets have good wear resistance. And they are not easy to rust. From a safety point of view, copper faucets can eliminate bacteria in water. It is a good advantage over faucets made of other materials. It is suggested that stainless steel faucet can be selected. No matter how long the stainless-steel faucet is used, the surface will not rust and will not deform. If you pay more attention to the sterilization effect of copper faucets, you can choose copper faucets. Faucets made of various materials have their advantages and disadvantages.

Another important point is not to judge the material by weight. Many people have a great misunderstanding in this respect. They believe that the heavier the metal faucet, the better the material. In fact, faucets made of different materials can be processed to have the same weight. It is necessary to judge according to professional methods.

These are the advantages and disadvantages of faucets made of various materials. I hope everyone can choose the faucet that best meets their needs.
