You don't know yet? The faucet is the 'hidden killer' that endangers health!

As is well known, there are no small matters in decoration, and if you don't pay attention to small details, it will cause some trouble in the future. For example, if you don't pay attention to the kitchen and bathroom, it can cause problems such as water leakage and storage. As the most inconspicuous object in everyone's eyes, the dragon head is the source of these problems, so don't overlook the importance of the dragon head.

But it is precisely because the Bathroom Faucet is the most ordinary in life that even if there is a problem, people will not take it seriously. Many people will go to the hardware store, randomly choose a Mixer Faucet, and go home to install it themselves, saving money and feeling like they are great. Often, holding this mentality leads to various crying and laughing events.

Little do you know if the faucet you bought casually in a hardware store is made of healthy and environmentally friendly materials? Moreover, rust can occur within a few days, which can unknowingly harm health. After all, the water source for washing dishes, vegetables, fruits, and showers is directly in contact with the Water Tap.

What is the relationship between the material of the Sink Faucet and our health?

For example, lead, if it exceeds the national standard limit, it can easily cause damage to the brain and nervous system. Drinking lead containing tap water for a long time, the longer the accumulation time, the greater the harm to the human body.

Therefore, the testing standards for faucet materials in China are as follows: components that come into contact with water should not use easily corrosive materials such as zinc alloy; It should not cause harm to human health, nor should it cause any changes in the quality, appearance, taste, smell, etc. of drinking water.

When choosing a faucet, what material should we choose?

At present, the common faucet materials in the market include iron carbon alloy, PVC material, zinc alloy, ceramic, and copper, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

1. Iron carbon alloy:
The use of faucets made of this material has been explicitly prohibited by the state. It is best not to buy faucets made of this material
Excellent: The product is cheap
Poor: The product is prone to oxidation and rust, causing significant pollution to water

2. PVC material:
Transition supplies for construction and decoration projects
Advantage: Simple process and low cost
Poor: not sturdy, not durable

3. Zinc alloy:
Internal welding is used, which contains lead and is prone to rust
Advantage: Cheap and easy to mass produce
Poor: Poor toughness, easy to crack, short lifespan

4. Ceramics:
Excellent: Generous appearance and rich colors
Poor: Not durable, immature craftsmanship

5. Copper:
Excellent: Rich in design, with certain bactericidal effects
Poor: High cost, chaotic market

Nowadays, most faucets on the market are made of copper. On the one hand, copper has good cutting ability, fluidity, and formability, and it is beautiful and elegant after electroplating. On the other hand, copper ions have a bactericidal effect, making it the most suitable "water" carrier.
