For hardware such as faucets and sinks that are frequently used, if environmentally friendly and durable products are not purchased, it will greatly affect the quality of the kitchen and the mood of users. Therefore, when purchasing kitchen hardware, it is important to ensure the quality and prevent water leakage and blockage.
Faucet: leakproof & save water
The kitchen is a big place for home water consumption. Especially now that more and more people are worried about the residual problem, whether it is vegetables or fruits, they have to be soaked several times before they can be eaten, which leads to an increase in kitchen water consumption.Therefore, when buying a kitchen faucet, water saving is an issue that has to be considered.In addition to ordinary faucets, there are special water-saving faucets on the market, which save about 30%-40% of water compared to ordinary faucets.The water-saving faucet is mainly to install a bubbler in the faucet to inject air into the water, which slows down the flow of water and reduces the amount of flushing during flushing, thus saving energy.This faucet also has the function of spraying, avoiding the problem of splashing the vegetable washing water every time.
Another key factor when choosing a kitchen faucet is the problem of water leakage.Due to the high frequency of opening and closing of the kitchen faucet, if the quality is too poor, water leakage and dripping will occur soon after use, causing waste.The key to the faucet's leakage is the valve core. It is generally believed that the ceramic valve core is the more advanced valve core technology at present. Compared with the ordinary valve core, it has the functions of strong wear resistance and good sealing performance, and its anti-leakage performance is also better. It is recommended to choose a faucet with a ceramic valve core. In addition, when purchasing a faucet, you should try to see whether the switch is smoothly opened and closed, and whether the electroplating layer on the surface of the faucet is smooth or not. These are the key factors for judging whether the faucet is good or bad.
Sink: Anti-clogging is the key

Sink: Anti-clogging is the key
At present, most kitchen sinks are made of 304 stainless steel. The basin body is sturdy and durable, so there is basically no need to worry about the service life. The key is the draining device of the sink. When many families habitually wash vegetables and dishes, they directly let the residue flow out of the drain of the sink. Long-term development of this habit can easily lead to problems such as clogged drains, leaking water pipes, and smelly drains.
Therefore, consider the design of the outlet of the sink when purchasing a sink. For example, a solid waste storage basket with a sink at the mouth of the sink can be used to store the washed solid waste. The waste in the storage basket is emptied every time the sink is used, which can prevent too much solid waste from entering the sewer and causing blockage. Now more and more families will install food waste disposers, which can break solid waste directly, even if it is flushed from the water pipe, it will not cause blockage.
In addition, the quality of the sewer pipes is also a key concern when purchasing a sink. If the quality of the water pipe is too poor, the long-term corrosion of food residues will easily lead to problems such as water leakage and odor. Therefore, pay attention to the product quality when choosing sewer PVC water pipes.
Tips1: Good design makes the kitchen more convenient
The high rating of a good kitchen is its ease of use. Therefore, more attention should be paid to hardware parts such as faucets and sinks that are frequently used. There are also different kitchen hardware for different usage habits on the market. For example, in addition to ordinary faucets, there are also pull-out nozzles, 360-degree rotating nozzles, spray nozzles and other different faucet styles to choose from. ; The sink also has special accessories, such as a metal shelf placed above the sink, which is convenient for washing vegetables and fruits when they can be dried.
