Criteria for mixer selection
So, the most convenient, comfortable and practical all over the world today is the mixer of the so-called "single-lever" principle of operation. And it's hard to argue with this statement:
- Water with the required pressure is opened with a slight movement, not even with a hand, but with a finger.
- The water temperature can be set in advance and can be opened in the specified mode.
Their device includes a special cartridge, which performs all the functions necessary for the mixer (opening, closing, adjusting the pressure, mixing hot and cold water). Unfortunately, even this type of plumbing (sometimes with a manufacturer's warranty for up to 5 years) begins to leak (the main reason is poor water quality). The problem can be eliminated quite simply, without dismantling the device, by simply replacing the old cartridge with a new one. And here a hitch may arise, but is the required cartridge available for sale?
Therefore, having opted for the mixer you like, ask if the necessary components are available for it (the cartridge designation is usually present in the full name of the device) and if so, feel free to buy this model.
It is recommended to check with the seller (you can do this in the online format using the "feedback with a consultant" option) the presence of flexible hoses in the set for connecting to the water supply system and, most importantly, their length, it must be sufficient (no tension "), As well as the type of thread on the coupling.
