Features

A mixer is a device that regulates the amount of tap water flowing from the pipes into the sink, and gives it the right temperature level by mixing water at different temperatures. Such a device was invented in the XIX century by W. Thomson (Lord Kelvin). At the beginning of the 20th century by A. Manukyan it was improved - the device received one lever for ease of use. After the mixer was patented, the companies immediately began to produce it in large quantities.

Consumer reviews recently consistently indicate the positive quality of plumbing, manufactured by Zorg (Czech Republic). This well-known manufacturing company brought to the consumer market design lines of various types of kitchen faucets and many variations of its products.

Mixer Types

Today, there are two types of kitchen faucet:

  • two-valve;
  • single lever

Two valve type

This type of design is widely popular today - it is actively used in vintage kitchens or retro-style kitchens. A two-valve mixer is a device equipped with two independent valves, and it mixes water inside the gander itself. This design is considered fairly reliable, easy to repair and accurate when adjusting. Using it is not very comfortable, because setting the desired temperature will take quite a long time.

Profitability also suffers, as long as the optimum temperature is adjusted, a large amount of water is wasted.

Single lever type

In this case, the operation is provided by only one regulator. Its function is not only to mix the flow of water of different temperatures, but also to adjust their intensity. Its use is elementary - for this reason, such a design is highly valued in kitchen faucet options. The flip side of the coin is that accurate and correct adjustment of the lever is not so simple. The hostess will have to remember the location of the knob controller, in which the temperature can be considered necessary. Also, a relatively short period of operation of the mechanism does not inspire much optimism, since in a few years it will be necessary to repair the product with the mandatory replacement of sealing rings or gaskets.

There are also contactless mixers, but they are relatively rarely used in household use - this type of product is more suitable for public places.

Mixer selection criteria

First of all, when choosing a mixer it is necessary to consider its type and manufacturer. Of course, this is not the only thing you need to know.

Materials

To date, consumers are presented with a wide variety of models: steel, ceramic, copper, brass, nickel, granite, and even plastic variations. It is impossible to say about plastic that it is durable or durable, but it has an important advantage - it does not rust. The internal parts of the ceramic and metal fittings on the external surfaces are perfectly combined with each other.

A faucet made of stainless steel would be completely organic for a modern interior, and lovers of retro style would most likely choose bronze or brass.

Types of spouts

There is a choice of three options.

  • High spouts are considered optimal for kitchens, for the reason that when using them, washing dishes of even larger sizes is more comfortable, and more dishes can be placed in the sink. The disadvantage is the fact that such spouts need large sinks, because for small ones they are not suitable because of the strong splashing of the water jet.
  • If the sink is small, it is recommended to install low-flow faucets.
  • Options with retractable designs. Here, the mixer is fastened using a flexible hose, which for convenience is removed to a length of 0.5-1.5 m.
