Kitchen Faucet Buying Guide
Faucets are something that are used too often. We turn them
on and off everyday and we do this year after year. This is why it is necessary
to wisely choose a faucet that is not only good looking and stylish, but it
should also be easy and convenient to use. It should be safe and have a long
durable life.
Price of kitchen faucets depends on its valve. These valves play a vital role
in price, performance and life of a faucet. Price of a faucet can decide its
quality, how good or poor a faucet is. A good faucet will naturally cost more.
But is not always necessary that an expensive faucet will always be a good one.
You need to make a wise choice so that the faucet meets your needs and living
style. You need to understand the working mechanism of different kinds of
faucets. Read my previous article of types of kitchen faucets for a clear and
better understanding.
While buying a new faucet, it is important to carefully understand the valve. A
good valve can provide consistency in hot and cold water supply. Many faucet
manufacturers offer a temperature-limit feature (scald-guard) to prevent burns.
These are extremely helpful because you can adjust the maximum water
temperature the faucet will deliver. This feature is also useful if you have
small children at home.
People and the government is getting serious about water conservation. For this
reason, it is now mandated that all new faucets should deliver a maximum of 2.5
gallons or water per minute. Some faucet manufacturers offer restrictors so
that you can adjust and restrict flow of water.
Finally the warranty. Different faucet manufacturers offer different
warranties. Look for a long term warranty. A lifetime warranty against drips
and leaks is good. This ensures that your faucet will provide years of
trouble-free service and if it doesn’t, you get a free replacement.
