The mixer is called a crane, inside which hot and cold water mixing. Today it is impossible to meet the bathroom, which would not be equipped with such a convenient design. When choosing a model, you must take into account some important factors. Next, consider which exactly.
Which design of the mixer is better?
At the moment, four types of this equipment are available – ball, valve, electronic and thermostatic. Vential mixers for the Russian consumer are much more familiar. They are as adapted as possible to Russian conditions and are very durable. However, many owners of apartments still prefer more aesthetic and original ball models. As for the features of their operation, they do not tolerate our domestic hard water too well. Over time, the handle of such a mixer begins to work with some characteristic grinding. It’s all about the ball module, often clogging solid particles of salts. The convenience of such structures consists primarily in the extraordinary ease of control. It is enough to turn the handle and the flow of water will change the temperature. If you raise its pressure intensify.
Of the more rare products, electronic and thermostatic. The first is good because it is regulated completely without human participation. It is enough to bring your hands to the cranes and water will flow from it. It’s all about an infrared sensor that records the presence of an outsider in the immediate vicinity. Thermostatic options are convenient in that when using it it is impossible to get burned. When raising the temperature of the water above the set, it will simply be blocked, but the price of a bathtub mixer of this type is very high.
The method of installing the mixer
The mixer can be installed directly on the sink or bath or on the wall. Both are quite convenient. The first option is considered more modern. If the equipment in the bathroom is not too new, then most likely, the owners will have to purchase a wall standard option. Acrylic baths often have a hole specially designed for the mixer. For the shells of the modern design, pipes eyeliner are carried out from below, and not at the top along the wall and equipment for mixing water is installed, respectively.
Finally, we add that chrome -made models are considered the most convenient to use. Nickelized can cause allergies. Thus, taking into account all the features of the design and the installation method, you can buy a model suitable for this particular case.
