All-copper faucet (purchase index: ★★★★★)

640 3 46

Using all copper casting, strong and durable, excellent acid and alkali resistance, long service life, relatively low melting point, has a strong plasticity, more mature production process.

China’s requirements for faucet lead content must be ≤ 1.8%, and copper ions have a certain sterilization effect, do not have to worry about the water is infected with bacteria, to protect our drinking water safety.

 

Stainless steel faucet (purchase index: ★★★★★)

Stainless steel faucet does not contain lead, and acid, alkali resistance, no corrosion, does not release harmful substances, will not pollute the tap water source.
