How to choose?
When buying a mixer, it is recommended to consider the parameters of the model in order to make a competent choice.
Control
First of all, it is necessary to determine the type of temperature controller and water pressure. It is important to evaluate the convenience of your chosen option and find out all the pros and cons. Hansgrohe offers lever mixers of all kinds. One of the most popular is a valve with two valves, designed to supply cold and hot liquid. Standard products with turntables look rather rich and beautiful, especially in classic interiors. As a rule, they are covered with bronze to give a more luxurious look.
Unfortunately, such options are more convenient in the bathroom than in the kitchen. Mistresses often have to use a faucet for washing dishes, and each time adjusting a comfortable degree is inconvenient. But single-lever models in this regard are much better and more modern. For this reason, products with one control lever are now more popular for the kitchen sink.
After setting the temperature, the regulator can be lowered and the next time you don’t have to waste time and water, everything will be ready.
Hansgrohe models with the original bridge crane are also quite interesting. This is one of the varieties of rescuers with two turntables, but in this case, the valves are not attached to the body. They are connected to each other by a pipe resembling a bridge, the spout itself is located in the middle. The use of such devices occurs in the same way as with a standard analogue. They are optimal for rooms in the style of Provence or retro.
An innovation in the world of plumbing is faucets with touch or button controls. There are models where the screen is located next to the twist in the place of the lever or valve, on the other buttons are installed directly on the crane body. Such devices are very convenient, and most importantly - save water. You can pre-set the temperature and pressure force, and the liquid will pour out only after you bring your hands to the twist. Of course, the cost of such mixers is quite high, but the quality and usability are appropriate.
Spout
Properly select and should the crane body. The shape and design of the device are selected individually, depending on the kitchen interior. However, there are some nuances related to the functional side. It is advisable to choose a device with a swivel spout, so you will be able to wash the tanks at any angle. A similar tap is required with two sinks. The height of the device is selected depending on the depth of the sink.
It is recommended to give preference to high options, so it will be more convenient to wash large pots and draw water into a vase. However, too long a length is not always good, as water can splatter to the sides.
Additional functions
