How to choose?

For washbasins faucets with small and medium spouts are usually used. A large "crane" and uncomfortable, and it looks somehow ridiculous at times. Most often, the device is mounted directly on the sink. Therefore, it is worth checking that there is no need to use adapters there.

Note: when a bowl-sink is installed, the mixer is placed next to it or built into the wall, directing a stream of water strictly into the sink.

Sometimes it becomes necessary to keep water in the bowl for some time. Then faucets with a bottom valve will help out. In some sources, it is customary to call it a drain headset. Adjustment is made using a special switch located behind the mixer.

For maximum water savings, it is recommended to use contactless type mixing devices with special sensors.

Useful and temperature controllers. They will help to avoid burns or discomfort. Such devices can be mounted on taps for both bathtubs and sinks.

Those who are already used to adjusting the temperature by the mixer themselves should continue to choose thermostatic design. Otherwise, the risk of unpleasant consequences is great.

Choosing a plumbing unit for a bath and shower at the same time, it is worthwhile to prefer a device with a spout that has a separate outlet for a watering can hose. Most often it is mounted on the wall. The switching unit helps determine where the water will be supplied. Faucets with long spouts also help out. But they are less practical.

For a freestanding or atypical bathtub shape, floor mixers are often used. They look like tall, but not too thick, columns of metal. This solution looks very impressive. Inside there is all the necessary set of equipment for supplying water. And for the most stylish look, you can choose a mixing device with a cascade-type spout, even with additional illumination.

An important role is played by the number of adjusting levers. Double lever systems are slightly cheaper than having one lever. In addition, this solution is better suited for the bathroom in a classic spirit. You just need to understand that you will have to change the gasket more often, which will wear out faster. Yes, and fine-tuning the water temperature in a two-fan circuit is difficult, because a lot depends on priorities.
