Having read a certain amount of any kind about the mixers of cold and hot water, for use at home, any, not suspecting anything about the vicissitudes of the fate of these very valves, a housewife, knows that yellow cranes, better than all sorts of chrome, and brilliantly novelty and English inscriptions. Of course, every owner wants beauty and nobility in his house.
But, based on operational capabilities and most importantly, thinking about security, nowadays, I would advise you to choose old -style mixers. Sometimes two valves (taps), in the sense of operation, are better than one. It seems that in the presence of one handle of the distribution of water, you make less movements, and the tap itself (valve) itself is less erased, and you think that it will last longer. By no means. Check for yourself. How many times do you twist this damned handle to tune at the water temperature you need. You just don’t think about it. It seems to you that it is faster and more convenient. Well, progress goes forward, and all the more so since the neighbor already has such a tap. But if you think about it, then I assure you that you are wrong in all respects.
Well, firstly, you still twist, it means that you wash the ball valve that regulates the amount of hot and cold water, which means that it abrasions twice as fast.
Secondly, the quality of these very valves (cranes, in our time, presented).
Thirdly, in order to get only cold or only hot water, you have to turn the handle and catch the moment. To have either hot or cold water.
And do not bring the Lord, this tap suddenly deteriorated, after all, it will flow from you from a hot and from a cold pipe. And then, you will understand and appreciate the advantage of our mixers and craps. Whether for the kitchen, or for the bath. The experience of centuries says that the more complicated the device is, and the mixer with one handle is not just a mixer, it is already a device, the more difficult it is. And it is more difficult to repair it, and in operation, is not very reliable.
Metal from which all this Western beauty is made – our. So do not not trust our manufacturers. At least some valves, in our country, have been working since the age of 35. After all, really, not all the gold that shines. Maybe beauty and requires sacrifice, but I think that you should not again check the tightness of your sexes, and even more so, understanding and nerves of your neighbors. When, due to the breakdown of the ball distributor, you will have to change the entire atmosphere in the apartment, then you will definitely think about, and what the hell I bought this brake pen, it would be better to take the old Soviet mixer tested for centuries! And I assure you, you, for many years, do not remember him, because he will simply do his job in silence, and without any European whims.
