Tips

Products of the German brand are often advised to select sellers of stores. However, it is not necessary to fully base your choice on the opinion of consultants, as this is not the most effective way.

Professionals advise to evaluate the appearance of products. For example, on the surface of the device should not be visible scratches and other defects. The color of the coating should be uniform.

If a significant indicator when choosing - the properties of steel, choose products harder.

If the product includes moving parts, their course should be smooth and quiet. If the parts move with effort, this is a sign of poor quality of the component parts of the product.

Check the aerator in the mixer. The German brand does not save on this part, it is metal. If a plastic aerator or a thin brass inside the product, in front of you, rather, just a fake.

Still carefully assess the condition of the flexible connection. The German manufacturer supplies it with its devices.

The internal thread of the hoses must be metallic. If it is plastic, then you also have a fake.

      When choosing it is worth considering that the type of construction (lever, valve on photocells) has little effect on the economy of consumption, if the devices do not have special functions, for example, a special type of cartridges.However, when choosing a device, it should be borne in mind that the more functions it has, the higher the probability of failure of parts.
