When arranging a house, much attention should be paid to the bathroom and kitchen, because it is these premises that require a special approach and selection of furniture, equipment and all kinds of devices. One of the main points in the arrangement of these rooms is the selection of the mixer directly, since without it you will not be able to carry out a single process. Today there is a huge assortment of such devices, but they need to be able to choose the right. The “Christmas trees” mixers who are familiar to us are gradually leaving the turnover, and they are replaced by one -sided. Such mixers are a body with a plate in which the process of mixing cold and hot water takes place. It is this plate that performs the option of the lever. Manufacturers produce mixers of this type made of metal, plastic or even ceramics.
To date, two types of mixer of this type are distinguished:
ball – its design has one main element in the form of a ball. It has three holes that are intended for hot, cold and, of course, mixed water. The water pressure is regulated by a change in the movement of this ball. This type of mixer is most durable, as it has a good thought -out structure;
cartridge – here in the design instead of the ball a cartridge is installed. It is based on two ceramic plates. There are three water holes on the plate located from the bottom, but the upper performs directly the mixing function.
In addition, stainless disk crane is also distinguished – mixer. In the event that there was a breakdown of such a mixer, there is an opportunity to repair it with your own hand. To do this, you need such a tool as a screwdriver and a hexagon. The process consists in six simple actions. First, using a screwdriver, you need to get my master keys that indicate hot and cold water with color. Further, using the key, you need to twist the screw that connects the joystick and the adjustment rod. After that, you need to remove the handle from the tap and unscrew the nuts that are on the upper plate. Next, you can remove the mixer disk, and cartridges or any other part are replaced, depending on the type of breakdown. Now exactly the opposite is assembled by the assembly of the mixer. It is worth remembering that when purchasing a part for replacement, it is best that it is similar to the one that you removed, starting from size and series, ending with the manufacturer.
