However, first of all, it is necessary to choose the type of mixer that you want to install, and the manufacturer's company. Since it affects ergonomics, appearance and how it is not prikorbno how often will repair the mixer. To avoid this, in this article we will look at all the pitfalls with which all buyers in the store meet.

• Valve faucets.

Such mixers are not expensive, they show themselves best when working with our water and relatively cheap mixers are cheap to repair. Valve faucets can have a rubber or ceramic tap-axle. If you do not have a water filter, it's better to pay attention to faucets with a rubber crane, since the repair of this mixer is much less frequent.

• Ball Mixers

These mixers are mostly chosen by those who are happy owners of filters for water purification. The characteristic advantage of such mixers are ergonomics, design and ease of use. The disadvantages include the price and cost of repairing the mixer.

For different purposes, different mixers are used:

- Mixers for kitchen and washbasins.
Some modifications of these mixers are mounted on the wall, but mostly they are installed on the sink. Kitchen mixers usually have a stretching spout to make it easier to wash dishes and food. The shape of the nozzle in these mixers is usually arcuate. Washbasin mixers that are used in the bathroom usually have a device for closing or opening the valve on the bottom of the sink.

- Bath mixer

These mixers are installed either on the bath itself, or mounted on the wall. In our country more often used faucets, installed on the wall. The last stage of the stage is popular mixer-thermostats. These devices can monitor the water temperature. Naturally, the price for them is much higher, and the repair of the mixer will cost more.

- Mixer for shower cabins.

Most of these mixers of this type do not have a spout, and the installation is provided either on a wall or on a mechanism hidden in a wall. Installing a mixer of this type is desirable to have a high level of confidence in the manufacturer of the parts and the experience of the specialist who makes the installation, because leakage or fine breakage of such a mixer is difficult to notice in a short time. So do not experiment, better make a plumbing call. Replacement of the mixer is very laborious and responsible process.
