Not everything is limited to the appearance of the faucets!
Most people choose faucets only based on their appearance, which is a mistake. Of course, the design of the faucets is important and that is why manufacturers pay special attention to it. But if the faucets you buy are supposed to last, you should pay attention to other points. Accordingly, according to the studies conducted, the following points can be considered as important factors in purchasing sanitary faucets. If you are as excited as we are to know about these factors, continue reading this article.
Valve Body
The valve body is mainly made of brass alloy. This alloy is a combination of brass, zinc, and lead. It is better to buy a model that contains a very small percentage of lead when buying valves. Because lead is a toxic substance that is dangerous to human health. Some other manufacturers use stainless steel for the body of their valves. Coop valves are the first and only Iranian brand that uses 316L steel for the body of the valves. The price of steel valves is higher than brass valves and they are considered luxury valves in the market. Therefore, one of the first things you should pay attention to when buying sanitary valves is the body material used.

Don’t underestimate the importance of faucet height
Different models of sanitary faucets have different faucet heights, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. In addition, it can be said that the height of the faucet also affects its ease of use. Most of the time, you can choose any model or design you like. But if the distance between the sink and the cabinet is small, the height of the faucet cannot exceed a certain amount. Also, today, the tall pedestal faucet is popular among people because of its beautiful appearance and ease of use. In order to solve this problem, Coop has designed the Makran faucet for the kitchen, which has adjustable height.

Why is a ceramic cartridge the best choice?
If you want to be comfortable with water dripping, buy a model that has a ceramic cartridge. The price of faucets that have a ceramic cartridge is almost the same as other types of cartridges. It is recommended to pay attention to the type of cartridge that the faucet has when buying sanitary faucets. The Coop brand has used a ceramic cartridge in all its faucets, and this is another point that distinguishes this brand from other brands.
If your water pressure is low!
The lower the water pressure, the larger the cartridge you should buy. So don’t forget to pay attention to the cartridge size when buying faucets. The cartridge sizes used by the Coop brand are 25 and 35 mm.
Your modern decoration needs built-in faucets!
If you are interested in having a modern decoration, it is better to choose from the types of built-in faucets available in the market. Built-in faucets have a unique design. This type of sanitary faucet is installed inside the wall and you will no longer see the unpleasant view of the plumbing. Of course, if you need a house with limited space, you can purchase built-in faucets. The price of built-in faucets is also higher than other types of sanitary faucets, due to its accessories and luxurious appearance.
PVD Plating: A New Plating Method for Colored Faucets
The shiny, matte gold and rose gold colors and colored faucets that you see in the open are produced with a new plating method known as PVD. The coating resistance of this type of plating is very high and its color remains unchanged. This type of faucet does not have the sensitivity of chrome coatings to detergents and is much more resistant. Coop Faucets has used this type of plating in all its colored faucets.
Considering the aerator
Today, due to the shortage of water resources, manufacturers have turned to producing low-consumption faucets. One of the factors that can reduce water consumption is the use of aerators in sanitary faucets. The aerator itself can be seen in several ways:
- Aerator aerator
- Laminar aerator
- Anti-sediment aerator
- Reducing aerator
- Coin aerator
The best aerator for sanitary faucets is the anti-sediment aerator. The aerator that the Coop brand uses in its faucets is the Swiss NeoPearl aerator, which is an anti-sediment type and is made of silicone. The NeoPearl aerator prevents sediment from entering the faucets and provides you with healthy water. In addition, after a while when sediment accumulates, you will be able to easily clean it.
