The ball valve core is particularly suitable for areas of poor water quality, because it is not water impurities will not shorten the life. And ball spool handle a relatively large angle adjustment of warm water within the region, can accurately control the temperature, to ensure that the hot water outflow quickly and accurately, and as much as possible to conserve resources.
Ceramic chip leading spool: is the most common type of spool, it has the advantage of low price, the less water pollution, but the ceramic texture is crisp and easy to rupture.
Axis roll faucet spool: The advantage is that the handle turned smooth, easy operation and simple, feel comfortable and relaxed, aging resistance, wear resistance.

(1) spool off the faucet still water.
