Faucet is one of the household items that everyone needs to use. It can be said that its quality is closely related to everyone. At present, the two materials of stainless steel faucet and copper faucet are common. Copper faucets can be divided into non-standard copper, national standard copper, and other copper faucets according to their materials. However, when everyone is choosing, they are always very hesitant and do not know which one is better. So let me talk to you about the difference between these two faucets, and suggest how to choose.
1. Health and environmental protection
Copper faucet: The lead content of copper faucet is 4%-8%. After long-term use, it will chemically react with the air, and the inner wall will produce basic copper carbonate Cu2(OH)2CO3, commonly known as "copper green", which contains lead and other substances It may be released into tap water. Drinking water with high lead content can cause lead poisoning, which not only affects children’s intellectual development, but also increases the possibility of elderly people suffering from dementia; however, if you use the national standard H59 copper faucet And after a 24-hour salt spray test, you don’t need to worry if it meets the requirements of C/T 1043-2007 "Lead Separation Limits in Faucets".
Stainless steel faucet: The stainless steel faucet is lead-free, acid-resistant, alkali-resistant, not easy to corrode, and will not pollute the tap water source. There will be no chemical reaction with the bleach in the water, which guarantees the health of human drinking water, so that your family can use clean water sources without any worries.

2. Performance
The copper faucet can kill 99% of the bacteria in the tap water and prevent the bacteria from producing antibodies (simply put: the inner wall of the copper faucet will not breed bacteria). This is what other materials do not have.
Stainless steel faucet: It has heat resistance. At high temperature, it has stable performance against oxidation and corrosion. In the "high temperature zone" similar to the kitchen, it is a breeding ground for bacteria. Therefore, it is safer and healthier to choose heat-resistant stainless steel faucets.

3. Surface treatment
Copper faucet: The surface needs to be electroplated, and the chrome layer can only be maintained for 3 to 5 years. It cannot be repaired after falling off and abraded, and affects the appearance; the all-copper faucet has good wear resistance, easy processing, etc. The faucets are all made of copper. Because the raw materials are expensive, the price is also more expensive.
Stainless steel faucet: physical surface treatment, no electroplating, no need to worry about the appearance of the electroplated layer falling off and rusting, the appearance of stainless steel itself can always remain bright as new; the hardness and toughness of stainless steel faucets are more than 2 times higher than that of copper. The surface will never rust, never deform, never corrode.

Finally, through the difference between the stainless steel faucet and the all-copper faucet introduced above, we must have a general understanding of the two. It is recommended that you still choose stainless steel faucets, because the craftsmanship and shape of the faucets are actually the same. Although the price of good stainless steel faucets is high, the things are really good.
