二、Current copper faucet defects
1. Generally, the content of lead in copper and copper faucet castings is 4%-8%. If the faucet is not used for a long time, green rust will be generated on the inner wall, and harmful substances such as lead existing inside may be released into the tap water. Drinking too high levels of lead can cause lead poisoning.
2. The surface of the copper faucet needs electroplating, which causes serious environmental pollution. The copper surface treatment method is nickel and chromium. The surface is not resistant to acid and alkali, cannot be washed with washing water and hard towels, care is not convenient, it is 1 to 2 years, and slowly loses surface gloss and pitting during 3 to 5 years. Finally, the plating layer peels off, revealing copper rust.
