Good afternoon dear readers!
Last year, or rather in August, I purchased a new bathroom faucet. I bought it in a construction hypermarket with a green sign. I bought the cheapest, since there was no extra money, but to make a bath, when moving to a new apartment, it was necessary. I choose my own stopped on the mixer for 1200 rubles.
Nothing, but exactly after 2 months he began to leak. A month later, the handle that turns 360 degrees lost its position, and to close it it was necessary to first turn the tap to the end, and then 10 degrees turn back. In this position, he did not proceed and the water was not dripping. After another 2 months, the shifting leak lever was broken. From that moment on the place had to screw the curved bolt and take it with a tape, in order to be easier to turn it easier.
Here in this state there was an old mixer, in addition to the nail, instead of a switching lever and flowing out of all water slots, he rusty
And after some time, the mixer finally broke, the water began to flow not only in the mixer itself, and also in the eccentrics.
There was a thought, suddenly I leave home, and this unreliable crane breaks and floods all the neighbors to the first floor. And it was decided to acquire a new mixer.
This time I did not take the cheapest and took one and a half times more expensive (+500 rubles). So I have acquired a thing quite reliable.
I started the replacement from disconnecting the water and twisting of the old mixer. He was rusty and broken. And the new one is beautiful and reliable.
To twist the old crane I needed the keys to 30 and 14.
Keys that needed during the repair process:
14 In order to keep eccentric, and 30 unscrew the mixer.
But on the contrary, it took 13 key and everything is also 30. Surprisingly, new eccentrics turned out to be less than any kind of similarity.
A new mixer was pleasantly surprised me, all the cranes and levers switched nicely, the stroke of the cranes was already 180 degrees, because of this, the water is harder, and taking into account the fact that the ceramic shut-off valve, then the durability is provided.
In general, I really liked the mixer. Although in comparison with the previous one - any would be excellent.
If you have an old mixer bad, do not pull you for a new one, the cost of 2-3 thousand rubles will save you in the future and on your repair and repair of neighbors.
