Kinds of Faucets

Consider the variety of faucet styles available today: Goosenecks, single handle, double handle, touchless, smart, wall-mounted, spray capable. Each faucet style requires a different approach to repairs, parts, and installation, depending on their inner workings. Here are three popular kinds of faucets:

- A ceramic disc faucet, for example, has two slotted ceramic discs, one fixed and the other movable, that control the flow of water as they align. A single handle on the fixture operates water volume and temperature.
- Faucets with a ball valve also use a single handle. The handle controls a metal ball with holes and slots. When the openings align in different positions, they adjust the temperature and flow of the water.
- The single handle of a cartridge faucet moves the cylindrical cartridge up or down to control water flow and temperature. A two-handled cartridge faucet uses two cartridges, one for each handle.

Faucet Replacement

Consider replacement when buying parts is nearly as expensive as installing a new fixture.

If your faucet is more than 20 years old, looks worn, and needs frequent repairs, it is a good candidate for replacement.

Of course, you do not have to wait until your faucets break down before you replace them. Consider upgrading your sinks with new fixtures. New faucets can transform your kitchen and bathroom from blah to beautiful while providing useful features such as pull-down sprayers and one-touch or touchless capability.

You can command some faucets to turn off and on by voice command or touch the spout to start and stop the water.

Whether you want an efficient and economical faucet or a trendy fixture with bells and whistles, our pros at Aux Home Services can recommend the best product for your home.
