For a long time already passed the times when plumbing performed only its direct functions. Today, thanks to interesting design solutions, conventional faucets also carry an aesthetic function, making the bathroom not only comfortable, but also beautiful. An example of this is a cascade mixer-waterfalls, which differ from the usual with a very wide jet. We will talk about their peculiarities today.
Faucets-waterfalls for sinks and bathtubs
Cascade mixers, or faucets-waterfalls, as already mentioned above, have a special design of spout (nozzle), so that they can give a wide stream of water. This feature significantly limits the scope of their use - neither for kitchen sinks nor for bidets such mixers can not be used. But in the bathroom they have a place, because to collect a bath or wash with their help will be much faster. To provide increased throughput, cascade mixers are equipped with wider underwater pipes. The outlet at the end of the spout also has a special shape - wide and flat. A smooth flow of water is provided due to the lack of a waterfall mixer in the construction of an aerator. Otherwise, the design of these mixers is not much different from the usual ones - they can be ball, and lever and sensor.
Disadvantages and advantages of cascade mixers
To the merits of faucets-waterfalls can be attributed their unusual design design and the ability in a few minutes to collect a sufficiently large volume of water. Speaking about the disadvantages of such mixers, we can not fail to mention the limited area of use - just a bath or a sink. In addition, these mixers are worth a lot of themselves, and water with their help is consumed a lot, which means that they are not suitable for diligent owners.
