Review of the best VIDIMA faucets in 2020

Almost no repair is complete without replacing plumbing equipment. Most often, most people pay attention only to the external attractiveness of mixers and taps, bypassing their functionality, structural features and installation. But the convenience of their use and placement will depend on them in the first place. This material is dedicated to the best VIDIMA mixers.

Mixer selection criteria

Place of use

According to the place of use and the specifics of the structure, all mixers can be divided into conditional groups:

• for the kitchen (sink);
• for the sink (washbasin);
• For shower;
• for a bath with a shower;
• universal (bath with shower plus washbasin);
• for bidet.

Control method

According to the control method, the mixers are divided into:

• single-lever mixers - new models with a simplified control system (one lever for pressure and water temperature).
• double-lever (two-valve) mixers - traditional with two valves responsible for cold and hot water. Allows you to more accurately adjust the water temperature.
• Portion-push mixers - limit the flow of water over time, which saves water. Recommended for use in public places.
• sensor mixers - models without valves and levers. Water is supplied by a presence sensor. Also recommended for use in areas with high water consumption.

Spout characteristics

When buying a mixer, you should pay attention to the height and angle of rotation of the gander. Low spout is most often used in washbasins, bathtubs, bidets. Medium to tall gander is preferred for kitchen sinks. The higher it is, the less deep it can be.

The swiveling spout is an important consideration for kitchen taps. The larger the angle of rotation of the gander, the more comfortable and convenient it is to wash bulky dishes. A swivel spout should also be in universal mixers.

Additional functions

These include:

• built-in filter;
• aeration of water;
• pull-out spout;
• bottom valve;
• switches for connecting a washing machine or dishwasher;
• switch for the supply of filtered drinking water;
• economy mode, etc.

The availability of these functions must be specified in advance when purchasing, because not all models are equipped with the required mechanisms.

Mounting

Faucets can be mounted vertically (on the wall) and horizontally (directly on the side of the bathtub or sink). There is also a built-in installation option in which only the control levers remain visible. In addition, when buying and installing a mixer, you should pay attention to the type of connecting pipes for water supply, because adapters may be required. However, the ideal option would be to contact a specialist in order to avoid the consequences of incorrect installation of equipment.
