Start
Leaky faucets could be a thing of the past with difficult high-end finishes and valves now common to be all but the cheapest models. Most faucets have a lifetime warranty (the original purchaser), to cover the deficiencies and also completed. We found some performance differences between brands and so our advice is on the surface of the base and why the taps are not evaluated.
We tested simple pull-handle faucets, style fastest growing. Connect the spray head and nozzle for comfort and flexibility, but our findings to other types of valves. The exterior of some known valves are bombarded with charged metal atoms that chemically bond to the surface of the base metal in a method such as physical vapor deposition or PVD. Various metals to various surfaces, including nickel and bronze. PVD surface resistance of our efforts to remove them, but caustic as drain cleaner can stain easily. Chrome remains a popular destination and is very durable, but can scratch heavy scouring pad. Brushed stainless steel no scratches or marks, as easily show how Chrome. Bronze has a rustic look and have two bronze faucets tested. One without the PVD finish is at least resistant to abrasion in our tests. The cock with PVD finish was good.
Here's what to check, like when shopping for a new faucet.

The number of holes
Basin area are with mounting holes for the taps. If you keep your sink, you must comply with what you have or will have a base to cover extra holes. The base plate can come with the faucet and can also be used to cover the holes in your counter, if that's where your faucet is installed. It's not a good idea to try to drill additional holes in a sink or the existing counter.
Single handle or two handles?
Faucets are easier to use and to install and handle can be mounted or installed on the faucet on the side. Atomizer, a portion of the opening portion or the valve may be platform. Two valves have handles for hot and cold water and the handles are part of the base plate or mounted separately and the syringe is usually separated.
Beak Styles
Straight running faucets are compact and often cheap, but you need to move the valve a large pot with him. Gooseneck models have more freedom, but can cause splashing if your sink is flat. Whatever you make sure that the balance pin head enough to reach the entire sink, especially if you have a large or double sink. Also keep the proportional valve; a large sink seems strange with a small tap.
Installation and repair
Replacing a faucet and sink at the same time is easier because the valve installed in the sink or counter before the sink is to be in place. Fittings, which can be tightened with a screwdriver, to simplify the installation. Long water pipes can be the lower links in the sink cabinet in which tools are easier to use. While most faucets are guaranteed not to leak, if you must, the manufacturer will give you only the spare parts - it must be installed up to you.
