Durable Construction and Maintenance
The construction of the lever shower mixer emphasizes longevity and reliability through careful material selection and engineering. The body is typically crafted from high-grade brass, known for its excellent durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring years of reliable service in humid bathroom environments. The surface finishing, whether chrome, brushed nickel, or other options, undergoes multiple layers of plating and treatment to maintain its appearance and protect against tarnishing. The internal components feature high-quality ceramic discs and stainless steel springs that resist wear and mineral buildup, significantly reducing maintenance requirements. The cartridge design allows for easy replacement if necessary, though its robust construction typically ensures years of trouble-free operation. Regular maintenance is minimal, usually requiring only occasional cleaning of the aerator and external surfaces to maintain optimal performance.
