Tobias Claren5 Sep 2024 11:44Hello.
Are there any recommended (ideally well-established over several years) low-pressure faucets with separate controls for mixing and pressure for a small (~42cm (17 inches) depth) washbasin, where the spout reach is ideally around ~15cm (6 inches)?
Not the old-style taps with separate hot and cold knobs—this should be a mixer.
Single-lever is fine, or if there are two knobs/levers, one should control mixing and the other pressure.
The advantage would be that when opening the tap, you don’t accidentally change the temperature/mix.
A mixer setting with fixed steps would be practical, even without a temperature display.
This way, you can remember 3, 4, or 5 levels and switch quickly without needing to check by feel.
Below this would be a Clage M3 mini instantaneous water heater, which always runs at its maximum.
But even with a standard instantaneous water heater, you usually don’t change its setting frequently,
even if you have a remote control.
Thank you.

Tobias Claren5 Sep 2024 11:55I had already mentioned that as an option.
What I’m looking for are concrete recommendations for specific products of acceptable quality because I can’t find anything.
What I also found is the "ZXC low-pressure kitchen faucet for the sink with a flexibly adjustable spout" on Ebay, Amazon, etc., from "Luccio GMBH."
But at least in the imprint on Ebay on the Luccio account, it says Xiaoyong Zhang in Germany.
I wouldn’t have an issue with something used for 5, 10, 20, or 30 euros, but new for €26 plus shipping—how good can that be...?
The two joints of the faucet would probably make it a bit more expensive even from a brand manufacturer compared to a standard faucet.
The cartridge and the joints should not fail after half a year, one year, or two years.
So either with a reach of up to 15cm (6 inches), or something like that.
But also not only 5cm (2 inches) high, as with the very small single-lever mixers.
It should have a bit more height.
Around 10cm (4 inches) height or more.
Or, if available, a low-pressure faucet as described but with an additional lever or button, similar to a bathtub faucet for diverting to a hose.

Buying cheap usually means having to buy 2 or 3 times.
You can safely buy any "normal" brand manufacturers. Depending on your aesthetic preferences. I would avoid cheap stuff altogether.
By the way, what is the whole fuss about the faucet really about? Is there a special reason, and what is the purpose of separate controls for mixing and pressure – every single-lever mixer does that.

Tobias Claren5 Sep 2024 22:26Yes, I clearly stated that I consider 26 including shipping to be too cheap.
BUT I also think 5, 10, 20... euros for something used is okay if it is of higher quality.
I’m looking for specific recommendations for a faucet with a spout reach of up to 15cm (6 inches).
Something similar to a cheap model is fine, as long as the quality is acceptable.
What kind of “fuss” are you talking about?
Of course, any single-lever mixer can do that, and I said it would be acceptable.
But if there were one control for temperature and a separate one for pressure, that would be better.
I am not referring to the old separate hot and cold taps.

This is about specific product recommendations.There are probably around 826 single-lever mixers that might suit your taste. Are you seriously expecting recommendations? Especially for fittings that likely only exist as custom-made items in the desired form, since they are an absolute niche product (the usual major manufacturers do not have them in their range).Similar topics
