Boat Water Mixers

What is the most durable material for a faucet in a marine environment?

AISI 316 stainless steel is the best choice due to its high resistance to saltwater corrosion. Good quality chrome-plated brass also offers good durability but requires more careful maintenance.

How can I prevent limescale buildup in my boat's faucets?

Use a limescale filter upstream of the plumbing system. Periodically, disassemble the faucet and immerse the parts in a solution of water and white vinegar to dissolve limescale deposits.

Which faucet is best suited for a sink in a dinette with limited space?

A folding faucet is an excellent alternative. When not in use, it folds down on itself, freeing up space on the sink.

Can I use a regular household faucet on my boat?

Not recommended. Household faucets are not designed to withstand the marine environment and will deteriorate quickly. It's best to opt for marine-specific models made with corrosion-resistant materials.

How do I choose the most suitable shower mixer for my boat?

Consider the water pressure on board, the size of the shower stall, and the presence of a hot water heater. If you have limited space, a mixer with a pull-out spray is a great option.
