Tapware- The Marvels of Modern Living
Freshwater is the most precious commodity in modern times. In fact, until the turn of the 20th century, piped water and sanitation were the luxuries only a few wealthy could afford. Even today, these are luxuries in many parts of world.
The streets in England of the 1850s were strewn with open sewers that deposited dreadfully stinking wastes. The night-soil men (who removed contents of cesspools including human excreta at night) were the highest paid employees in roll of the city sanitation department.
Things began to change with a network of water and sewer lines that carried human waste outside of city limits. One invention that changed everything was the simple gadget called tap – the shiny thing that delivers water to end usage points – whether kitchens, bathrooms, gardens and everywhere else.
Modern taps and valves are simple yet highly efficient gadgets that keep the pressured water in pipes until you turn them on. Unlike the ugly looking cast iron taps of the bygone era, today’s taps, sanitary ware and fittings are the works of art made from the highest quality of metals and plastics.
As for the variety of tap and valves, one could be spoilt for a choice for sizes, styles, materials and function.
Mixer tap is the most used accessory in bathrooms and toilets all around the world. They efficiently mix and deliver hot and cold water of the desired temperature. With over 60 years of experience in sanitary ware, Caroma mixer taps has won several awards and it provides the most exquisite range of tap ware in Australia. In fact, many manufacturers offer highly durable and affordable to extremely high-end taps with 5 year’s guarantee against faulty taps and shower heads.
With recent concern over environment, global warming and depleting water tables, tap manufacturers have become conscious of saving water. Modern tap manufacturers offer extremely water saving taps and showerheads coupled with sleek design and their range include classic, contemporary, futuristic to European styles. Research is on to create taps that will automatically sense water leakages and stop the water supply.
Whatever the name: taps, mixer taps, faucets or valves, all are the marvels of modern living and sanitation. Without taps, it is not possible to take that exhilarating shower, the dip in the swimming pool, the lazy, warm bath in a bathtub, the spick and span toilets, the washing of clothes and dishes, and the fresh look of your beautiful garden.
