Lemark kitchen faucet
Special features
Production of Lemark mixers is located in the Czech Republic, but the models and components for them were developed in Russia, taking into account the wishes and criticisms of sellers and buyers.
Before going on sale, all products undergo a bench check under water pressure of 9 atmospheres, which ultimately allows the manufacturer to give them a guarantee of 4 to 5 years. All products comply with European standards and meet the requirements of Russian State Standards 25809-96 and 19681-94, and also successfully passed the accreditation in the bodies of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision Agency.
Material
Lemark kitchen faucets are made from two types of materials - stainless steel and brass.
Stainless steel products have a reliable coating that prevents the development of bacteria, and protects them from cracks, scratches and other damage. This is usually chrome plating, but it can also be steel, bronze, copper and gold. The thickness of the steel allows you to withstand mechanical damage, and the impact of aggressive - alkaline and acidic - environments.
Lemark brass mixers produce much more than stainless steel. They are cheaper, and they are guaranteed for 4 years. Specially designed nickel-chrome plating meets the highest standards and makes Czech products competitive with products from other European manufacturers from Germany, Italy, Spain and Sweden.

Complete disassembly of the one-armed mixer
It often happens that even a good mixer begins to flow, and there is no time to call a specialist or it is inconvenient for some other reason. As a rule, repairing a one-armed mixer is not a big deal on your own; it’s enough to have a screwdriver and an adjustable wrench on hand and perform the following actions:
- Remove the mixer handle. To do this, close the shut-off valves, loosen the screw of the handle, remove the handle.
- Use a screwdriver to press the threaded ring, turn it counterclockwise;
- Carefully remove the chrome dome, remove the plastic ring from it to check the condition of the thread;
- Take out the thyroid plastic part and clean the seal. As a rule, the mixer flows when dirt collects under the seal.
- If it is not a pollution seal, you need to remove the ball from the socket and inspect it for contamination and damage. If it is damaged, you will have to install a new one. When replacing the ball, make sure that the recess on its right side hits the ledge at the top of the crane.
- Insert the thyroid part in place and follow the steps in the reverse order.
