About Sanitary faucet Keran Sanitasi

Keran sanitasi adalah keran minimalis yang dirancang untuk membuat penggunaan air menjadi terlihat. Bagian keluaran air berfungsi langsung sebagai sakelar. Menekan bagian keluaran ke bawah dan memiringkannya akan membuka keran, sedangkan mengangkatnya kembali ke posisi datar akan menutupnya. Air terus membilas tangan selama keran ditutup, sehingga tangan tetap bersih. Sebuah tabung kaca menyimpan air yang cukup bagi satu orang untuk mencuci tangan, sehingga jumlah air yang digunakan dapat terlihat. Tabung kaca ini juga memperlambat aliran air. Keran ini dibuat dari pipa besi tuang dan kaca.
