Material Composition | Kitchens with frequent cleaning/chemicals | - Industry Standard: Stainless Steel + Silicone (ASTM F1929 compliant) - Our Base: Stainless Steel + PVC (ASTM D1784 verified) - Our Advanced: Stainless Steel + Silicone (ASTM F1929 compliant) ▲ | Advanced matches industry durability; Base offers cost savings. | PVC in Base may degrade over time; Advanced has higher upfront cost. |
Hose Flexibility | Reaching tight spaces (e.g., sink corners) | - Industry Standard: Bend Radius ≤5mm (ISO 3801) - Our Base: 15mm (ISO 3801) - Our Advanced: 8mm (ISO 3801) ▲ | Advanced improves maneuverability; Base suffices for basic tasks. | Base’s stiffness limits tight spaces; Advanced adds cost. |
Noise Level | Quiet environments (e.g., open-plan kitchens) | - Industry Standard: ≤40 dBA (IEC 60704-1, quieter than a whisper) - Our Base: 45 dBA (IEC 60704-1, comparable to a quiet room) - Our Advanced: 38 dBA (IEC 60704-1, quieter than refrigerator hum) ▲ | Advanced outperforms industry standards; Base meets basic needs. | Base may disrupt quiet spaces; Advanced requires better engineering. |
Chemical Resistance | Labs/kitchens with chemical exposure | - Industry Standard: Withstands 50+ chemicals (ASTM D543) - Our Base: Resists 20 chemicals (ASTM D543) - Our Advanced: Withstands 50+ chemicals (ASTM D543) ▲ | Advanced matches industry safety; Base adequate for light use. | Base may degrade with strong chemicals; Advanced costlier. |
Temperature Tolerance | Hot water use (e.g., dishwashing) | - Industry Standard: Up to 120°C (ISO 1817) - Our Base: Up to 60°C (ISO 1817) - Our Advanced: Up to 100°C (ISO 1817) ▲ | Advanced handles hotter water than Base; Base limited to cold uses. | Base may warp in hot water; Advanced still below top standards. |
Installation Complexity | DIY setups without professional tools | - Industry Standard: Requires professional tools (ANSI Z322) - Our Base: Requires 2 tools (ANSI Z322) - Our Advanced: Tool-free (ANSI Z322) ▲ | Advanced simplifies DIY installation; Base needs minimal tools. | Base installation may be time-consuming; Advanced adds cost. |
