Foundation Warentest: Pollutants at IKEA Kitchen Faucet
The Kitchen Mixer Nyvattnet is not recommended by the Stiftung Warentest. With a comprehensive investigation of various taps of different manufacturers, the model of IKEA came on the second last place . Due to pollutants, the valve was evaluated with "poor (5.0)" with "poor (5.0)".
After 16 weeks of use, a lot of nickel could be detected, which is questionable for drinking water . It looks much better in the areas of copper and lead. As far as arsenic, antimony and bismuth is concerned, the foundation was nothing to complain about the kitchen faucet of IKEA.

Even worse than Nyvattnet, the model Minta of the manufacturer GROHE has truncated. Although significantly more expensive with around 150 euros, the result is ultimately "deficient (5.5)". Again, nickel represents a big problem. In addition, an increased amount of lead was found during commissioning. In the further course of the examination, the lead limit values were kept again (Source: Foundation Warentest).

IKEA and GROHE: Where does the nickel come from in the faucet?
Residues of nickel were detected in several models. Here, a chromium-nickel layer is responsible. If this is not so clean here, then the layer is not only out of the outside, but also inside. So ultimately, a direct contact with the drinking water is concluded, which in turn can be problematic for people with a nickel allergy. Allergic reactions like rashes are sometimes the result.
