ALL ZOMODO faucets are made from 100% SUS304 or 316 stainless steel
Q: SO WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STAINLESS STEEL AND BRASS FAUCETS?
Health & Safety
- Stainless steel is lead-free → safe for drinking water.
- Brass may contain small amounts of lead, even if labelled “low-lead.”
Durability
- Stainless steel is harder and stronger → lasts longer in busy kitchens.
- Brass is softer and can wear out faster.
Corrosion Resistance
- Stainless steel resists rust and corrosion very well.
- Brass can corrode over time (dezincification).
Hygiene
- Stainless steel is non-porous → easier to clean, bacteria don’t stick.
- Brass can tarnish and hold more grime.
Safety Standards
- Stainless steel often meets stricter safety certifications without coatings.
- Brass usually needs plating (nickel, chrome, etc.), which can wear off.
Sustainability
- Stainless steel is 100% recyclable.
- Brass is recyclable too, but harder to process because of lead content.
Style
- Stainless steel → modern, sleek look.
- Brass → traditional, classic look.
Cost
- Stainless steel faucets cost more upfront, but last longer.
- Brass is cheaper but may not be as safe or durable.
Q: MY ZOMODO SINK SHOWS SCRATCHES SHORTLY AFTER INSTALLATION. WHAT CAN I DO?
- All stainless steel will scratch, especially high-lustre finishes like Cayman, Montego, and Integrato.
- That’s why every Zomodo sink includes a Sink Care Pack (polishing cream, oil, and scouring pads).
- Use this kit to buff out early scratches and keep your sink shiny.
- Over time, scratches blend into a natural finish called a patina. The sink will look slightly softer, but scratches become less noticeable.
- Additional cleaning products can be purchased in our Section.
Q: WILL MY PEARLARC COLOURED SINK SCRATCH? WILL THE COLOUR COME OFF?
- Yes, all stainless steel scratches. PearlArc sinks are no different.
- Unlike coatings (paint, powder coating, plating), PearlArc is infused into the steel at the molecular level.
- Scratches will stay in the same colour (not silver underneath).
- Over time, your sink will develop a coloured patina that blends scratches into the finish.
- We recommend to read about the so a basic understanding of the colouring and protective scratch resistant process.
Q: I ORDERED A ZOMODO PRODUCT AND IT HASN’T ARRIVED. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
- Please contact the retailer or wholesaler where you placed your order.
- If the product is on back order, they should be able to give you an estimated delivery date.
