Since the founding of Atelier 19g in 2016, we have received a huge number of requests for the repair of mechanisms of other manufacturers or the sale of spare parts for them. The problem was that our parts do not fit the mechanisms of other manufacturers.
Over and over again, we have proven that we make the best product, and this article is written for two reasons:
The first thing I want to start with is the material. The mechanism is made of AISI-304 stainless steel. It has high corrosion resistance in aggressive environments, high resistance to oxidation and is resistant to the negative effects of water (salt, fresh, tap). When choosing a material, we focused on safety and durability.
- we are proud of our product;
- we want to convey to people the value that we ourselves bring to it.

But we did not come to steel immediately. Initially, we used brass for our Rinsers. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, which has excellent performance and easy to process. The last point played a cruel joke with us: sometimes users had a screw breakage (photo 1), which could not withstand the load when the force was applied unevenly while rinsing the pitcher.
This was not an unsolvable problem, since from the very beginning, we introduced a lifetime warranty on our rinsers. And therefore, end users received the necessary spare parts as quickly as possible and free of charge, no matter in which city or country they were located. But conclusions have been drawn. Now only steel is used in the production, and no breakdowns.
Now let's explain the principle of the rinser’s action. The screw in photo acts as the front door, propped up from the outside: while we're not using the rinser, the water pressure in the system keeps it closed, but when we press down on the pitcher from above, we "open the door from the inside" to the flow of water.
Let's dwell on this separately, because. there were cases when, due to the strong pressure of tap water, some components of the mechanisms of their rinzers (not of our production) were torn off. In our case, this can be excluded, since the stronger the water pressure, the more it blocks its way. Tightness is ensured by a rubber ring threaded onto the screw.
The whole mechanism consists of seven threaded connections, which makes it possible to be confident in the strength of the structure, and if necessary, easily replace selected parts without resorting to replacing the entire mechanism (since there were cases when our customers requested spare parts as a result of the loss of some parts of the rinser, for example, when “relocating” their project).
As for the pins and why there are five of them. Perhaps everything is extremely simple here. Four is a little, six is a lot. In this case, a lot is not bad, but an additional pin would increase the final cost for the consumer, but would not bring any improvement. I would also like to note the case that even having lost one pin, our partners quite successfully used the Rinzer until they contacted us and received the missing one.
