[0027] Currently, some faucets on the market are equipped with filter cartridges for filtration. When a faucet has two water outlets, it mostly uses a mechanical valve for control. Although this is cheaper, it lacks a sense of technology. Moreover, some existing faucets are equipped with external mineralizing filters, but these only have a single water outlet and cannot switch water flow modes according to actual needs. The constant flow of water also consumes the lifespan of the mineralizing filter, requiring users to replace it frequently, resulting in high application costs.
[0028] Therefore, this embodiment provides a faucet device, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the device includes a faucet body 100, within which a mineralization filter element 210 and an adsorption filter element 220 are disposed.

The mineralization filter element 210 is used to add an appropriate amount of minerals to the drinking water. The second water path provides users with mineralized water that is safe to drink. The adsorption filter 220 is used to adsorb impurities and remove odors from the water. In other words, the water from the second water path can be used for domestic water use. Users can switch between the two paths as needed via the electric valve 500. There is no need to install multiple faucets, making installation and use relatively convenient. When using domestic water, the lifespan of the mineralized filter is not consumed, and there is no need to frequently replace the mineralized filter 210.

The control module is equipped with a control switch. The water quality sensor can be a TDS sensor, or it can also be a pH sensor (provided when the mineralization filter 210 is an alkaline filter).
[0035] Optionally, the faucet body 100 is equipped with a display screen for displaying water quality information, and the display screen is connected to the control module. The display screen may have a first display area and a second display area. The first display area is used to display the pH value and / or TDS value upstream of the first water path and the second water path, and the second display area is used to display the pH value and / or TDS value downstream of the first water path and the second water path. Users can directly observe the dynamic changes in pH value and / or TDS value before and after flowing through the filter element in real time, and can judge the lifespan of the filter element based on the displayed pH value and TDS value, so as to facilitate timely replacement of the filter element.
[0036] Specifically, the control module can be electrically connected to push-button switches, touch switches, touch screens, etc., as operating control components.
