Installing a water filtration system that is capable of effectively removing all harmful contaminants is still the primary goal for most homes, but having limited options for water filtration faucets that don’t fit perfectly into the design of your kitchen or color scheme could be quite an annoying problem. . Especially if the water filtration faucet is not flexible enough to adapt to the existing configuration of your kitchen appliances and accessories. Apart from spending on the water filtration unit itself, you still need to shell out a large sum of money to modify your kitchen to accommodate the water filtration faucet. If the cost of the modification is more than the water filter itself, will you proceed to purchase the water filter?
A thoughtful manufacturer of a good water filter, keeping up with today’s consumer lifestyle, must anticipate this problem and provide a range of accessories that can fit into various designs. For example; Brushed nickel and brushed chrome finishes for a contemporary kitchen design, antique brass or copper and polished brass for a classic kitchen design, and glossy white or black for a modern, high-tech kitchen design.
Not only are the finishes of these water filtration faucets carefully chosen, but the physical outlook of the faucets must be practical and versatile to suit all conceptual designs. The dimension of other mounting accessories is flexible in design so that it can hold the faucet firmly and securely and can be fixed on different thicknesses of the kitchen surface. Make use of standard cookware manufacturers’ layout, such as fitting into holes for the sprayer, soap dispenser, or an existing stopper.
We must never neglect the internal mechanism of these faucets; like the internal valve for a smooth and effortless on/off motion. If a high-quality porcelain internal valve is used, we can be sure that this faucet will have a long service life. Therefore, it requires less maintenance or replacement, no O-rings or washers to replace, and no mineral buildup issues. Internal parts must not use lead components, as the constant movement or wear process can cause lead to mix with the water supply, which was originally what we intended to filter.
Try to avoid any water filtration unit where you have to put the filter on your kitchen faucet. Not only does it take up prime space on your kitchen counter, it also collects dirt and stains, making kitchen counter cleaning a more tedious and frequent chore.
Installation is another aspect that we should not take lightly, even the installation tools are included in the package. If the installation tools are provided, they not only add to the actual cost of the water filter unit, replacement could be another problem you have to solve. with. I always prefer to use readily available tools like pliers and a screwdriver and installation should take about 30 minutes, you can do it yourself and incur no extra plumbing costs.
I must remind you again, the only periodic replacement cost you incur is the filter cartridges, not the water filtration faucet or connection fittings, nor the cost of installing the water filtration itself. On top of that, you should never decide on a water filtration system based on its attractive appearance alone. It should work well to effectively remove all harmful contaminants, leave traces of minerals and offer a wide range of faucets to fit your kitchen design in a practical and stylish way.
