Pot Filler Faucets

03/01/2013

 
Pot filler faucets were once only used in commercial and high-end kitchens, but a number of manufacturers, like Delta, Moen, and Danze are offering convenient pot filler faucets that are wall-mounted and flexible enough to reach all the burners at several heights.  These newly designed faucets fold against the wall when not in use and can be turned on and off at either end of the faucet, making them safer and more convenient than their predecessors.  The faucets are also available in a number of different finishes to blend in perfectly with your kitchen.
 
 


Several manufacturers, like Grohe and InSinkerator, now offer faucets with chilled water, heated water or both.  The heated water is 200 degrees and only takes one minute to reset.  You can use the water to prepare instant soup, gravy, coffee, cocoa, and tea.  You can also melt chocolate, heat potpourri, cook instant rice & potatoes, remove labels, soak pots, polish silver, warm baby bottles, fill a hot-water bottle and heat frozen food in plastic pouches.  It's instant, so it's faster than either a stove or microwave.
The chilled water faucet will instantly give you cold water for drinking and filling up your water bottles and pet dishes.  You can mix orange juice, lemonade, ice tea and Kool-aid.  It's filtered water, so everything tastes great and because it's chilled, you'll need little or no ice cubes.  The faucets come in a variety of different styles and some companies offer as many as 11 different finishes so that they'll blend in with your other kitchen fixtures and the chiller/heaters fit compactly under the sink.  The unit is also economical to operate--a day's worth of heated water only uses the energy of a 40-watt bulb.

I never get tired of finding kitchen faucets to share with you all.  Here's one that is simple and practical yet stylish at the same time.

Price Pfister's Rembrandt Pull-out Kitchen Faucet has a bold, high-arc design unique for a pull-out faucet, allowing it to accommodate larger pots, similar to a more traditional pull-down style. The Rembrandt Kitchen Faucet can be mounted in one-, two-, three-, or four-hole configurations, to fit any kitchen sink, with matching soap dispenser on the two- and four-hole designs. Adding to its versatility is Rembrandt’s transitional style, which makes it easy to integrate into both traditional and more contemporary-remodeled homes.

Delta Faucets has recently introduced a new collection of bathroom faucets featuring a Touch 2Oxt™ Technology.  The faucet can be activated by a simple tap or touch, making it much easier to turn off water flow with messy hands or between tasks so water is conserved. The sleek design is attractive but the way this faucet functions is what sets it apart for sure.

In addition to this new technology feature Delta has incorporated another design with Touch 2Oxt Technology that enables you to activate the spout when it senses you near the spout OR letting you turn the water on and off with a simple tap anywhere on the spout or handle.

This new technology is being introduced into home bathroom remodels instead of just for commercial end use.  They are a great way to conserve water and save you money.
