The secret of a functional kitchen that is friendly to household members and the environment lies not only in well-thought-out design and modern household appliances, but also in various types of accessories that complement water installations. Although many such additional devices or elements cannot be seen with the naked eye, their impact on work comfort and water consumption is significant. Which plumbing accessories for the kitchen are worth choosing? Onninen advisors have several suggestions for you. Some kitchen accessories may surprise you...

Control your hood conveniently with a remote control
A high-quality hood is an essential element of every kitchen equipment. This device is responsible for absorbing moisture and odors from cooking. Thanks to the hood, water vapor, grease particles and other dirt cannot be deposited on the furniture and, as a result, it cannot be saturated with kitchen odors, contaminated, discolored or prematurely destroyed.
Traditional, manual control of the hood can be quite burdensome, especially when the device is located at a considerable height or access to it is difficult for another reason. And this is where... a remote control for the hood comes in handy. The remote control allows you to use the hood in an easy, comfortable and modern way. It makes preparing meals much more enjoyable. You finally stop exercising to set the necessary program on the hood.
The remote control is used in ceiling, island and built-in hoods. To use the remote control function, you must purchase an appropriate hood model and a compatible remote control (sometimes it is included with the hood). If you already have a hood with a remote control function in your kitchen, so you only need a remote control, be sure to contact the seller to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
True comfort in the kitchen with a kitchen soap or liquid dispenser
Do you always have containers or bottles of dish soap and hand soap at the back of the sink in your kitchen? Are you annoyed that they constantly fall over, often fall into the sink when washing dishes, and are constantly covered with a layer of grease and dust? This image goes against the idea of a modern, functional and comfortable kitchen, doesn't it? Forget about unsightly and bulky bottles! It's time to install a dish soap dispenser - an extremely useful addition to the sink.
A large container, made of plastic, is discreetly hidden under the sink. Only the decorative element of the product with an elegant spout is visible. Nowadays, there are dispensers that can be conveniently filled from the top, so you won't have to dive into the cabinets under the sink. You can pour soap or dishwashing liquid into the container, depending on what you use more often in the kitchen.
What savings can be achieved by using an aerator in a kitchen faucet?
Kitchen faucets are becoming more and more technologically advanced and visually refined devices. Many people use the sink as often or even more often than the bathroom sink. Manufacturers of kitchen fittings compete with each other in creating solutions that are as comfortable, designer and ecological as possible. The basic element of every eco-friendly kitchen faucet is the aerator.
It is a small, round cap located at the end of the spout. It has a strainer structure. It is most often made of corrosion-resistant plastic, such as polypropylene or polyethylene. The aerator aerates the water stream, thanks to which much less water is used when washing dishes - on average up to 5 l/min. It is very important that the faucet with an aerator does not excessively inhibit the water flow, as this would slow down the filling of large pots and vessels.
Therefore, before purchasing an aerator, you should carefully analyze the required throughput. You don't know how much to reduce the water flow? Contact us. We will be happy to advise you on how to save water without sacrificing the comfort and efficiency of kitchen work. Remember that the aerator is installed after turning off the water supply (turn off the valve).
Application and use of a sink faucet handle in the kitchen
To maximize the functionality of the sink area, a kitchen faucet with a pull-out spout can be equipped with a special, ergonomic handle. A simple, relatively inexpensive addition can make washing dishes, especially large ones, incredibly easier. It provides flexibility when filling the kettle and containers on the counter and allows you to thoroughly clean the sink.
Sink faucet handles differ in their properties and functions and are available in many patterns and colors, which allows the product to be perfectly tailored to individual needs and habits and to be coherently integrated into the kitchen decor. Additional amenities the handle can have include: function switch button (narrow/focused stream and wide/dispersed stream).
This solution significantly increases the convenience of using the fittings and gives precise control over the water flow. Many handle models offer standard connections, guaranteeing adaptation to any hose dedicated to kitchen taps. One end of the hose is attached to the water system and led through the faucet, and the other end is screwed to the handle. When choosing a handle, be sure to pay attention to its quality, including the material it is made of. The reliability, durability and strength of the product depend on it.
