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

Control your hood conveniently with the remote control
A high-quality hood is an essential piece of equipment for every kitchen. This device is responsible for absorbing moisture and odours from cooking. Thanks to the hood, there is no settling of water vapour, grease particles and other dirt on the furniture, and as a result - they do not soak up kitchen odours, become dirty, discolour and deteriorate prematurely.
Traditional, manual hood control can be quite inconvenient, 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, convenient and modern way. It makes preparing meals much more enjoyable. You finally stop struggling 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 the 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 the 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
Are there always containers or bottles of dishwashing liquid and hand soap on the back of your kitchen sink? Does it annoy you that they are constantly tipping over, often falling into the sink while washing dishes, and are constantly covered in a layer of grease and dust? Such an image contradicts the idea of a modern, functional and comfortable kitchen, right? Forget about unsightly and bulky bottles! It's time to install a dishwashing liquid dispenser - an exceptionally 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 are conveniently filled from above, so you don'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 you make 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 are competing in creating solutions that are as comfortable, designer and ecological as possible. The basic element of every pro-ecological kitchen faucet is the aerator.
This is a small, round attachment located at the end of the spout. It has a sieve structure. It is usually made of corrosion-resistant plastic, such as polypropylene or polyethylene. The aerator aerates the water stream, so much less water is used during washing dishes - on average up to 5 l/min. It is very important that the tap with an aerator does not excessively inhibit the flow of water, because this would slow down the filling of large pots and dishes.
Therefore, before purchasing an aerator, you should carefully analyze the required capacity. You do not know to what value 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 cutting off the water supply (the valve should be closed).
Application and use of the sink faucet handle in the kitchen
To maximize the functionality of the sink area, a kitchen tap with a pull-out spout can be equipped with a special, ergonomic handle. A simple, relatively inexpensive addition can make washing dishes incredibly easy, especially large ones. It provides flexibility when filling the kettle and containers on the countertop and allows for thorough cleaning of the sink.
Handles for sink faucets differ in their properties and functions and are available in many designs and colors, which allows for perfect matching of the product to individual needs and habits and its coherent integration into the kitchen decor. Additional conveniences of the handle may include, among others, a function switch button (narrow/focused stream and wide/dispersed stream).
This solution significantly increases the convenience of using the fittings and provides precise control over the water flow. Many models of handles offer standard connections, guaranteeing fit to any hose dedicated to kitchen taps. One end of the hose is attached to the water installation 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 this.
