How does a three-way kitchen faucet work?
A three-way kitchen faucet is an advanced device that allows you to control standard hot and cold water, and also gives you access to filtered water, which is better in taste, clean and safe for the body. The design of the three-way faucet includes one spout for three different water sources: hot, cold and filtered. There are independent pipes for individual types of water in the body. There are two separate circuits: one for hot and cold tap water, and the other for filtered water. Filtered water does not mix with mains water. This faucet has two separate handles to manage water distribution, which translates into precise control. Usually, the right handle controls the flow and temperature of hot and cold water.
Why choose a three-way kitchen faucet?
It is worth choosing a three-way kitchen faucet primarily because of the access to various types of water. To enjoy tasty filtered water in unlimited quantities at home, you no longer need to install a dedicated tap and, as a result, drill additional holes and perform other tedious and expensive installation work. You also stop using special jugs or filtering bottles. You simply drink water safely straight from the tap and pour it into glasses, water bottles, reusable bottles, etc. Purified water is as good in taste and rich in minerals as water sold in bottles. By giving up buying bottled water, you will save a lot of money each year and do something good for the environment. Aquarists also appreciate free access to filtered water at home.
Importantly, such advanced fittings do not differ visually from standard kitchen faucets, so you do not have to worry about the "technical" appearance of the sink area. You shouldn't have a problem finding a model that is stylistically consistent with your kitchen arrangement, especially if you choose a modern or minimalist design. The advantages of the product also include: quick and easy installation, versatility and simple, functional design. Many three-way models have a flexible or pull-out spout, which significantly increases the range of the water stream, improving the precision and comfort of washing dishes or filling large containers.
Three-way kitchen faucets are widely used in modern, ecological construction. They are often used in houses and apartments without access to high-quality water, where filters are a necessity. This type of fittings is also necessary in kitchens where reverse osmosis systems are used. The reverse osmosis process ensures effective elimination of chemical contaminants, bacteria and viruses from drinking water. It is a modern, effective and relatively inexpensive method.
What is the difference between a three-way kitchen faucet and a two-hole kitchen faucet?
A two-hole kitchen faucet may mean:
- a wall faucet that requires making two holes in the wall for its installation,
- a three-way faucet with two holes (taps).
When browsing three-way kitchen faucets, you will often come across the term double-circuit faucets, i.e. faucets equipped with two independent circuits. The two-circuit faucet is both a three-way model and an even more advanced four-way faucet that allows you to draw hot and cold water from the network as well as filtered water in two varieties, e.g. mineral water for drinking and distilled water for household appliances. As the name suggests, it has four water connections.
