All-in-one faucet adds versatility in smaller kitchen – Seattle Times

A complete filtered-water kitchen sink faucet is designed to combine the benefits of a standard single-lever faucet with an option to deliver on-demand filtered water.

Q: Were planning to remodel our tiny kitchen. We can only fit a smaller one-bowl kitchen sink, but Id like to have some extra features. I remember in a past article you mentioned adding a filtered-beverage faucet to your kitchen sink. I like the idea of having filtered water for beverages and cooking, but I dont want to clutter my small sink area with two faucets. Do they make versatile kitchen faucets that also work like beverage faucets?

A: Many kitchens, especially in city areas, have limited sink space. So, it makes sense that there are a few faucet and add-on filter options you can follow up with at your local plumbing supply center.

Since you are remodeling and starting new, I recommend looking for a complete filtered-water kitchen sink faucet. These all-in-one kitchen faucets are designed to combine the benefits of a standard single-lever kitchen faucet with an option to deliver on-demand filtered water.

With the on-demand option, you can wash dishes and fill buckets with non-filtered water and only use the filtered water when needed for drinking and cooking. This can extend the life of the built-in filter cartridge and declutter your smaller sink area.

Even though an all-in-one kitchen faucet is pricey, it can be a clear choice for adding filtered water to your kitchen.
