The newest trend in drinking water are faucets that deliver great-tasting, quick flowing, filtered water and regular tap water from a single faucet. This new innovation allows home-owners to use one faucet for filtered drinking water, cooking water and tap water, without worrying about unwanted chemicals like chlorine, mercury, and lead.
Although filtered water sink add-ons have been around for many years, most seem to be bulky and don’t necessarily fit into a typical kitchen design so seamlessly. However when the faucet has a 2-in-1 feature that allows for installation directly underneath the sink, the result is a faucet that delivers tap water when needed, as well as great tasting, safe drinking water.
A great example of this is the Pfister Xtract which uses GE’s 2X High Flow Filtration System. The groundbreaking system has a replaceable and recyclable dual filter that is easy to install and lasts up to six months. One of the best features that separates Xtract from other filtered water systems is that it’s twice as fast as typical water filter products. This means that you can use filtered water for cooking as Xtract’s filters don’t drastically slow down water flow or test your patience.
The innovative Xtract faucet design has only one waterway – the filtered water comes out of the same spray-head as the non-filtered water. This allows twice the flow rate, meaning it flows two-times faster than most filtration systems, like refrigerator filters or separate sink add-on filters. For filtered water, it’s as simple as pushing the handle back to activate the filter mode.
