A home kitchen faucet with a filter is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to ensure that all the water you drink in your home is safe and healthy. With today’s pollution, a filtration system is something every home should have. Here are some things you should probably know before getting one.
1. Some types of household kitchen faucets with filter systems do not produce ideal drinking water. For example, reverse osmosis and distillation systems do not produce quality drinking water because they take away all the natural minerals (which our bodies need for multiple reasons). It’s a bit ridiculous how the manufacturers of these systems market their products as the perfect residential unit when they are clearly only appropriate for use in the fields of photography, printing, and medicine.
2. Make sure the manufacturer provides proper documentation demonstrating the performance and efficiency of the system.Often, you will come across a company that makes these amazing claims about the filtered kitchen faucet, but when you get it, it doesn’t do the job. The best systems will provide documentation proving these claims are true, and both the documentation and the system itself will be certified by a trusted and respected regulatory agency.
3. Always check how much it costs to use a filtered kitchen faucet after you buy it.Many manufacturers sell their products based on the old camera business model: they sell the initial system (or camera) cheap and make up for the rest with sales of filter cartridges (or film). To calculate the cost of use, take how much the filter cartridge costs and divide it by how many days or gallons it filters. The lower the number you get, the better!
4. More expensive does not mean more cash.Most manufacturers of home kitchen faucets with filter systems believe that consumers will pay more for their product because it bears their name. Sometimes it will even cost less to produce, and they will still charge more for it!
5. The best way to get a good deal on a home kitchen faucet with strainer is to buy it direct from the factory.Online, you can often find that manufacturers will sell their systems at deeply discounted prices because you’re buying directly from them. Doing this only saves me about 20%!
