It is no secret that the quality of tap water is far from being as good as we would like. In order to solve this problem, many use additional equipment, such as separate taps through which purified water is supplied. However, not many people know that now you can make this process even more convenient, since mixers for the filter itself have appeared on sale. The undoubted advantage of this mixer is that now you can get already purified water through the main tap.
Aesthetics and functionality
Today, almost no one uses tap water for cooking, without first being purified.Ready-made purified water in containers is used less and less, because the cooler takes up a lot of space, which makes its use very inconvenient in a small kitchen. And even if the kitchen is spacious, it is not at all necessary that the cooler will fit into your interior, because it does not look very aesthetically pleasing.
Increasingly, when arranging a kitchen, systems are being installed for purifying water from the water supply itself, which is supplied through a tap for drinking water. The obvious disadvantage of this method is that two taps are placed on the sink: for domestic and drinking water. This design overloads the space, besides, it becomes much more inconvenient to use the sink.
How does a combination mixer work?
The body of such a mixer is equipped with an additional water pipe, which does not depend on the main one. Thanks to him, you can regulate the temperature and pressure of water, as well as supply purified drinking water. It should be noted that in this case, domestic water does not mix with drinking water. The faucet has two switches. When the left one is opened, purified water will flow, and if the right one is opened, household water will flow.
It should be remembered that during the supply of filtered water, the right valve must be closed. Benefits of a combination faucet:
- Instead of two taps, there will be one, which will add space to the sink.
- Such a crane looks quite aesthetically pleasing, and therefore will fit into your interior.
- Fairly simple installation.
- Access to purified tap water.
Mixer installation
Let's figure out how to install a combined crane. Its installation is practically no different from the installation of a conventional mixer.The only difference is that this faucet requires an additional connection of the filter itself to the faucet. Naturally, if you didn’t have a filter before, then you also need to connect it. Each combination mixer is sold with all necessary accessories.
In addition, the kit will contain detailed instructions for its use, so you can easily handle it yourself without spending money on the help of specialists.
