You may have heard us mention 3 ways taps several times in the past but not really been too sure what they actually entail. So what is a 3 way tap and what are the benefits?
What is a 3 way tap?
A 3-way (triflow) kitchen tap connects to an under sink water filtration system and dispenses filtered cold water, unfiltered hot water, and unfiltered cold water from a single tap. These are oftened installed alongside a water softenening system to enable you to have softened hot and cold water whilst still have a filtered hard water drinking feed. A quality three way mixer tap has separate lines inside that eliminates the possibility cross contamination.
What are the benefits?
Whilst standard filter taps are installed on your kitchen sink by drilling another hole in it, 3-way triflow kitchen taps just replace your regular kitchen tap. This enables your kitchen to have a much sleeker and neater design without the need for extra holes or taps in your sink unit or worktop.
What filtration products are available?
As part of our standard water softener installation, you would normally get an inline water filter cartridge system which feeds into a seperate mini tap. Obviously, by opting for a 3 way tap instead you can still have the inline water filter cartridge system, just into the one tap instead. For a better level of filtration you can also opt for a Reverse Osmosis water filtration unit. These fit under your kitchen sink and will prove the drinking water feed with pure, filtered water. We have a range of both inline cartridge and Reverse Osmosis systems available to choose from.
What 3 way taps can you install?
We have a variety of 3 way taps available with a finish and price to suit everyone. One of our more popular brands is APL as they come in at a great price point with two styles and finishes available. We also stock the Franke range of 3 way taps which offer various styles and finishes to fit in with your kitchen design.
