@dani_designstyle's pot filler in kitchen

You’re craving a kitchen upgrade and you want to know if a pot filler is a good addition to your space. Installing this additional faucet comes with a lot of conveniences, but it’s not always right for every kitchen. We’re here with the pros and cons to help you decide.

Pro: A Faster Fill. 

A pot filler flows at about 4 gallons per minute, which is more than double the rate of a traditional sink faucet. This lets you fill those larger pots quicker so you can get to cooking. 

Con: Lack Of Drainage. 

There is no drainage installed with a pot filler, so leaks or spills can be a headache. Luckily, Delta pot fillers come with dual shut off valves for additional control. 

Pro: Extra Water Sources. 

When you have a sink hog or just 15 things going at once, it can be frustrating to wait for water. A pot filler gives you the added convenience of another faucet when you need it. 

Con: Extra Water Line Installation.

A pot filler installation does require running a waterline to the area. This can be straightforward, but does add additional costs to a renovation. They do add value when it comes to reselling your home, but should be considered if you’re on a tighter budget. 

Pro: Professional Look And Convenience. 

As kitchens get larger and more professional grade, a pot filler can add much needed convenience to the space. Our focus has turned more to the quality of food we serve and we want our tools to match. This extra faucet streamlines the process. 

Con: Check Your Priorities.

Not everyone loves being in the kitchen and some spaces are too small to make the journey from the sink inconvenient. Kitchens should function for your lifestyle and not just from trend to trend. So consider how a pot filler will work with your everyday needs.

We love a pot filler. It adds wow-factor to a space instantly. But we know that it’s not for every space or every lifestyle. Read even more about the Delta pot filler faucets or see what else Delta has to offer in the kitchen.
