Kitchen faucets
Most frequently asked questions
-
Does the water pressure in the apartment matter when choosing a kitchen faucet?
Yes, especially if the pressure is low. Some models, particularly those with a spray function or a pull-out spout, may perform poorly if the pressure is too low. It is worth checking this before purchasing.
-
How to check if a faucet will fit my sink without a plumber's help?
Measure the mounting hole diameter and check exactly where the water from the spout hits. These two parameters are enough to choose a matching model.
-
What is an aerator in a faucet used for, and can it be removed?
The aerator mixes water with air, which reduces consumption and splashing. It can be easily unscrewed if it needs to be cleaned or replaced.
-
Can you install a kitchen faucet yourself without voiding the warranty?
Yes, as long as the installation was performed according to the instructions. However, it is worth keeping the proof of purchase and the assembly description in case of a complaint.
-
Flexible spout or classic – which is more durable and easier to maintain?
Flexible provides more comfort during washing up, but it can wear out over time. A classic spout usually wins if you care about durability and ease of cleaning.
