Do you have hard water supplied to your home? You need faucets that are resistant to avoid long-term problems. Here are the best kitchen faucets for hard water in 2020.
Hard water is simply water with a high level of dissolved minerals (usually calcium and magnesium). While it is generally safe to drink and has no immediate impact on equipment, limescale build-ups over time can create problems. The build-ups happen in the plumbing and consequently in faucet hardware. Today we’re going to talk about how to choose a kitchen faucet that would suffer the minimal impact of the drawbacks of hard water.
How can faucet hardware minimize the impact of hard water? The answer is simple – water filtering or Reverse Osmosis systems. Some kitchen faucets that we’re going to cover have a built-in filtering system, others are compatible with such systems installed under the sink.
What to look for in a kitchen faucet for hard water?
Consider these:
- Faucet dimensions that fit your furniture and hardware.
- Do you need a pull-down function?
- Do you need a separate faucet for drinking water?
- Do you need a mounting deck?
- Do you have a water filtering or Reverse Osmosis system installed?
- Can you install the faucet yourself or do you need to hire a plumber?
- Kitchen decor appeal.
