Tip of the Week

Price Pfister is a major faucet manufacturer renowned for developing uniquely graceful designs and technical innovations. Recently, the company developed a filtration faucet, known as the “Pfilter Pfaucet (what else?), that dispenses filtered water directly. You don’t have to buy any extra water purifying hardware or accessories. The filtering faucet pretty much looks and works like your standard kitchen faucet, except you can switch from unfiltered to filter mode just by pressing a button. You can do your everyday washing chores unfiltered, and save your filter for cooking and drinking.

In the filter mode, water is channeled through the replaceable filter in the faucet head itself. The water comes out of the spout filtered for taste and odor, with 95% of the chlorine removed. By the way, in case you were wondering, filtered water never comes in contact with the unfiltered. They flow their separate ways through two discrete channels engineered into the faucet heads. Naturally, the flow of filtered water will be slower than the unfiltered flow. It has to get through a tough filter, after all. Speaking of which, the average family should get about 200 gallons of water filtration to a cartridge. That works out to about three months.
