You’re remodeling your home and have finally made the decision to add something more than just a kitchen faucet to do more than needed. Maybe you want to choose something that has more utility and less hassle.

No fret, pot fillers are the way to go. It’s the kind of product that fits the description of having great utility, while also looking stylish in the kitchen. Over the years now, fillers have been increasingly popular and are now becoming a must-have item for homeowners. With a pot filler, you’ll have less difficulty filling a “pot” with water. No more need for a kitchen faucet, all you have to do is sit a pot down on a stove or wherever, and voila, no hassle.

What are some of the regular uses of a pot filler? Because of its intuitive design, pot fillers tend to be very easily accessible. For those of us who have problems with our joints, a pot filler relieves stress on tired hands, backs, and arms. Aside from the ease-of-use operation, a pot filler can help you save time and free up space in the sink to wash produce and clean your dirty dishes. As the name is given, it is used for filling up pots or large containers. This is great for adding water to make pasta, soups, stews, etc. This works well when preparing a large meal for a party, group of friends, or even just for the family.

When is it not a good time to have a pot filler? Usually people who buy pot fillers buy them in addition to their regular kitchen faucet. For people with smaller kitchens, this may not be ideal, as you may need to make room for another area to use the pot filler, which can cause a crowded kitchen. Pot fillers are not for everyone and fulfill specific needs for the kitchen, and sometimes do not work as well as a kitchen faucet in certain situations.

How does it look in the kitchen? The design of pot fillers consists of a jointed arm which can retract and extend. When fully extended pot fillers can reach an outward distance of 20 inches from the wall. The main technical features of the filler, such as the shut-off valve and any other additional valves are usually hidden behind a wall, away from plain site.

The kitchen doesn’t have to be a stressful place, so don’t wear yourself out. A pot filler can ease some of the laborious work away while in the kitchen. Aside from being a useful item, its design is surely to be the envy of your guest and visitors.
