Everything you Need to Know about Air Gap Filter Faucets

In today's rapidly advancing world, we are surrounded by innovative tools that enhance efficiency and simplify our lives. This progress is evident in various sectors, including kitchen and bath products. At Kingston Brass, we pride ourselves on offering a diverse range of air gap filter faucets designed to meet all your water filtration needs.

So, what exactly is an air gap faucet and how does it work?

While similar to traditional filtration faucets, air gap filter faucets are specifically designed for use with under sink reverse osmosis units. These faucets not only deliver high-quality drinking water from the reverse osmosis (RO) unit to the spout but also incorporate an essential air gap feature in the drainage system.

An air gap serves as a siphon or vacuum break, preventing drain water from flowing backward from the household drain system into the reverse osmosis unit. The air gap faucet consists of three separate tubes. The long blue tube is responsible for delivering the purified water, also known as "permeate," to the tall spout when you turn on the faucet. The two smaller tubes are designed to eliminate waste water produced by reverse osmosis systems. These tubes are connected to the drain pipes under your sink, ensuring a smooth elimination process.

If you experience water leakage on your countertop or sink from the air gap faucet, it is usually due to a blockage or obstruction in the drain line, which is one of the smaller tubes. This blockage can be caused by small scraps of food or other debris. Fortunately, resolving this issue is simple. Just detach the drain line at the bottom and remove the obstruction, restoring the proper functioning of the faucet.
