Pot Fillers: 3 Things We Love

1. Aesthetics: They look beautiful and are a wonderful compliment to a true chef's kitchen! Go for contrast, we love seeing these in a finish that really stands out from the backsplash or feature wall. The cool articulated arm adds another unique design element that catches the eye.
2. Functional: Pot fillers have a higher flow rate than a standard kitchen faucet. Up to a rate of 4 gallons per minute, filling your pot 4x faster.
3. Convenient: It's cumbersome to fill pots of water and carry them to the stove. The pot filler is a perfect solution for this.
