What makes these kitchen taps so unique is their versatile nozzle design. The nozzle can be pulled out to reveal a long flexible hose, allowing you to move the tap freely around the sink.

Single or dual flow kitchen taps
Some kitchen taps offer single flow operation and some are dual flow. Within a single flow tap, there is one channel mixing hot and cold water within the tap, a dual flow tap contains two channels which separates the hot and cold sources until they leave the tap. The benefit of this is a faster response changing between hot and cold water. A single flow tap will need to empty the existing water contained within the spout before responding.

There are various kitchen taps valve options which control the tap functionality. For single lever models, the lever controls the tap with two directional motions. Progressive Valve taps is the next generation of the single lever design where temperature and water pressure are controlled within a single motion. All other designs utilise either basic compression valves or more superior quarter turn valves which offer immediate response.

Single lever kitchen taps. A simple design whereby all functions are carried out by a single lever - left and right for temperature, up and down for pressure.

Progressive valve kitchen taps. This system provides simplified control. Moving the nozzle on the spout adjusts water flow, whilst a single lever releases cold, warm and then hot water in one progressive movement.

Bridge kitchen taps. A specialist design, bridge taps feature two legs that create a bridge-style shape. They are commonly used with ceramic farmhouse sinks.

Pillar taps. This style consists of individual hot and cold taps, each operated by a rotating turn-handle.

WATER FILTER TAPS

How healthy is your family's drinking water? Imagine having fresh, filtered, ready-to-drink water twenty four hours a day. Water filter taps deliver ordinary hot and cold tap water, as well as purified water from one single fitting. The third lever diverts water through the filter. Impurities often found in UK mains water such as chlorine, rust and sediment are removed by activated carbon media. Water filter taps can also improve the taste of your coffee and tea, as well as your cooking and baking.
Each filter cartridge will last approximately six months. The cartridge simply fits under the sink and is easy to change without tools.
Water filter kitchen taps technology
Our innovative Water filter kitchen taps are cleverly designed to deliver hot, cold and filtered water from one single fitting. As with conventional taps, hot and cold water is delivered using the standard controls.  An additional lever positioned on the front of our Flow taps allows you to select fresh, filtered water. When the lever is turned, water is diverted through a filter cartridge which uses activated carbon media to remove hidden impurities such as chlorine and rust. The result is clean, great-tasting water that can be enjoyed at any time.
