Description
Most kitchen taps give you one kind of water and no choice about it. You cook with the same stream you would not drink from without thinking, and the filter lives in a jug somewhere behind the coffee machine.
This tap collapses those two fixtures into one deck-mounted body. The spout is a pull-down head with two outlets: the standard aerated stream for filling a pot, and a filtered stream for drinking, coffee, and anything that will not be boiled afterwards. A valve inside the body routes between them, so switching is a turn of the handle rather than a walk to the fridge. The body and spool are brass, brushed rather than plated, with a ceramic cartridge under the handle and a flexible spout that rotates a full 360 degrees.
It installs through a single hole with a dual-handle control for hot and cold, and comes in matte black, chrome, brushed nickel, and brushed golden so the finish can be matched to the sink rather than the other way round. Pressure control is by valve, which means the flow is adjustable rather than binary.
Two streams, one tap, no second fixture to find space for.

Where It Reads Best
It suits kitchens where the drinking water supply is a jug because there is no room, and where a second tap was never going to be plumbed in. The filtered line handles kettle filling, coffee, and drinking glasses, while the main stream keeps full pressure for pots and washing up. The matte black and brushed nickel finishes sit best on a dark or brushed sink; chrome and brushed golden read better against light stone or stainless.
Questions, Answered
Q: Does the filter come included?
A: The tap includes the internal filtration line and valve assembly. Filter cartridges are a consumable item and are replaced on the schedule your local water quality suggests, typically every three to six months.
Q: Will it fit a standard sink hole?
A: It is a single-hole deck mount, which is the common configuration for kitchen sinks. If your sink uses a three-hole spread, this tap covers the centre hole and you would blank the remaining two.
Q: Is the filtered water line separate from the main line?
A: Yes. Two outlets run through the same spout with a valve selecting between them, so the filtered line is not passing through the same path as the unfiltered water.
Q: What pressure does it need?
A: It runs on normal domestic mains pressure. The control is a pressure-operated valve rather than a simple on-off, so flow can be trimmed down without the tap dripping at the closed point.
Q: Which finish is most durable?
A: Brushed nickel and matte black both hide scratches and water spotting best. Polished chrome looks sharpest when new but shows every fingerprint, and brushed golden sits between the two.
Q: Is hot and cold control really needed on a filter tap?
A: It is, because the filtered line is used for both cold drinking water and hot water for tea or cooking. Dual handles let you set each independently rather than fighting a single mixer lever.
Q: How is the filter changed?
A: The cartridge sits in the line below the spout and is unscrewed by hand once the supply is shut off at the isolation valve. No specialist tool is needed, and the job takes a few minutes.
Q: Will the brushed finish scratch around the base?
A: Brushed surfaces are far more forgiving than polished chrome because scuffs break up in the grain rather than catching the light. Wipe along the brush direction with a soft cloth and avoid abrasive pads.
