Even though Australian water has some of the highest standards in the world there are still some particles that are found in our water and the level of particles only increases with the use of bore water. It has been shown by cardiologists that these particles can have health implications over a lifetime of exposure, often affecting the body’s circulatory and digestive systems.
This dilemma has meant that people want to have filtered water in their homes. However currently the main examples either hang from the faucet which creates an unsightly and cumbersome feature in the kitchen, or the instillation of a filtration system that is plumbed in. This instillation is expensive as it requires a licenced professional to install.
This is where the Filtered Water Faucet comes in as it sits in-between these two solutions, it is a faucet where all the filtering is done within the faucet meaning that there is no under bench additions or anything hanging from the faucet. This gives the user the benefits of having filtered water at both the fraction of the cost as well as removing any unsightly gadgets.
The Filtered Water Faucet is an innovation all of its own as it takes both the functionality of a filtration system and the aesthetics of a high end designer faucet and combines them together, giving the user the best of both worlds.
The way that the faucet body is constructed is innovative as well, as it takes a new technique developed by Heriot-Watt University. This technique allows for metal and glass to be welded together removing the need for any seals or sealants that not only take away from the aesthetic of the product but also its longevity.
The outcome is a product that fulfils the user requirements of having filtered water in the home. While reducing the cost to obtain and maintain, the faucet still delivers a faucet with aesthetics that can match high end designer faucets that don’t have the functionality of water filtration.
