When looking at your kitchen sink, you may not think that there's anything to it. You notice that there's a handle and a faucet, which allows water to flow out. You can adjust the knob to gain hot or cold water. You might be surprised to learn that there are other additions that can be made to your kitchen sink, including adding a new tap. Why would you want to do this?

Water taps allow for filtered water entering your home and giving you options for purified water. If you are avoiding your home's water for drinking, it's likely because there are contaminants floating around, it's cloudy, or it just has an unpleasant flavor. Whatever the reason may be, a water filtration system can solve the problem. In doing so, you'll need to choose the type of tap you'd like to install. Let's go through some of the top options that you can include at your home.

Boiling/ Chilled

One of the most common taps chosen is the boiling-chilled combination. You can also choose one or the other. This is the most common as everyone enjoys having hot water or cold water on tap. If these are preferred for you either for cooking or drinking, you may find that it's easier to have this tap installed than any other.

Sparkling

Are you looking to curb your spending on sparkling water? If you're an avid sparkling water drinker, having sparkling water on tap may make sense. However, you'll need to make some accommodations for sparkling water as it requires an added element, CO2. The CO2 is what causes the sparkling effect and is necessary for operation. This is also an added cost that homeowners will incur, but if you're saving money on purchasing sparkling water, it can make sense to just go ahead with the installation.

Ambient

Ambient water is just lukewarm. This is great for people that are tepid water drinkers or aren't concerned with the chilling aspect. Ambient water filters are also the most economical choice. There are fewer complications that can go wrong, and simply perform the necessary functions of filtering your water for better quality.

Combinations

We've already reviewed the boiling, chilling taps that are available, but there are many more combinations available. You can get ambient plus chilled, boiling plus sparkling, etc. Whatever your preference may be, they likely have a product available for you.
