Water Faucets-The Best Choice for Your Reverse Osmosis System

Choosing the right faucet to work with a reverse osmosis water system is important. The right faucet provides high performance water flow, is attractive and is compatible with your RO system.



Homeowners install reverse osmosis water systems because the quality of drinking water is important to them. The next step is to make sure the water faucet is the best match for that filtration system. The faucet should offer a good strong water flow while being compatible with your system, yet it can be confusing trying to figure out which faucets will work with individual RO systems.

Upgrading Your Standard Water Faucet

Most reverse osmosis systems come with a standard water faucet but with a little information about your system you can easily install a more efficient and attractive faucet. The most important factor to consider is compatibility with your existing system.

First, establish whether you have an air-gap or a non air-gap system in your house. An air-gap system will allow you to use any type of faucet. Non air-gap systems will only work with a faucet that is also non air-gap. The way to tell is by checking the hoses on the bottom of the faucet; an air-gap system will have three hoses attached. The air-gap system, which is a back flow prevention device, has a ‘gap’ in the drain line. This gap prevents household waste from getting into the reverse osmosis system. The distributors of the water filtration system can offer assistance with determining what type of system you have and can recommend the best replacement for your existing faucet.

How to Improve Water Flow with Your RO System

Many homeowners replace the water faucet or add an additional one exclusively for their RO system. For replacement options you can check with local suppliers or check with a company dealing in water filtration systems; they have a variety of faucets in styles and finishes to complement most kitchen décor.

Faucets for reverse osmosis systems tend to have a very slow flow rate which is frustrating for homeowners. The RO water is drawn from a tank and can take up to 40 seconds just to fill a stew pot. The Tap Master Advanced Reverse Osmosis System has a one-way valve on its drain line, in place of a air-gap filter so users can pick from a wider range of suitable faucets. The makers of the Tap Master went a step farther and improved water flow rates for their system by developing the Fast Flow RO!™ kit. With this unique feature customers report a much faster rate of water flow and the freedom to use any type of high-quality faucet.
