Datura-07, from Ccoombs1's link: Do not consume water that has sat in your homeÂs plumbing for more than six hours. First, make sure to run the water until you feel the temperature change before cooking, drinking, or brushing your teeth, unless otherwise instructed by your utility. (emphasis mine) I would add, that what actually happens is that the water temperature changes twice b/f its ready to use.... I seem to recall reading somewhere that for a house w/the "average" amount of piping for water to flow through it takes somewhere b/w 1 & 2 minutes But, that was a long time ago so I may not remember correctly. I use the water temperature method. You can collect that water & use it to water plants (inside & outside)...that's what I usually do, especially in the summer when I have containers on the back deck & front porch. One thing to remember is that even if you have PVC piping, there are probably copper pipes leading into/out of your hot water tank and possibly the intake from your well or public water source. I think the person who put in a small chef's sink had a good idea. The pot filler wouldn't have to be right over it, as long as it could reach it easily it would be fine...so you get the look & functionality of a pot filler with the safety net of a drain. For leaks inside the wall...yes, there is a possibility of this and it's like a shower head that also comes directly from a wall... But, if you have access from the other side of the wall you may not have to disturb your tiled backsplash for repairs. That's assuming, of course, that your pot filler is on an inside wall. Oh! That brings up another point... If your pot filler is on an outside wall, be sure it is very well insulated to prevent the pipe from freezing & bursting! [For those of us who live in areas where we have below freezing temperatures.] BTW...it's not just pot fillers that are at-risk for overflowing...I did that once when I filled a pot next to my prep sink. The faucet head was docked on the edge of the pot to fill & I got distracted. The advantage I did have, though, is that w/the sink right there I could dump the excess water from the pot and "sweep" the overflowed water into the sink.

Kudzu, there are many posts in this thread, and other threads throughout GW on potfillers regarding how to avoid having the access to the shut-off valve walled in. “Trying to access plumbing from the underside is not going to be useful for most valves.” Most people have kitchen sinks, agreed? Access to shutoffs (hot and cold) is below the sink. Potfiller access can be the same (below the potfiller in a cabinet, or behind a drawer cabinet base. It’s not difficult. “For a pot filler, I'm simply saying that having it more accessible than in the wall is the choice I'd make.” Fully agree and it's the smart thing to do while installing one. Marcaevans, I wouldn’t want hot water at the potfiller. Hot water is handy for washing hands, dishes and rinsing dishes, but I never use it for cooking pastas, or adding to soups and stocks, or using in any of my cooking. Hot water is more likely to leach contaminants from the pipes. If I need hot water for cooking, I heat cold water on the stove or in the microwave. I really like your BBQ sink setup! Hduns, yep, it’s hard to find a deckmount PF in various styles and finishes!
