Why Have A Pot Filler?
Comments (36)To pot fill or not to pot fill . . . The benefits of a pot filler far outweigh the cons for me. Here's why. Seven years ago I fell and fractured my RIGHT wrist while carrying our 15 month old DGD. I hit a small break in the sidewalk tripped and in trying to break our fall and protect her head, which thankfully I did, I broke my wrist and needed a steel plate put in to remedy the break. Two years ago I AGAIN fell on a rise on a sidewalk. This time watching our DGS ride his two wheeler without training wheels and not watching where I was walking. (I guess it's true you can't teach an old dog new tricks!) The result - a badly broken LEFT wrist. Three days later and just before surgery, I slipped on a throw rug and broke my RIGHT arm. The saga continues . . . Two days after surgery a tornado warning was issued and all patients were moved to a hallway where I was instructed to sit in a particular chair. I did so but unfortunately said chair, had unlocked casters and was in front of an open doorway . . . Yes, indeed, the chair flew through the door and I fell landing on my already broken arm! No wonder my DF jokingly called me "Grace"! Now NOT having to lift and carry any size pot of water to the stove is a plus. Chances are I would spill some water, slip on it and, well, you get the not so pretty picture! I don't worry about leaking pipes we used an excellent plumber, our DSIL, and top notch materials. So while a pot filler might not be for everyone they suit me just fine. Oh, and as for emptying, I don't. Whatever we are cooking is usually served in small bowls and easily managed and what is left is stored the same way. As far as I am concerned our pot filler is a life saver - especially since the life it saves could be my own! Sorry my reply is so long! ~ Nonnyx2...See MoreDeck-mounted Pot Filler
Comments (8)I'm not trying to be smart, I really want to know if this is something that should become a part of our kitchen - can someone help me to understand why you need a pot filler? To me, the issue really isn't filling a pot and putting it on the burner, but more taking it off if it's full of hot water. I mean, even if I have a pot filler to fill it initially, ultimately I still need to move the heavy pot to the sink to drain out the water, right? Is there something I'm overlooking?...See MoreHow do you like your pot filler??
Comments (13)I had one in the last kitchen. It was great. Once one of the seals failed, but it was only when I turned it on, and it wouldn't turn off, but just went to a drip. So, I turned off it off at the shut off valve, put a pot under it, called the manufacturer, they sent the O-ring. Which didn't fix it, so they sent me a new faucet. Never happened again. As for the lack of drain argument, do people have drains under the refrigerator if they have water in the door? I never have. The argument about having to carry the hot water to the sink, is not really a good argument against the pot filler. I for one did not ever dump hot water out of the pot when making pasta. Usually use a strainer to scoop out pasta. The amount of water that would be left in the pot is not that heavy for cleaning up. And I never dump my soup out. It is ladled out of the pot into bowls for serving. And then to clean it up, it is ladled into containers and sent to freezer or refrigerator and I carry the empty pot to the sink. I would absolutely do another one if needed. I did not do one in this kitchen because I have a prep sink located right behind the range on the end of the island. Last house only had one sink, it was very helpful. And by the time the new kitchen had 3 sinks planned for it, I'm not sure I could have convinced anyone that having a pot filler was necessary!...See MoreAnyone have a counter mounted pot filler?
Comments (21)You are correct Pirate Foxy. Plus often that big pot of water becomes soup which is ladled from the pot and eaten and later ladled into smaller pots or containers for later. A pot of water is not just for pasta. Even for pasta much of it is absorbed or evaporated. Our pot filler is not going next to or near the range at all. It's too far a reach for me behind the range and too tall to place under the cabinets. So we have rehomed it to go on the other side of the kitchen. Purpose is to have an unsoftened source of filtered water for cooking, making coffee and tea, filling water pitchers and dog bowls. Get rid of the bottled water , at long last....See MoreRelated Professionals
