Filler for large pots
Comments (2)For annuals in big pots that don't need all that root depth, you can fill up the pot with all sorts of things. Some people use bricks. Others use empty and capped water bottles, upside down plastic pots, or sheets of styrofoam insulation cut and stacked inside the pot. Logs aren't a bad idea. Whatever you use, just remember that you will most likely have to separate it from the spent potting medium at the end of the season....See MoreCan you please name this pot filler?

Comments (26)We have one. We bought a finished new construction house, and the builder put it in. We've lived in this house for 6 months now. Honestly, it's taken some getting used to - I was so accustomed to going to the sink for water. If you do alot of cooking, I think it's a neat gadget. I find myself using it more. The only thing is that I prefer filtered water (our town water taste of chlorine, IMO). We have an undercounter water filter, so if I'm boiling tea bags, etc., I tend to use the filtered water from the kitchen faucet. However, earlier this week I canned some tomatoes, and that pot filler was awesome. I put my big canner on the range and filled it up while doing a few other things around the kitchen. Our previous house had a pull-out faucet, so to fill the canner up, I'd put it on the counter top (b/c it's too big for the sink) and would pull the faucet over and fill it up, then have to lift it to the sink. The pot filler was much, much easier, although, I did still have to lift it when I was done to carry it over to the sink to pour out. Could I live without it? Absolutely, but for some tasks, it's really handy. It's more of a conversation piece than anything because alot of people (at least in our area) have never seen one. BTW, we have a Brizo one that does NOT have the swing joint (looks like all of their current models do). Having a joint would be handy, but I don't think not having is a big deal. We have a 5 burner Thermador cooktop under it, and if I have a big pot on the center burner, then it will swing over that just fine....See MorePot filler location
Comments (3)Mine isn't in yet either, but I had to specify a location for the plumber a couple weeks ago. There is a thread on this topic that I read through. I don't think there is a "right way" other than it needs to be high enough to fill your pots! My plumber thought it should be on the right side of the range because I'm right-handed. My daughter put hers on the left side even though she is right-handed and thinks it is just great. She said a concern of hers was that it not look like she was trying to "center" it over a row of burners, because it would undoubtedly not turn out quite right. I did place mine on the right half of my 48" range, but my burner arrangement has the four burners on that side and then the griddle and other two burners on the left side of the stove. My pipe is about 14" above where the top of the stove is supposed to come and I think the faucet nozzle is down about 2" from that. It is located 12" from the side of the stove. My tallest pasta cooker with insert is only 9", but I thought I might like to get a larger/taller one. I am mildly worried about splashing from it being too high, but I decided I'd rather be a couple inches too high than get it too low. I also think they want it located next to a stud, so that can affect things one way or the other. If I were you, I would locate it on the left half of your stove because of the burner configuration....See MoreMary Iverson
