I always knew that I wanted a pot-filler and once we were designing our new house I made sure it was in the plans .. I use this more than I ever imagined! I always make sure to turn off both shut-off valves -- just to be on the safe side, but I have never had an issue with it even leaking out the last drops left in the faucet. We have this matched with the Delta Cassidy kitchen faucet, and they look like they were made for each other even though they are from different lines within Delta.
