INAX: In-Spout Filtration Kitchen Faucet - AJ/AKFrom INAX comes a water faucet with a high-performancecarbon filter in its spout. Years of developing ceramics and water
filters have gone into creating a water filter with a diameter ofthis size. In Japan, it isn’t uncommon for kitchens to have asecond faucet to filter tap water; integrating the water filter into
the main water faucet now helps users free up sink space, as
well as storage space since an under-sink filtration system is nolonger needed. For convenience, easy to use controls to turn thefilter on and off, as well as change spray patterns, is located on
the head of the spout.
