A separate water tap is necessary for the ALFILTRA REOS HOME under-sink reverse osmosis system for the following reasons:
Easy installation: A separate faucet for the reverse osmosis system makes installation easier and does not require any complex adjustments to the existing kitchen faucet.
Specialized use: The separate tap allows targeted use of the filtered water, for example for drinking water or cooking, while the normal tap can still be used for other purposes.
Efficiency and environmental friendliness: The osmosis water should actually only be used as drinking water, otherwise resources are wasted. For flushing, for example, "normal" tap water should be used, as the pressure is also much higher.
Ease of use: With a separate faucet, it is easier to choose between filtered and unfiltered water, increasing convenience and ease of use.
Additionally, there are also combo faucets available as accessories that look like a normal faucet but have two separate outlets - one for filtered and one for unfiltered water. These combo faucets offer an aesthetically pleasing and space-saving solution by integrating the functionality of a separate faucet without the need for additional drilling or installation.
