Probably not. The problem with pot fillers is that they’re sold on the promise that you’ll never need to lug a heavy stockpot filled with water from the sink to your stove again. But in truth, you’ll still need to carry that same heavy pot from your stove to the sink when it’s time to drain whatever you’re cooking. If you’re gravitating toward a shallow sink and a lower faucet, a pot filler can make sense, since you’ll find it hard to fill a large pot with water under the faucet. Bear in mind you’ll need to wash that pot under the faucet when you’re done cooking. In short, a pot filler can save you exactly half a headache, but it’s not essential for every kitchen. Consider the added cost carefully. “Under ideal circumstances, like open walls and an existing water pipe nearby, installing a pot filler will cost about $300 for labor, and another $100 for the raw materials, not including the fixture itself,” says DiDona. “But if you splurge on a really high-end fixture, that piece alone can add another $500 or more.”
