Faucet and Sink Features

When choosing a new faucet, think about who will be using the faucet and how often. Many types of bathroom faucets can feature:

Anti-scald protection: If you have young children or elderly parents in your home, consider installing a faucet with built-in, anti-scald protection. This can prevent accidental burns.

Filtering: Filtration systems provide high-quality drinking water and are a money-saving option for bottled water.

Water conservation: Choose water-saving faucets, like WaterSense labeled models, with lower flow rates or gallons per minute.

Adjustable flow-rate restrictor: If you live where your water supply is limited, an adjustable flow-rate restrictor can control exactly how much water you use.

Common-valve set up: Some newer sinks feature common-valve architecture. They are designed to fit a number of different faucet types. You can remodel or upgrade an existing faucet by unscrewing the handle and spout from the top.
