3-way faucet: The perfect solution for osmosis water, cold and hot water

More comfort, more hygiene – with the right faucet

The 3-way faucet is no longer a luxury, but a practical, modern solution for anyone who values ​​clean drinking water, functionality, and elegant design. It combines three water systems in a single faucet: cold water, hot water, and filtered reverse osmosis water – without the need for additional drilling or a separate faucet on the countertop. In this article, we'll show you why a 3-way faucet is the perfect addition to any kitchen, what to look for when purchasing, and what advantages our 304 stainless steel model offers.

What is a 3-way faucet anyway?

A 3-way faucet is a kitchen faucet that can serve three water pipes simultaneously:

  • Cold water from the normal house pipe
  • Hot water from the house pipe
  • Filtered osmosis water from a reverse osmosis system

Instead of installing two faucets on the countertop, everything is controlled via a single spout – separated into two internal flow channels. This means no mixing of filtered water with tap water. Hygienic, efficient, and space-saving.

Why is the separation of tap water and osmosis water so important?

Many people underestimate how easily contamination can occur if osmosis water and tap water are not properly separated. The 3-way faucet ensures a permanent separation of the water paths – this is especially important for people who rely on pure water for their health or who use osmosis water for preparing baby food or for medical purposes.

Advantages of separate lines:

  • No backflow of tap water into the osmosis water line
  • No contact with old or calcified water pipes
  • No cross-contamination by bacteria or heavy metals

Material quality: Why stainless steel 304 is the best choice

  • Rustproof and corrosion-resistant

Many cheap faucets are made of low-quality metals with questionable coatings. Our model has been tested for drinking water compatibility and meets the highest standards.

Typical applications of a 3-way faucet

Using a 3-way faucet is always useful if you:

Operation: This is how easy the 3-way faucet works

Our 3-way faucet has two dials:

  1. Right lever: Regulates cold and hot water

Two separate outlets inside the tap ensure that the osmosis water never comes into contact with tap water.
