Review on ESOW Kitchen Water Filter Faucet: Lead-Free & Durable Stainless Steel Design for Reverse Osmosis Units or Water Filtration Systems by Joshua Douglas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beautifully designed, stylish, beautiful filtered faucet.

***6 Month Update*** This faucet still looks and works just as well as it did when I installed it. But there was a small problem. The valve handle kept coming loose. The threads appear to be frayed. A small but annoying problem. I could probably fix that with Loctite but figured I didn't need that. I informed the seller, ESOW, of the problem on Saturday morning and they responded within 8 hours and sent me a new unit without question. Other companies should follow for GREAT customer service! As a result, I've raised my rating to FIVE STARS. Looks very solid and is also very large. Good movement of the handle. It was easy to install. However, pay attention to the hole size. The mounting base is not very large. (1.57 inches according to the printout included with the faucet). Your Revain data sheet says "hole size: 1-1.6" and standard sinks have a 1.375 inch hole. If you cut a 1.6" hole this would be in it! Even with a standard sinkhole, only .195" can be played, which means approximately 1/10" on each side. In my opinion this is a very small stock. In my case, I installed a new stainless steel sink and drilled a 1" hole to Revain's specification, which worked well. The faucet was packaged nicely, in a protective cloth bag, with a fairly informative instruction manual. sanitary connection. I dare say that this is NOT the seller's fault and that the hardware broke in transit when the crate was thrown into the truck "very carefully" (laughs)! This wasn't a big deal for me because I found I was the right size to connect to my 3/8" OD Poly tubing with a compression fit, which I actually prefer. Connection to 1/4" -polyethylene tubing. My filter and most filters I have worked with use 3/8 inch diameter polyethylene tubing. If you are not using 1/4" polyethylene you will need to buy some adapters and 1/4" tubing OR do what I did and use a suitable fitting/adapter for a 3/8" compression fitting.
