What is a dedicated faucet?
- A dedicated faucet provides filtered water at the point of use
- All of our drinking water systems except the 3M Full Flow Drinking Water System use dedicated faucets
- Most sinks have pre-drilled holes designated for sprayers, soap dispensers, and other accessories. If your sink does not have an extra hole, we highly recommend professional installation. Without an existing hole, you may need to have one installed
The 3M Full Flow Drinking Water System Advantage.
- Filters all of the existing faucet's cold water
- No dedicated faucet required
- Filter is replaced approximately once a year
- High faucet flow rate of 2.5 max gallons/min (EPA federal standards set max residential flow rate at 2.2 gallons/min)
