Tri-flow taps are a perfect way to bring function, style and cost-effectiveness to the kitchen, it has been claimed.The Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom Specialists Association (KBSA) said that three-way tri-flow taps with built-in purification systems offer great tap flexibility and are a better alternative to bottled or jug filtered water.Frankes tri-flow models, such as the Corinthian and the Doric, offer the advantages identified by the KBSA, with a lever provided to send highly filtered drinking water through the single spout, and others for hot and cold controls.The site said that sleek, minimalist style taps could make tri-flow systems into attractive modern kitchen items with models like Frankes offering finishes in nickel, chrome, gold finish and silksteel.On the functional side, tri-flow taps were claimed to boast continental-style functions for adjusting temperature, as well as health-boosting filter capacities that made them a cheaper option to bottled water or other purifying options.Franke claimed that its tri-flow taps contained the technology to filter out chemicals, bacteria and tiny particles, leaving only the purest and healthiest water possible. If you want a sink with large bowl dimensions to cope with big-pan washing-up, it is worth considering a tap with a pull-out or pull-down spray rinse. This gives you water anywhere you need it around the bowl area.
