3-way kitchen taps or tri-flow kitchen taps are a novel approach to water filter taps, allowing users to draw unfiltered and filtered water from a single tap system. Before 3-way taps, standard single-dispensing water filter taps were the norm. These would be installed in addition to your regular tap and would serve for dispensing filtered water only. Installing a standard filter tap entails drilling another hole in your kitchen sink. 3-way kitchen taps replace your existing kitchen tap and combine the functions of two different taps – a regular tap and a standard filter tap. Their unmatched functionality and efficiency makes them rank high in the preferences of water filter customers.

What to look for when buying a 3-way kitchen tap?

3-way kitchen taps come in different models and with different functionalities, but they inherently serve the same purpose of providing you with filtered and unfiltered tap water from the same tap system. Tri-flow taps come with two handles (one for mixed water and one for filtered water) or three handles (a handle for each type of water), and are available in a variety of designs and finish to match the décor of your kitchen.
