These all-in-one kitchen faucets combine the benefits of a standard faucet, along with an option for filtered water.(Photo: TNS)

Dear Ed: Were planning to remodel our tiny kitchen. We can only fit a smaller size one-bowl kitchen sink, but Id like to have some extra features. I remember reading your past articles where you mentioned adding a filtered beverage faucet to your kitchen sink. I like the idea of having filtered water for beverages and cooking, but I dont want to clutter my small sink area with two faucets. Do they make versatile kitchen faucets that also work like beverage faucets?

Dear Deb: Many kitchens, especially in city areas, have limited sink space. So, it makes sense that there are a few faucet and add-on filter options you can follow up with at your local plumbing supply center.

Since you are remodeling and starting new, I recommend looking for a complete filtered water kitchen sink faucet. These all-in-one kitchen faucets are designed nicely to combine the benefits of a standard single-lever kitchen faucet, along with an option to deliver on-demand filtered water.

With the on-demand option, you can wash dishes and fill buckets with non-filtered water and use the filtered water only when needed for drinking and cooking. This can extend the life of the built-in filter cartridge and declutter your smaller sink area.

Even though an all-in-one kitchen faucet is pricey, it can be a clear choice for adding filtered water to your kitchen.
