I had to fix our kitchen tap last night
If your ever thinking of buying a Franke Pilatus tap, don't. They're fucking shit.

My brother is a project manager for a kitchen firm.
The very cheapest one they do is about sixty grand. He once had a chap in Bayswater who spent 90 grand on a kitchen for his servants' quarters.

I ent even lyin', bruv.

We're planning our new kitchen at the moment
but we have no where near that budget, sadly. Wish we did...I feel like I deserve a good kitchen.

I need a new kitchen, new bathroom, repainting throughout, new front door, new windows.
Extra bedroom, lease extension, new liver....

You would think your new mate, The Great Suprendo, would magic one up for you.

The tap looks nice, but it's not very user friendly
and i've had to change the cartridge three times now since we moved in five and a half years ago.

Although last night I found that there appeared to be an extra rubber seal stuck within the mechanism which could have been the reason for excess water leaking around the cartridge and causing it to slowly fail.

So fingers crossed this one will last a bit longer than a year or two.

He would you know. All the agression on here is just his way of compensating for the fact that he fancies me.

and the middle bit is the waste disposal and our tap has three handles for hot cold and pure

( Peej, Fri 22 Mar 2013, 10:52, Reply)

Pure?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 22 Mar 2013, 10:53, Reply)

goes through a filter first

( Peej, Fri 22 Mar 2013, 10:54, Reply)

Filtered/RO
A splendidly pointless way of making more money out of the slightly gullible. Because normal towns water isn't in any way filtered, obv.

Also, unless you routinely change your filter
you actually end up drinking water with more chance of contamination in it.

So if I serve her up a glass she might get very sick?

( Peej, Fri 22 Mar 2013, 10:57, Reply)

Eventually.

(Bazongaloid, Fri 22 Mar 2013, 10:57, Reply)

Its not been used in the 4 years since we moved in, how contaminated do you think it will be?

( Peej, Fri 22 Mar 2013, 10:58, Reply)

Probably not very.
But you could be unlucky and have some virulent mould growing on it and it could be highly toxic.

But I doubt it.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 22 Mar 2013, 10:59, Reply)

Yup, which is why I haven't replaced the filter even once in the four years since we moved in.
We don't use it, Cornish tap water is pretty good
