Hello:
Wife is after me to put in one of those under sink water filters for the kitchen faucet.
What we have now is a faucet that also has a spritzer hose on the right of the faucet. We never use it.
But, if one did want to use it, one has to turn on the cold water, then, when the lever on the end of the retractable hose is depressed, a diverter valve apparently built into the faucet assembly diverts the water to the spritzer hose.
All the undersink models I've looked at show in their instructions hooking it up to the normal cold water supply line that feeds the faucet. The natural way to do it, obviously.
For a variety of reasons, it seems that it would be a lot easier for me to tap into the spritzer hose line to feed the filter.
This would necessitate turning on the regular cold water faucet, and then depress the on-off handle on the new spigot that would be replacing the spritzer hose (would go in the same hole).
Is this a viable way of doing it ?
Any caveats, other than the fact that the normal cold water valve would also have to be turned on to use ?
Any thoughts on doing it this way ?
Thanks, Bob
