- Air Gap faucet to meet plumbing codes for reverse osmosis units,
- Meets all low lead NSF requirements
- Multiple colors available for custom kitchens
- Fits all under counter reverse osmosis water filter systems
- Uses 1/4" Supply Tube
Just hooked up the unit and sure enough its making a "deal breaking" water running sound coming from the air gap! Its driving me nuts!!! Arrrgggghhh!!!! Eager to figure out how these things work I took apart the old unit and discovered its just that -and air gap presumably to prevent waste water from entering the discharge side. The old unit had a rather small air gap chamber. This unit obviously has a big air gap chamber thus the running water sound as the unit discharges waste water to the drain. I''m going contact Watts and find out if they have a solution. Right now, I''m planning on returning this noise maker but I''ll give it a day. I say to buy a nother unit but I havent come up with a reasonable replacement...yet! Stay tuned!
Buy Watts 116001 Standard Faucet Now
This air gap faucet is relatively easy to install and setup. Works well with my RO filter system. The air gap noise is annoyingly loud while it''s filling up the tank (you can hear it from the next room) which is everytime after you turn on the faucet and 6-8 hours if you start from filling up from an empty tank. It looks like I will only keep this as a temporary solution until I can find something else quieter.The product was exactly as described and functions perfectly with my Watts unit. The instructions could have been a little more detailed or refined, which would have made the job a little faster. With a little patience or experience, I highly recommend, it''s simple, functions correctly, no little lights or batteries and simply delivers the water to the counter top.We have a WATTS R/O system...but this is not a direct replacement to the current faucet that we have. Did not work for us...after my filter system faucet broke i got this one and installation was easy and work just fine. it has a momentary open close or hold open that i did not have before and i like it .
