Advantages of inline under sink water filter
- No drilling required
- You do not require a separate faucet
- Saves under the counter and countertop space
Disadvantages of inline under sink water filter
- Wastage of filtered water
The system is connected to the only faucet you are using to clean dishes that do not require filtering, therefore, waste a lot of filtered water.
Wastage of filtered water problem can be solved if you have a mixer tap or 3-way drinking water faucet.
A mixer tap has 2 hoses (for hot water and cold water). You can connect the filter to the hot water hose when you turn on the hot water side it will dispense filtered water. The method work if you do not have a water heater.
