KRAUS Bolden 2-in-1 Commercial Style Pull Down Water Filter Faucet

In this review of the KRAUS Bolden 2-in-1 water filter faucet, the bottom line is simple: it suits buyers who want a commercial-style kitchen faucet that also supplies 100% purified water without a second tap. The faucet combines an open-coil high-arc spout and a pull-down sprayhead with a dedicated filtered-water line using DuoPure technology, making it a practical choice for households using under-sink filtration or reverse osmosis systems. It is best for cooks and families who value filtered drinking water and a robust, maneuverable sprayer in one fixture.

Key Features

• 2-in-1 Water Filter Faucet: Integrated filter tap gives direct access to purified water for drinking, cooking, and filling bottles without the need for a separate secondary faucet.
• Commercial Style Spout: High-arc open-coil design adds an industrial look while providing extra clearance for large pots and pans.
• DuoPure Technology: Independent water lines prevent cross-contamination and ensure that filtered water stays separate from regular tap water.
• Pull-Down Sprayer: The pull-down sprayhead with Reach Technology and an easy-retract hose provides wide maneuverability around the sink area.
• Spot-Free Stainless Finish: Finish resists water spots and fingerprints to help maintain a cleaner appearance with minimal upkeep.
• Universal Compatibility: Works with most under-counter filtration and reverse osmosis systems, so it can be integrated into existing filter setups.

Who It's For

This faucet is ideal for homeowners who want a single fixture that handles both everyday sink tasks and provides a dedicated source of filtered water for drinking and cooking. It fits kitchens where a commercial look and a high-arc spout are desired, and where connection to an under-sink filter or reverse osmosis system is already planned or present.

It may not be the best pick for buyers who need a touchless or electronic faucet, those who prefer a separate deck-mounted filter tap, or anyone unwilling to accept occasional customer-reported issues related to long-term gasket durability or potential leakage over many years.

Pros & Cons

Cons

• Some customers report long-term durability concerns such as gasket wear and occasional leakage, so routine checks are advised.
