KRAUS Purita 100% Lead-Free Beverage Faucet in Matte Black

In this review the KRAUS Purita beverage faucet is evaluated for kitchen and bar use, aimed at someone who wants filtered water without a bulky external tap. The bottom line: it is a stylish, high-arc cold water faucet made from 100% lead-free brass that connects to under-sink filtration systems and delivers clean, great-tasting water on demand. It is best for homeowners who want a dedicated filtered water outlet with a corrosion-resistant finish and a compact single-hole installation, while those needing hot water or a built-in air gap should look elsewhere.

Key Features

• Lead-free construction: The faucet body and waterways are made from 100% lead-free brass for corrosion resistance and safer drinking water.
• High-arc rotating spout: The 12 in high-arc gooseneck spout rotates 360 degrees, making it easy to fill glasses, pots, and reusable bottles.
• Non-air gap compatibility: Designed to work with most under-counter reverse osmosis and simple filtration systems for concealed installation.
• Durable finish: Matte Black finish resists rust and staining so the faucet keeps a clean, modern look over time.
• Single-handle control: A simple cold-only handle provides easy on/off control for filtered water without complicated valves.
• Premium cartridge: The ceramic cartridge helps ensure a long-lasting drip-free performance under normal use.

Who It's For

This faucet is ideal for homeowners and small households who want a dedicated filtered water tap that pairs with under-sink systems such as carbon block filters or reverse osmosis units. It suits kitchen islands, wet bars, or secondary sinks where a compact, single-hole installation and a spot-free finish matter.

It is not for users who require hot-and-cold mixing or an integrated air gap; those needing heavy commercial use should consider more industrial-rated fittings, as some customers have reported concerns about long-term durability in high-abuse installations.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Attractive modern design with a rust-resistant finish that resists water spots and fingerprints.
• Solid brass, lead-free construction for long-term corrosion resistance and safer drinking water.
• Easy single-hole installation with included mounting hardware and smooth 360 degree spout rotation.
• Compatible with a variety of under-sink filters and reverse osmosis systems for flexible use.

Cons

• Cold-water only, so it cannot replace a mixed-temperature kitchen faucet.
• Some customers report handle durability and occasional leakage after months of use, so heavy-duty demands may reveal limitations.
