KRAUS Purita Single Handle Drinking Water Filter Faucet - Spot Free

In this review of the Purita single handle drinking water filter faucet, the bottom line is simple: this is a well-made, stand-alone filtered water faucet for anyone who wants convenient, great-tasting water without replacing a kitchen tap. The faucet's solid brass construction, premium ceramic cartridge and spot-free finish deliver a reliable, polished look and long-lasting leak-free performance for under-sink filtration setups. It is best for homeowners who install a separate under-counter filter or reverse osmosis system and want a compact, high-arc faucet dedicated to cold, filtered drinking water.

Key Features

• Stand-alone beverage faucet: Provides a dedicated outlet for filtered water so the main kitchen faucet stays separate from drinking water use.
• 100% lead-free construction: Brass body and waterlines reduce corrosion risk and improve long-term water safety for potable use.
• Spot-free rust-resistant finish: The spot-free surface resists water spots and fingerprints to maintain a clean appearance with minimal upkeep.
• High-arc 360 degree spout: The tall rotating spout makes filling glasses, pots and reusable bottles easier and gives full sink access.
• Premium ceramic cartridge: Ensures smooth, drip-free single-handle control and durable operation over time.
• Easy single-hole installation: Ships with pre-attached water lines and mounting hardware to simplify DIY under-sink hookup.

Who It's For

The Purita faucet is aimed at homeowners and renters who use an under-sink water filtration or reverse osmosis system and want a dedicated, compact faucet for cold filtered water. It suits kitchens where matching finishes matter since the spot-free stainless and other finishes coordinate with KRAUS kitchen faucets.

Those who need a dual-temperature or full sink mixer should look elsewhere because this faucet is cold-water only and designed specifically as a separate beverage faucet. Also, buyers seeking an air-gap faucet for certain RO installations should verify compatibility, as this is a non-air-gap design that works with most under-counter systems.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid brass construction and lead-free waterlines deliver robust build quality and corrosion resistance.
• Spot-free stainless option keeps the finish looking clean without constant wiping.
• High-arc, 360 degree spout and single-handle control make filling containers straightforward and convenient.

Cons

• Handle durability has been a concern in some user reports, so care during use is advised.
• Cold-water only design limits use for tasks that require hot filtered water.
