One of the most stylish and reliable brands of faucets on the market today, Pegasus faucets are highlighted by their sleek design and stylish finish. With a long bent neck that makes them resemble the horse of Greek mythology, these faucets will easily be the focal point of any kitchen or bathroom. When shopping for a Pegasus faucet, you will have many different types to choose from.
Single handled and double handled are the two main groups of faucets, with not much separating the two but an extra handle. Unless you have the need to save space, the decision between the two types is based on cosmetic preference. If you are buying a new faucet to replace your old one, you should be aware that your choices will be somewhat limited based on the alignment of your previous faucet.
If your previous faucet was of the single fixture variety, there will only be one hole in your countertop or sink for installation, so a single handle faucet would be the best choice. If your old faucet had two stand alone handles and one faucet, purchasing a similar faucet will aid in installation. If you insist on buying a different type of faucet, you should be aware that you may be confronted with challenges during installation. You may need to run extra plumbing for your new faucet, or drill new holes for your faucet and handles as required.
Aside from the numerous different materials and finishes available, Pegasus kitchen faucets also have a wide variety of features available on select models. Some models come with a standalone sprayer, mostly designed for sink faucets where such a feature will come in handy. Depending on the layout of your previous sink, the models with this feature could require more work during installation.
A built in water filter is another nifty feature available on some select models of Pegasus faucets. This feature allows you to have filtered water without buying expensive filters. Because this feature is built in, there is no added complication of installation. The downside of buying a model with a built-in filter is that they are a bit more expensive and harder to maintain than standard faucets. You will have to weigh the advantages and disadvantages before making a decision. Keep in mind that you can easily install a water filter under your sink, on the door of your mini bar refrigerator, or have a stand-alone filtered water machine.
