Kingston Brass KS3198NML Magellan Design 1 4 Turn Water Filter Faucet Brushed Nickel

+++++ 6 year update! +++++ This faucet served our family well at it's original location for nearly 6 years without any issues. We recently sold that home and purchased different home. With our new home we needed an oil rubbed bronze filtered water dispenser and knew just what faucet to get! We expect this faucet to server us for many trouble free years! ===== Original review ===== Feels as solid or better than the faucet it is replacing. Oil-rubbed bronze finish looks good. I have a Kohler faucet and Kwikset door knobs near by and it matches close enough to not be noticeable (much more so than polished nickel faucet it replaced). No issues so far, quick easy swap with the old faucet, no drips, and a smooth action on the knob. Will update the review if any issues do develop. Also, I ordered a Used item from Amazon's returns, and the item was in perfect condition with no issues, for less than half the retail price of the faucet, so don't let a "used" item deter you from saving a good amount of money.

I purchased this faucet for use with my reverse osmosis system. Unfortunately, I didn't read closely enough since it does state that this faucet is not for reverse osmosis systems. After it was installed, I noticed the very last sentence on the instruction sheet stated that it was not for reverse osmosis systems. If I would have read the description better before buying this faucet I would have seen that the seller specifically stated that; therefore, it was my fault. After doing some research on the internet, I found that air gap faucets (which this one is not) are recommended for reverse osmosis units and it is required in some areas under plumbing codes. The air gap faucet is to prevent water from a stopped up sink drain from being siphoned or forced back into the reverse osmosis system. Based on what I have read, an air gap faucet is not absolutely necessary so hopefully this faucet will continue to work with my system. I am not a plumber so I am only going by what I have been able to find on the internet regarding reverse osmosis faucets vs filtered water faucets. I do know that my previous faucet which came with the reverse osmosis system was not an air gap faucet and it worked fine. We got new quartz counter tops and an under counter sink so we needed to replace all our faucets. I love the look and the material and so far it is working fine with my system. Read more

Seems like a quality faucet. I have 4 hole Koeler sink. I installed a faucet that used three holes-it has one hole for the handle assembly, one for the spout, and one for the sprayer. So I installed this faucet in the remaining hole. I chose to run an unsoftened water line to the icemaker in the fridge and to this faucet. Be aware that this uses a 1/4" waterline, like what comes from a water filter. So it took some fittings and some doing to go from a 3/8 (or a 1/2" for that matter) copper water line to both the 1/4" flexible line for the icemaker and this faucet, which I also used a 1/4" flexible stainless line. My installation is 3/8 soft copper to a reducing fitting to 1/4" soft copper, to a 1/4" T, and a flexible icemaker hose to this faucet and a flexible icemaker hose to the fridge. Not a problem, just understand it doesn't use the standard size waterline like most faucets. It dispenses a nice "solid" stream of water. It has a nice nickel finish that matches my faucet. A definite improvement over the cheap chrome faucet I had that wore out after a couple short years. Read more

This is a cute little water filter faucet. All the reviews state it needs a bigger sturdier washer to hold it in place. I just got one at the home improvement store and that did the trick. Works great looks nice. It was installed in December so I have had it long enough to say it's a good product. Read more

The best quality! And the force is water. Must buy! Read more

We have had this Filter Faucet a few months now and it looks good and works well (no leaks). I wish the spout was a little more heavy duty. Its on the sink and its not in harms way at all but the spout does seem a little light. If it were to take a direct hit from a small pan or just hit hard enough I'm sure it would bend. I'm not sure what the material of the spout is but the rest of it is of more hearty construction. But we do like it and its been great so far. Read more

I have installed two of these Kingston filter faucets, a nickel one at my house and this bronze one at my daughter’s house. We are both very satisfied with their look and function. It was an easy install with a GE under cabinet filter. I used 1/4” soft copper tubing with compression fittings. I would recommend this faucet for your kitchen. Read more

The faucet is quite good. However its main problem is that there is washer that goes under the cabinet to hold the faucet upright is plastic. Plastic is not sturdy enough to hold the faucet upright. The other problem is that the bottom nut that holds the bottom washer is too small. It barely covers the 1/2 inch hole of the washer. I had to buy a metal 1/2 by 1 1/2 washer to make the faucet more sturdy Read more
