Why choose a commercial pre rinse faucet over a standard kitchen faucet?

We want you to envision a scenario. You finished a large family dinner. The sink is full of greasy baking sheets, pots with sauce still stuck, and a big roasting pan. You turn on a regular kitchen faucet. The water stream is weak. You start washing. And washing. It feels like you will spend forever. Now, let’s see a different picture. You pull down a strong spray and with a short blast of concentrated water, all the stuck on garbage is gone. That’s the difference a commercial pre rinse faucet makes.

For simple sinks tasks like handwashing and kettle filling, an ordinary kitchen faucet works just fine. But it's hardly optimal for dealing with the aftermath of serious cooking. For that, you need something like a commercial pre rinse faucet, which is designed to take care of messy, heavy-duty cleanup. These faucets bring the power and efficiency of an entire professional kitchen to your home sink. Manufacturers like Youchu with almost two decades of experience and an emphasis on ultra high quality, make these pre rinse faucets out of  thick 304 stainless steel and solid copper which mean that these faucets are powerful and extremely durable.  Let's get started on the reasons why getting a commercial style sink faucet is a great idea.

Commercial pre rinse faucets are designed to provide a high flow rate which is much higher than ordinary kitchen sink faucets. Most ordinary faucets that can dispense water at a rate of anywhere between one and two gallons per minute, a commercial faucet can dispense water at a rate of anywhere between two and three gallons per minute, Like with everything high flow is best, but you don’t just want a high volume of water you want to be in control of  how that volume, The real magic behind high flow faucets is the spray head. They come with specialized  spray head designed specifically to control the flow and volume of water, making it easier for you to be in control of how the volume is dispensed.

The combination of a high flow rate and a focused spray pattern allows for effective cleaning of built up food particles. If you've ever cleaned a burnt cheese pan, or a pot with stuck dried oatmeal, you know how tough this residue can be. In a typical kitchen, you typically do a lot of scrubbing. In contrast, a commercial pre rinse faucet does the opposite. It does the majority of the work for you, and you for the most part just hold the faucet and watch the built up residue be blasted and readily washed away. This converts a task that would normally require a lot of time and effort into a really simple and easy task.

Constructed From Better Materials For Improved Life Span

Normal kitchen faucets can’t handle repeated high intensity usage because they are designed for very low, very moderate usage. By contrast, commercial pre rinse faucets are engineered for professional kitchens, and can handle the demands of being turned on and off hundreds of time an hour. This comes from using better materials.

Manufacturer like Youchu focused on quality materials for their product. They use thick walled 304 stainless steel for the tap body. 304 stainless steel is super premium as it does not rust, is dent resistant, and withstands corrosion. Additionally, the stainless steel waterways inside the taps contain high quality pure copper, due to natural anti-microbial properties, which is far superior to other materials.  Strong abrasion resistant springs allow bending in any directions and remain kink free. With these materials, Youchu taps are made for decades, not the years like others. The taps are freely extendable and able to rotate 360 degrees.

Cleaning is Effortless Thanks to Superior Flexibility and Reach

Have you ever found it difficult to rinse a large stockpot under a standard faucet? You have to maneuver and tilt the pot to avoid large splashes and almost overflow it.  The design of commercial pre rinse taps has solved this. They have high, gooseneck spouts, allowing for unrestricted clearance and easy use even with the largest pots and pans.

What sets this faucet apart from its rivals is its spring loaded custom hose and valve. They offer amazing versatility. You can use the hose and head to spray the water wherever it is needed. You can use it to reach the deepest parts of your sink and the corners of pots to spray and clean them. Because of the spring, the hose is able to smooth retract. When the hose is not in use, it is easily stored and out of the way. This lessens the strain on your wrists and arms and makes the whole cleaning process feel more fluid and comfortable. You are able to set the pot wherever you like in the area, and bring water to it, instead of having to bring the pot to the faucet every time.

Surprisingly Efficient: Saving Water and Energy

You might think that a powerful faucet like this one wastes a large amount of water. In the contrary, its design allows it to use water more efficiently and target sprays, which is better than the average commercial pre rinse faucet, which is also designed to spray. The powerful pre rinse sprays help rinse little and clean the dishes in significantly less time than average commercial pre rinse faucets.

Most commercial pre rinse faucets are built with high efficiency spray valves which provide a strong cleaning effect and use less water than a normal faucet. A normal kitchen faucet flows at 2.2 gallons per minute while a commercial efficient valve flows at only 1.28 gallons per minute. Due to the efficient pre rinse faucet, less water is needed to pre rinse, and therefore less energy is needed to heat that water. With the efficiency of these faucets, energy and water savings continue to accumulate. For a busy household, it helps save resources, while at the same time being a better value.

Engineered to Improve Hygiene in Your Kitchen

In a kitchen, and, especially, in a kitchen that is involved with food preparation, cleanliness is vital. The design and construction of commercially made pre rinse faucets helps achieve a better level of cleanliness. The intense spray of a commercial pre rinse faucet, will do a better job at dislodging, and removing food residue and bacteria from the plates, pans, and the sink so that the residue will not incur a sanitation problem.

Additionally, the selection of materials is focused on hygiene. The solid brass or copper bodies, and the chrome plating, result in a wipe clean, non porous surface that will not support bacterial colonization. Likewise, 304 grade stainless steel will not support bacterial colonization or corrosion. Cheaper metals can pit and crevice and that will support the bacterial growth. You can relax the most with our focus on hygiene.

A Professional Look That Elevates Your Kitchen

Aside from the practical advantages, a commercial pre rinse faucet offers a powerful style statement. Its profile is tall and slim, and the spring is exposed to contribute to an element of industrial chic to the kitchen. The look is purposeful and professional and is a growing trend in contemporary residential design.

Regardless on weather your kitchen is more modern and sophisticated or more classic and rustic, there will always be a commercial style faucet that will complement your kitchen. Its chrome or stainless steel finish shows your class and high end taste in kitchen plumbing fixtures. It puts a stamp of approval on your kitchen as it shows that you value functionality and aesthetics. It shows your seriousness about your kitchen to your visitors.
