Pot fillers, like this one from Blanco's Grace collection, can truly simplify food prep.

When you entertain guests, you want to have as much help as possible. And while that probably (hopefully) includes your guests themselves, it can also mean your kitchen fixtures—especially if it helps prevent possible physical discomfort.

If you’ve filled a pot with water at the kitchen sink then hauled it to the stove, you know it can be a challenge. And since a gallon of fresh water weighs nearly 8 ½ pounds, carrying a pot with 2 or 3 gallons can wreak serious havoc on your back, shoulders, and arms.

A pot filler mounts on a countertop or wall next to the stovetop, so all you need to do is swing the spout over the pot you’re going to fill and turn the water on. When you’re done, just swing this versatile little fella out of the way. This not only cuts down on the time it takes to prepare the food, but also eliminates the need to carry a sloshing pot full of water to the stovetop.

And just like your standard kitchen faucet, a pot filler can come in a number of different looks, styles, and themes to match your existing kitchen fixtures.

A pot filler is designed to decrease the time you’re actually cooking in the kitchen, so you can ultimately enjoy the company of your guests. What you do with that extra time is totally up to you.
