Pot Fillers, Are They Being Phased Out?

June 22, 2021 by Karen Baker Leave a Comment

kitchen pot filler

Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or are upgrading and renovating your home, pot fillers have easily become a common feature among luxurious kitchens. While they do indeed provide a layer of convenience, many buyers as well as homeowners are starting to wonder if they’re more trouble than they’re worth. There truly is only one real pro to installing the extra water source referred to as a pot filler, proximity. Subway tile and pot fillers was once the “go-to” look for those who were hoping to either upgrade or purchase a home with a modern and luxurious kitchen, however, times are changing and the feature is not nearly as coveted or sought-after as it once was.

pot fillerUnless your kitchen is quite expansive, chances are, your sink isn’t too far from your stove, which means that when filling your pots at the sink, you don’t have to go far to arrive at your cooktop. Now, if you make large batches of soup regularly, those few steps of carrying a heavy pot may be a slight inconvenience, however when you actually stop to think about the difference between filling your pots at the sink or at the stove via a pot filler, there isn’t all that much of a difference.

Now, there are a few other reasons why many people are starting to wish they either hadn’t installed the feature or are searching for homes without the “luxury.” Primarily, potential leaks, repairs, and of course, water damage. Water damage is easily one of the most feared forms of damage among homeowners and that is simply due to the potential of mold growth, so naturally, avoiding any extra water features or piping that could cause potential leaks looks appealing to many homeowners and buyers alike.

While the trend exploded in the early 2000’s and continued to gain popularity through 2015, the past few years have shifted as many people started to feel as if the feature caused more harm than good. So, whether the convenience of being able to fill your pots right at your stove top is a feature that you wish to install in your home or not, as with all home features there are pros and cons to each option and ultimately you must decide what would best suit your wants and needs.

If you’re currently searching for a new home, are ready to sell your home and need a qualified seller’s agent, or if you have any questions regarding Carolina Real Estate, please feel free to contact our office at any time.

She and Frank treat every client as if they are the only ones that exist. They provide thorough research of areas and homes of interest and present you with the options. They are not your typical hard sell, must-buy-now realtors. They are here to help you find your next home?. You won’t go wrong with the Bakers!

“The Bakers treated us like family during our whirlwind weekend of looking at houses. Prior to our on-site visit to Sunset Beach they created a portal and populated it with properties that met our ever-evolving criteria. By time we arrived we had a good feel for what we could afford and what was available that met our criteria. The Bakers, especially Karen, were able to make sense of what we thought we were looking for and eventually matched us with a house that we ended up purchasing — Karen called it the “This is it” house and she was right. We are loving our 2nd home and appreciate how painless Karen and Frank made the process. All the paperwork was done seamlessly and quickly and the closing went off without a hitch. The Bakers do not believe in the hard sell — they gave us the knowledge we needed and the guidance we needed to make our dream a reality.”

Amy and I have bought and sold four properties in the past twelve years. Both of you are the best realtors we have ever dealt with. Amy and I both felt we could trust you to look out for our interest. The level of service you provided was outstanding, from taking the trash out, helping the buyer with inspecting the irrigation system, dealing with our tenants, always being there if we needed to ask a question, providing constant updates on the market and always keeping us informed on the sale of our house. I think your next venture should be training other realtors, because both of you have mastered the art of providing excellent service. I will be sure to recommend the Frank and Karen team to anybody looking for a trust worthy, knowledgeable and top performing realtor. It was a pleasure working with both of you.”
