GRIFEMA G4003 3 Way Water Filter Tap, Kitchen Drinking Taps Sink Mixer Brass Swivel Spout with 2 Handles, Hot, Cold and Filter Tap for Kitchen, G3/8" Hose, 360° Swivel, Chrome, Black

Bought to replace 9 year old leaking tap. Fitting was straightforward as replacing similar tap - biggest problem was removing the old tap which required a long box spanner to undo centre clamp ( which I was lucky to find in my toolbox !). Grifema tap had a simpler clamping arrangement tightened by two, more accessible, Phillips head screws. Other reviewers had commented that the connections were smaller than than normal UK 3/8 BSP but the tap was supplied with two reducer fittings and, additionally, a choice of 1/4 or 3/8 fitting for water filter, so no problems connecting to existing pipe work. I’m not a plumber so the whole change procedure took me nearly 3 hours, but a professional would easily manage in less than 1 hour. Once fitted the tap operated correctly - the controls were different to my original tap so will take some getting used to (original tap had hot water lever on left - this has combined hot&cold on right, with left lever for filtered water - also tap has two outlets - one for normal hot/cold but with a separate outlet for the filtered line). Word of caution - if you remove all your drain connections to give better access, as I did, do remember to reconnect them before trying the tap !! Also, the original tap ( Astracast TARGA Springflow ) cost £141 when bought 10 years ago, this replacement was £56.99 so other than my own stupidity - I was very pleased with the tap and replacement procedure and happy to recommend it. One late thought - I don’t know if there’s a technical explanation but since fitting the new tap hot water takes much longer ( 65 seconds rather than 25) to reach the sink.

Initially dubious about this tap because it was far too cheap. In fact, having installed it myself I found the filtered water tap dripped constantly. Contacted returns, asked for a replacement which arrived 3 days later! Now works fine Very pleased .

Will be returned following receipt of replacement tap that hopefully functions as it should. Otherwise this looks a nice sturdy tap. Update: New tap received and fitted today and works perfectly. This is a later model as was complete with 3/8" - 1/2" BSP adapters that I would not have had to buy if they had been included with the first tap. This has now been returned using the appalling EVRI return system with contradictory instructions on the Amazon website as to locations requiring returns to be boxed and those at the Parcelshop. Printers at 2 locations not working. What a joke! So after 3+ months the replacement tap is working fine and I am very pleased with the build quality and so far no issues with the chrome finish hence updated to 4 stars. The water flow is as others have said somewhat restricted however the upside to this is a reduction in wasted water. The tap is also fitted with an aerator so unlikely you will get splashed when the water hits a spoon laying in the sink for instance (unlike the Franke tap we replaced). If I had not had the problems mentioned earlier this would be a five star review - decent quality at a very reasonable and competitive price. A further update - After 2 years 6 months the tap has no leaks and there are no signs of corrosion.

On initial installation this tap would have been given a 5 star rating for looks and style. However, after about 6 months the chrome trim started to flake off and after 18-24 months the tap started to drip and now makes a whistleing noise when using it and constantly dripping and sometimes a slow flow which cannot be stopped even when in the off position. NOTE: this is mostly on the filter side rather than the mixer side. I am sure most people would not expect to change taps every 2 years !! this tap is NOT for the long term and quality is questionable whatever the cost. I will be complaining to Amazon and likely will have to spend more money to get a plumber to replace with a decent brand. Spare parts don't seem to be available (in case it was a replaceable cartridge ?? )

I brought this 3 way mixer tap because I had limited space in my kitchen. I had a water softener fitted and a separate hard water supply installed. I didn't have the space for a separate Filtered hard water tap, so a 3 way tap was the only option for me. I chose this tap because it is very reasonably priced compared to uk versions. This is a Spanish tap, so has smaller hot and cold flexi-pipe fittings end fitting is 12mm instead of 15mm on uk versions. This is easily remedied by fitting a brass Tesla bsp flexi tap tails adapter 12mm x 1/2" that fits a standard 15mm tap connection. The 3rd outlet for the filtered water, the flexi-tap tail is a standard uk size. Make sure you check that all the tiny flexi-tap washers are there before you screw the flexi-pipes into the tap base or it will leak. It's really straight forward to fit. My tap is fitted on the ceramic kitchen sink. I have relatively low hot water pressure from a gravity fed system but the tap works fine. I will probably get a pump fitted to increase the hot water flow to the tap but it's actually ok and the 3 way tap looks good too! I highly recommend GRIFEMA 3 way mixer tap. I love it!!!! *****

Easy to fit, just follow the instructions and dont use any tools to put it all togther. You only need a Philips head screw driver to mount it. No leaks so far and it has not overly affected the water pressure, it has reduced it but not by alot. The extra hose for the water filter is why I got it and the pressure from the tap going through a Water2 filter is still good. Updated: I have since spoken to a Plumber and it seems this is a tap for a high pressure system and not like mine which is mains cold and gravity hot. This is why the pressure has dropped.

Review edited 4 years later We like this tap installed just a year ago. The cartridge has quite narrow passageways which need fair water pressure to get good flow. Since installation the hot water flow reduced in two steps to quite a puny dribble. The cartridge is very easy to remove and clean and we discovered a tiny piece of debris just 2mm x 4mm was enough to block the flow as this shape fitted almost exactly into the rectangular inlet inside the cartridge. The cartridge is removed by first taking off the tap head which has a hex screw under the grey cap. The chrome collar screws on hand tight and the brass collett is only lightly tightened as the seals are made by a red silicon washer. The cartridge then pulls out and I picked out the debris using a cocktail stick but it will actually dismantle easily and quickly. The procedure took less than 10 minutes, so if you have one and the water slows, it's easy to fix. I think this is a standard 35mm cartridge so if it starts to drip and silicon grease doesn't stop it, that would be what to go for. Standard cartridges are around £10. Overall, this is a well made tap that looks good and functions well. For the price it is difficult to beat. After 4 years the seal between the filtered outlet and the normal outlet began to leak in both directions. We also started to get leaking from the swivel spout. None of the o rings correspond with any of the 40 or so spares we already have but it was possible to stretch some on (it takes 4 o-rings) and with silicon grease the problem was solved. However this solution is only lasting 6 months and already there is some leakage, and the swivel is rather stiff too! There should be kits available to replace all these parts, and I am considering removing this tap altogether. I am reducing the rating to 3 stars although I will increase it again if I can solve this.

We bought this tap for just under £50 and have been amazed by the quality. There appears to be loads of copies of this tap on Amazon, this one is made by GRIFEMA (Italian). The quality of the tap is great ,makes our old Wickes tap which cost twice the price look and feel like junk. It has a good Cold/Hot/Flow control, and the added drinking water take off is good too. The tap comes with multiple adapters to convert to UK fittings and the drinking outlet comes with both 1/4 and 3/8 adapters so perfect for any R/O system.

Cercavo un rubinetto a tripla via e questo mi ha colpito subito per il design. Leggendo le recensioni nizialmente avevo dubbi se avesse funzionato o meno ma considerando che per rubinetti simili a tripla via mi hanno chiesto in negozio dalle 250 alle 450 euro 😱... ho deciso di provare... Risultato: bellissimo, stiloso, robusto, funziona perfettamente, facile da montare... LO ADORO!!

👍🏻

Lovely tap but unfortunately though the paint is coming off it from the base showing chrome now..iv only had it afew mths..but for the price I guess I can’t expect it to last too long,
