Sink fixtures driving me nuts lately

Haven’t tried integrating with filtered lines, but I’d be a little worried about cross-contamination if the setup isn’t perfect. Anyone else think that’s a risk, or am I overthinking it?

Not overthinking at all—cross-contamination is a legit concern, especially if you’re mixing filtered and unfiltered lines in the same fixture. I’ve seen some setups where the check valves weren’t up to par and it caused issues down the line. Honestly, sometimes the “old-fashioned levers” just make maintenance and troubleshooting so much easier... even if they’re not winning any design awards.

Funny you mention that—I've actually swapped out a couple of those “sleek” modern fixtures for the old-school ones just because I got tired of fiddling with them. Anyone ever tried those touchless models with filtered lines? Curious if they're any less hassle or just a new set of headaches.
