When it comes to selecting a kitchen tap, it’s easy to assume all taps are more or less the same. But once you dive into the details, you’ll realize there’s a world of difference in design, functionality, and quality. This guide will clear up common misconceptions and help you make an informed choice—because the right tap can do wonders for your kitchen’s look and functionality!
1. Not All Taps Are Created Equal

One common misconception is that a tap is just a tap. But in reality, the type of tap you choose can significantly impact your daily routines, kitchen style, and even water efficiency. From varying functionalities to stylish finishes, each tap brings something unique to the table (or, more fittingly, the sink). Picking the right one can make everything from filling pots to rinsing veggies a breeze.
2. Cold Water Taps vs. Mixer Taps: Understanding the Difference
Taps generally fall into two main categories, and knowing which type suits your needs can simplify your decision:
Cold Water Taps: Cold water taps are single-function taps that only supply cold water. They’re perfect for outdoor settings, like in home gardens where you might want a simple tap near the barbecue or an outdoor sink setup. Their basic design makes them a practical choice for utility areas needing an easy water source without the added complexity of temperature control.
Mixer Taps: Mixer taps allow you to blend hot and cold water flows, giving you more flexibility to adjust the water temperature to your liking. This makes them ideal for kitchens where you frequently need warm or hot water for washing or cooking. Mixer taps are a great option for those looking to streamline their kitchen setup with style and versatility.
Knowing these basics helps you select a tap that matches your lifestyle, saves time, and enhances your kitchen’s functionality.

3. Kitchen Taps vs. Bathroom Taps: Not as Similar as You Think
It’s tempting to think all taps are interchangeable, but kitchen and bathroom taps have distinct purposes. Kitchen taps are built for practicality, with taller spouts and features like pull-out sprayers to handle pots and pans. Bathroom taps, however, focus more on compact design, as they usually fit into smaller sinks and have fewer utility needs.

Choosing a kitchen tap specifically designed for kitchen tasks ensures smoother day-to-day use and a design that fits seamlessly into your space.

5. Caution Against Bargain Buys: Why Cheap Taps Aren’t Always a Good Deal
Buying a cheap tap online can seem like a budget-friendly move, but it often comes with hidden drawbacks. Overseas taps may have different fitting sizes, which can complicate installation in Singapore homes, and many sellers don’t provide detailed installation guidelines. POZZI taps, however, are tailored to fit Singapore’s standards, ensuring they work seamlessly with local plumbing. So, you can skip the hassle and enjoy peace of mind with a tap that’s perfectly suited to your home.

6. Think Green: Choosing Water-Efficient Taps
Water efficiency isn’t just a trend—it’s a responsible choice that can help you save on bills and protect our environment. At ADL Enterprise Pte Ltd, we recommend selecting taps certified by the Water Efficiency Labelling Scheme (WELS). These taps feature eco-friendly aerators that reduce water flow without sacrificing performance, allowing you to enjoy a reliable water supply while minimizing waste. With a WELS-certified tap, you make an eco-friendly choice that aligns with both sustainability and smart budgeting.
