Please Explain


Could anyone with more sense, more savvy, maybe with a brain inclined towards engineering, or perhaps someone British



explain to me the advantage of having both a hot water faucet and a cold water faucet, instead of one that just blends the two???

It's typical in Britain to see sinks like this in older structures, but I'm seeing them also in newer constructions and I..just..don't..get..it!!!

  2. We call them hot and cold water taps not faucets and prefer to have mixer taps on baths and in kitchen sinks. I can't really explain why. Personally, I like my cold water to be cold, when rinsing my teeth. The water from the hot tap doesn't seem as pure coming, as it does through a separate pipe.

  4. Both of my grandparents' had sinks like that in their bathrooms. Strange indeed that new construction would be going back to the old ways but everything seems to come back around.
