3-way drinking taps
When you have a water softener installed, you can retain your existing hard water supply by fitting a separate bypass tap. You may prefer the taste of hard water, so a bypass tap is often used just for that purpose, but can also be upgraded to provide boiling water that is carefully filtered for the best taste.
