Using this Brizo pot filler faucet is a breeze. To control the water, just turn the two handles. One adjusts the flow, and the other the temperature. It's cold water only, so there's no need to worry about hot water settings. When you need to fill a pot, simply swing the long spout over it. The 23 1/4' reach means you can easily fill large pots placed anywhere on your stovetop. For installation, since it's a 1 - hole wall - mount design, it should be fairly straightforward. Just make sure to follow the instructions carefully. As for maintenance, regularly wipe it with a soft cloth to keep the matte white finish looking good. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they could scratch the surface. This will help your pot filler last a long time and keep working well.
