If this is the kitchen mixer with the removable spray spout on a flex then I
would say no, as the removable spout always gets scratched. Well it is £15
down from £17, so don't expect top quality. Wickes have a sale on and there
swivel spout (no spay thingy) is about £48 down from about £68. "Probably"
a better buy.

But it is going to get scratched anyway, so better to buy 3 of the cheap
ones and replace as they get scratched.

Or the op could connect each one to the output of a separate combi and
have unlimited hot water for washing up in stereo. A win, win situation.

I think this is a better idea for the bathroom. A separate combi for
each body jet in the shower.

Many of these take a minimum of 8 to 10 litres on the hot and the cold, so
within the range of many combi's.

It is a different model of mixer. They look as if they may easily get
sctrached, so you may only last a month with 3 of them. If you are into the
spray things then getting three may be worth it.

And he could spray all the combi water all over the place. I really like
positive creative thinking.

Thought about getting one of these, what is the removable spout most
useful for?

I'd expect they are not much good on a gravity supply.

cheers,
Pete.

the pressure is low it might not be much good .

When you have a dishwasher, well not much. I had a rise hose once and
hardly used it.

If you take one, you forget all about uk.d-i-y, so nobody here knows.

We have a tap in our kitchen with a removable spout, find it very useful for
washing the cats :-)

On ours, the cold is mains, but the hot is not, I had to install a booster
pump for the hot, as it was only dribbling!

The only way I've seen that I can believe works is this:

===============================================
How To Wash A Cat
1. Thoroughly clean the toilet.

2. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water, and have
both lids lifted.

3. Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the
bathroom.

4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both
lids (you may need to stand on the lid so that he cannot escape). CAUTION:
Do not get any part of your body too close to the edge, as his claws will be
reaching out for any purchase they can find.

5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "power wash
and rinse" which I have found to be quite effective.

6. Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure that there are
no people between the toilet and the outside door.

7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both
lids.

8. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and run outside
where he will dry himself.

Sincerely,
The DOG

This fails at step 3 with most breeds.

Having said that, our Maine Coon kitten already likes water...
