ʻO ka faucet kahi mea hana no ka lawe ʻana i ka wai mai kahi ʻōnaehana paipu. Hiki iā ia ke komo i kēia mau ʻāpana: spout, lima (s), lift rod, cartridge, aerator, keʻena hui, a me nā puka wai. Ke ho'ā ka pahu, wehe ka valve a hoʻomalu i ka hoʻoponopono kahe wai ma lalo o kekahi kūlana wai a i ʻole ka wela. Hana ʻia ke kino faucet me ke keleawe, ʻoiai ua hoʻohana ʻia ka zinc die-cast a me ka plastic-plated chrome.
ʻO ka hapa nui o nā faucets noho hoʻokahi a i ʻole ʻelua-mana pahu pahu. Ke hoʻohana nei kekahi mau ʻano mana hoʻokahi i ka metala a i ʻole nā polokalamu palaki, e hana ana ma ke kū pololei. Hoʻohana ka poʻe ʻē aʻe i ka pōpō metala, me ka hoʻopaʻa ʻia ʻana o nā wepa i hoʻopiha ʻia i ka puna i loko o ke kino o ka faucet. ʻO nā faucets ʻelua-mana liʻiliʻi loa i loaʻa nā pahu pahu nylon me nā sila ʻōpala. Loaʻa i kekahi mau faucets kahi pahu pahu ceramic-disc i ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi.
Pono nā faucets e mālama i nā kānāwai mālama wai. Ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ua kaupalena ʻia nā kīʻaha ʻauʻau i ka 2 gal (7.6 L) o ka wai i kēlā me kēia minuke, ʻoiai ua kaupalena ʻia nā ʻauʻau wai a me nā ʻauʻau wai i 2.5 gal (9.5 L).
E holo ana nā faucets ma ka awelika o ʻewalu mau minuke i kēlā me kēia lā (pcd), e like me kahi noiʻi a ka American Water Works Association Research Foundation i hoʻopau ʻia i ka makahiki 1999 i hoʻokumu ʻia ma ka ʻikepili hoʻohana wai i hōʻiliʻili ʻia mai nā hale noho 1,188. I kēlā me kēia lā ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka wai i loko o ka hale ma 69 gal (261 L), me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka faucet ʻekolu kiʻekiʻe loa ma 11 gal (41.6 L) pcd. Ma nā hale noho me nā mea mālama wai, ua piʻi nā faucets i ka lua ma 11 gal (41.6 L) pcd. Ua pili loa ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka faucet i ka nui o ka hale. ʻO ka hoʻohui ʻana o nā ʻōpio a me nā pākeke e hoʻonui i ka hoʻohana wai. Hoʻopili maikaʻi ʻole ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka faucet i ka nui o ka poʻe e hana ana ma waho o ka home a ʻoi aku ka haʻahaʻa no ka poʻe i loaʻa kahi mīkini holoi kīʻaha.
