I want to replace my kitchen mixer tap with one that has a built in aerator or perlator to give a softer flow of water and looking at the Franke Sion which gives a "champagne-like water flow." My cold water is straight off the mains and hot is from an indirect supply with around 5.2 metres head so there is going to be some difference in pressures.
The question I have not been able to find an answer to is whether this type of tap is suitable. I am assuming that an aerator has some flow restriction as well as mixing air in the water flow but does that mean that the higher pressure cold water could cause back flow in the hot water?
Thanks for any advice.
