EROS water mixer MONOLIH

Use in professional and home kitchens

Monolith kitchen pre-rinse faucets support efficient rinsing of dishes and cookware in both professional HoReCa kitchens and private homes or apartments. In restaurants and cafés, they are typically installed near sinks or pre-rinse stations, where a strong water stream is needed to quickly remove food residue from large pans and pots before loading them into a dishwasher.

In home kitchens, these faucets are especially useful when cooking frequently or in larger quantities. The flexible hose and spray head allow users to easily rinse pans, baking trays and large pots, as well as reach every corner of the sink. This speeds up daily cleaning and improves ergonomics by reducing the need to move heavy items around the basin.

Monolith faucets combine professional functionality with a design suitable for home interiors. Compact models fit well into modern living spaces, while more powerful options meet the demands of intensive work in restaurant and canteen washing areas.

For food-service operators, such a faucet helps maintain a steady workflow and reduces the time spent on pre-washing. For private households, it provides a reliable and convenient tool that simplifies daily cleaning tasks.

Types and construction features of pre-rinse faucets

Monolith pre-rinse faucets are typically designed as spring-supported spray units with flexible hoses. The spring structure keeps the hose upright and allows smooth movement above the sink without losing control, even during frequent use. A powerful spray head delivers a concentrated water stream suited for fast rinsing.

Some models combine the pre-rinse unit with an additional spout for filling pots or the sink. This combined design is popular in HoReCa kitchens where the same station handles both rinsing and filling tasks. In home kitchens, users often choose more compact units with reduced height and hose length, while still benefiting from similar functionality.

High-quality faucets usually feature brass bodies with chrome coating and stainless-steel components. These materials withstand mechanical stress, temperature changes and make cleaning surfaces easier. Valve type and handle shape also play an important role in adjusting water flow quickly and precisely.

Monolith solutions are built for stable water pressure and frequent open–close cycles. Reinforced joints, seals and hoses are used to support heavy-duty operation in professional kitchens, while also providing reliable performance in active home environments.

Main selection criteria for HoReCa and home use

Selecting a pre-rinse faucet requires evaluating both workload intensity and available space. In restaurants and canteens, longer reach and stronger spray are often needed to handle large GN containers, pans and stock pots. Home kitchens usually require a more compact unit that does not obstruct the view and fits the interior design.

When comparing models, consider the following aspects:

• Material quality. Brass bodies, stainless-steel components and durable chrome finishes generally offer better longevity and easier cleaning.
• Hose length and flexibility. HoReCa setups often need a longer hose, while smaller home sinks work well with a shorter yet flexible option.
• Spray head patterns. Different spray modes help adjust flow intensity for heavy rinsing or gentler cleaning of more delicate items.
• Installation method. Wall-mounted or deck-mounted options should be matched with the existing sink layout and available space.
• Handle ergonomics. Comfortable, easy-to-grip handles reduce hand fatigue during longer use.

For private homes and apartments, a pre-rinse faucet often serves as a universal tool that balances practicality and aesthetics. Beyond technical criteria, it is worth considering how the faucet complements other appliances and furniture to ensure a visually harmonious result.

Maintenance, care and durability

Regular maintenance helps maintain stable water flow and extends the faucet’s lifespan. In areas with harder water, limescale may accumulate in the spray head and filter screens, gradually reducing spray intensity. Periodic cleaning of these parts restores proper flow without the need for replacement.

In HoReCa environments, faucets operate for long hours, so hoses and connections should be inspected regularly to detect signs of wear. Timely replacement of seals or hoses helps prevent leaks and unwanted downtime in the washing area.

In home kitchens, routine care is usually limited to wiping surfaces and descaling the spray head occasionally. After intensive use, lightly drying the hose and head reduces dripping and helps maintain a clean appearance.

Proper installation and balanced water pressure contribute significantly to long-term durability. Excessively high pressure accelerates wear, while too low pressure reduces rinsing efficiency. Therefore, overall kitchen workflow and connected equipment should be considered when selecting a suitable model.

Frequently asked questions about Monolith pre-rinse faucets

What are the main differences between professional and home pre-rinse faucets?

Professional faucets are usually taller, with longer hoses and stronger spray designed for intensive pre-washing in restaurants and canteens. Home users more often choose compact models with balanced flow for everyday convenience.

What hose length is suitable for a small kitchen sink?

The hose length should match the sink size and available overhead space. Smaller home sinks usually work well with a shorter hose that reaches all corners without hitting cabinets. Larger HoReCa washing zones often require a longer hose for handling big pots and containers.

How to maintain a pre-rinse faucet to reduce limescale buildup?

Limescale typically accumulates in spray heads and filter screens, so these parts should be rinsed and cleaned regularly. Surfaces can be wiped with a soft cloth, and after heavy use, drying the hose helps reduce dripping. Additional filtration may be considered in areas with very hard water.

Are Monolith pre-rinse faucets compatible with different sink types?

Compatibility depends on installation type, connection sizes and available space. Wall-mounted units are common in professional kitchens, while some models are suitable for deck installation. Checking technical specifications or consulting BHS specialists helps ensure a proper fit.

Which spare parts does BHS supply most quickly?

The most frequently needed spare parts include spray heads, flexible hoses, seals, handles and mounts, as these experience the most wear. BHS aims to keep these items in stock to restore faucet operation as quickly as possible.
