Use in professional kitchens
Olimpo water taps make work easier in kitchens where large dishes must be washed frequently and sizeable pots filled. The high spout and wide movement range allow easy access to deep sinks, helping to keep the workflow smooth even during peak hours. Restaurants, canteens, production kitchens and catering companies often install these faucets in zones where speed and ergonomics define the overall work rhythm.
The pre-rinse function helps remove food residues from dishes before washing, which speeds up dish turnover. The additional height makes it easier to fill large pots, which is essential for chefs who regularly work with soups, broths and sauce bases.
Main features of Olimpo faucets
Stainless steel. Olimpo models usually rely on durable stainless steel and chromed components that withstand long-term exposure to moisture. Flexible hoses. They allow you to easily change the direction of water flow and clean hard-to-reach areas behind dishes or equipment.
Ceramic cartridges usually provide smooth flow control and precise temperature adjustment, which helps maintain a stable process in a professional kitchen. Pre-rinse modes are often optimised for pre-washing, while the fixed stream is used for filling pots and containers. An ergonomic handle makes prolonged use easier and supports natural movement throughout the day.
The taller models offer more freedom of movement because the spout does not touch large containers and does not force staff to change working position. This is especially useful where large pots are used on a regular basis.
Models and their differences
In professional kitchens, pre-rinse faucets with a flexible hose and base, as well as wall-mounted models, are most commonly used. Deck-mounted versions are practical in sink blocks where there is free space and more vertical movement is needed directly downward.
Wall-mounted faucets are convenient where sinks are deep and maximum clearance is required so that the water stream does not interfere with work. Some models are designed only for pre-rinse mode, while others also offer a fixed, solid stream that is typically used for filling pots.
Most differences between models come down to height, hose length and handle position, all of which influence comfort and precision in daily work.
What to check before purchase
Before choosing, operators usually assess the installation location and sink depth. High models should reach the centre of the container without putting excessive load on the flexible hose. The working radius depends on both the spout height and the hose flexibility.
It is important to pay attention to mounting fixtures so they can withstand the dynamic movements of daily use. Water flow rate can vary, so in zones with frequent pre-washing, more powerful spray modes are usually selected.
- check spout height and hose length in relation to the container and sink;
- make sure the handle is comfortable for prolonged use;
- evaluate the quality of materials and ceramic cartridges;
- decide on the mounting type — deck-mounted or wall-mounted;
- check whether the model offers both pre-rinse and fixed stream modes.
