They have these in Holles street underneath a sign showing you how to properly wash your hands using a dual flow tap.
Only time I’ve seen these is in pubs and restaurants etc….saving money on the water bill would be my guess
“It’s because the water from the hot tap is not drinkable due to being from the tank.”
“What about the cold tap”
“Jury’s out”
Because they come from different tanks and the hot water is dangerous to drink it was believed the hot could contaminate the cold if the systems were linked by singular tap.
Where else are we supposed to piss?
Well when I used to wash myself in the gutter I got some strange looks
God only knows.
These exist due to old regulations and inertia.
Mixing taps were previously prohibited in British (and Irish) code due to the risk of cross contamination of the hot and cold systems.
That’s a basin, the sink is in the kitchen. Savages.
Back in the day they had a few types of sinks and a few types of toilets.
Then the EU and all sorts of trade deals happened and people got notions and decided they want to spit their toothpaste on a designer sink worth a few grand and they want doors on the shelves under it but it has to be off the floor so that it can be mopped under.
Now when somebody’s toilet or sink breaks I have to either swap it out or spend hours looking for the suppliers.
There’s a 300 euro toilet seat now, only brand that fits the holes in the pan, and there is a concealed cistern that to get parts you have to sit in a showroom on the naas Road, be lucky to get a salesman that knows what he’s at, pay him and then drive to his warehouse diw the road and get the parts from there when the paperwork comes through.
Because they are the best, you put in some hot water and if it is too hot put in some cold. Those other taps are either too hot or too cold, you are constantly adjusting them.
Afaik the sink is kitchen, basin bathroom. Anyway low pressure systems with loft tanks meant only drinking water from taps was via mains supply in ktchen. Twin taps still default, seem more robust.
Maybe i like scolding my hands with the hot tap
What’s wrong with it, theyre simple to use, just turn on both taps, quickly swipe hands from hot to cold/cold to hot for an even temperature… and don’t forget to splash your crotch while doing so!.
It just baffles me these artefacts are still sold
Semi-related question: Why are the bathroom light switches always outside of the bathroom?
Germany, Poland and others still use the toilets with a shelf for the poo to land on, so…
The best part is the push taps which turn the water on for half a second before turning off.
Are you polish by any chance? I always hear the polish giving off about two taps FFS 😂
