Give your customers more from their kitchen tap without adding more to the price tag.

Clearwater Products’ Twist & Spray range features a simple twist-action outlet that switches the water flow from a soft aerated flow to a more focused needle jet flow.

That added flexibility makes everyday kitchen tasks easier, from rinsing fresh produce to cleaning cookware and washing down the sink area.

For kitchen retailers, it is a clear value story: enhanced functionality, practical customer benefits, and no increased cost.

Discover the Twist & Spray range from Products.
