The amount of water available to the tap is important when choosing which product to buy. The cold water supply is at mains pressure so is generally not of importance; the tap, however, will require the correct amount of hot water pressure to perform satisfactorily. A range of kitchen taps compatible with low pressure situations are now available, although the vertical distance between the bottom of the header tank and the tap outlet gives an approximate calculation of the available hot water pressure. This is measured in bar pressure: 1 metre = 0.1bar, 2 metres = 0.2bar and so on. Low pressure kitchen taps can work on both gravity fed systems and pressurised systems too. They are also available in a range of traditional and modern styles, as well as popular finishes such as Chrome and Brushed. Popular brands of low pressure kitchen taps include Abode, Bluci, Caple and Reginox
