My invention idea adds an additional faucet to the bathroom whose water supply is sourced from the plumbing that supplies water to the kitchen rather than the plumbing that supplies water to the bathroom.
This solves a common problem where a spouse will ask another spouse to fetch a drink for them
in the middle of the night but admonishes that the drink mustn't be "bathroom water" despite the fact that the water is from the exact same source.

An explanation of the problem this idea seeks to solve. [gen1000, Oct 17 2009]

I was about to welcome gen1000 to the HB, but I see
you've been here for.....eight years! Welcome
nevertheless. |

I have to say, I'm not bowled over by this idea. [WcW]:
often (at least in older houses in many countries), much of
the house is fed from a header-tank in the loft, which is
not necessarily clean; often only the kitchen tap is fed
direct from the mains. |
|
| |
However, most modern houses now take all cold water
direct from the mains, and hence it's drinkable. There's no
need for an "extra" tap in the bathroom - the existing cold
tap is just fed from the main instead of from the header
tank. |

[EDIT: Ah, I see from your link that this is a psychology
thing. Aha. Yes. Well, in that case, I think the answer is
tell your spouse to stop being stupid or get their own
damned glass of water.] |

I like it, though I wouldn't be fooled, not now at
least. |
|

issa letsall, but I like the idea of a water-fountain, not only in the bathroom, but in the kitchen as well. |

"Why not just put a Brita filter on the bathroom faucet?" |
|
| |
Were this the "practicalbakery" I'd agree. |
|
| |
so what is different about your bathroom tap? if you brought a pipe from the kitchen why not simply make that the cold water supply, why retain the "bad water" supply? |
|

Oh no, not more Dr. Seuss .... |
|
| |
Why not have a small water tap in the bedroom, then ? It could be run through very small bore plastic pipe, which is no more difficult to install than electric cable, since a high flow rate will not be needed. |
