keittiövedestä
Keittiövesi refers to the water supply specifically designated for use in the kitchen. This typically includes cold and hot water piped to the kitchen sink faucet, which is used for various domestic activities such as washing dishes, preparing food, and cleaning. The quality of keittiövesi is important as it directly impacts food safety and hygiene. In many regions, tap water intended for drinking and cooking, which falls under the umbrella of keittiövesi, is subject to strict regulatory standards to ensure it is safe for consumption. Some households may choose to further purify their keittiövesi through filters installed on faucets or under the sink, or by using countertop water filtration systems, to improve taste, remove contaminants, or soften the water. The temperature of the keittiövesi can vary depending on the household's water heating system, with hot water typically supplied by a water heater. The plumbing system delivering keittiövesi is an integral part of a home's infrastructure, connecting the main water supply to the kitchen fixtures.
