Problems with Pureflow Faucet Adapter

[PrimeTimer]

Most (commercially owned) apartments I've lived you're not to tamper with their plumbing. This includes their faucets. Sometimes just getting them to fix or replace something that is old and worn out is like pulling teeth. Everything must be approved by their management and if it is, they use their own maintenance staff or a plumber they have contracted with.

I've been doing an online search of apartments and noticed that these days, a lot of them have gooseneck faucets. Personally, I don't care for them but that's not my worry. In some of the pictures I can tell that the aerator at the end of a gooseneck can be screwed off just like the aerator on a standard faucet, which makes screwing on the Pureflow adapter very easy. However, some goosenecks appear to not have an aerator or if they do, it's up inside the faucet ?? not sure where it's at but not necessarily visible in pictures. That's why I wondered if anyone who uses the NxStage Pureflow faucet adapter has used one on a gooseneck.

As for the "under-the-sink" connectors, if I thought I could get away with it and install one on my own without busting anything, no problem. Otherwise, I doubt any apartment manager would approve of their staff installing one for anybody.

Right now we use the faucet adapter and it works well for us but we have the good ol' fashioned standard faucet so it's easy.

Another option is the under-counter adapter that goes on the water line to the sink.   If it is not practical to use the sink adapter, your clinic will probably arrange to have a plumber do this at no charge to you.

I started home hemo with the Baby K, which got me a nice in-wall dedicated water supply/drain right next to the dialysis machine.   Works wonderfully with the NxStage I am using now.

A setup like that would be a real bonus. I could see something like that being approved for a house but not for someone living in a large commercially-owned apartment building. Plumbing is way different.

Familiarize yourself with the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), and ask the apartment manager for the name of the attorney who handles ADA compliance issues.

I concur! Having been an assistant apartment manager in my way younger days...we installed quote a few specialty faucets in apartments for some of the renters

Guess I won't know unless I ask. We are thinking of moving next year. For the heck of it, I started looking online at apartments and discovered many have those gooseneck faucets now. That's what got me wondering about the faucet adapter. Actually, I guess there's a lot of things we'll have to keep in-mind when we move....dialysis setup and supplies, location, amenities, neighbors, electricity, running water, violent crimes, drug dealers lurking at all hours, shootings..etc, etc..you know, just the usual stuff...*sigh* I wish we could get another dog.
