I didn't really "get" this pull down, lever thing etc.
but, here in the office, I just went to the kitchen and had to fill my watering can, then it hit me.
Oh, this is what he was talking about.
The faucet we have, is pull down, and the cold is the lever pushed to the back, the hot to the front.
I looked to see what brand it was, but was not able to see what it was, and the woman that designed our new kitchen (less than 2 years) is no longer here, so I can't ask her.
The faucet does pull down ( love it) and it is a brushed nickel, like a dull gray, but really nice and the water that comes out has a nice flow and sound, maybe like a good aerator to make it that way, I dont know.
And why is this bad? I have the legal right to know what are people's preferences. You should keep out of this thread if you have a problem with it, because it is your problem and not mine.
I was wondering, which convention for temperature do you prefer for pulldown kitchen faucets, back-hot and forward-cold, or the opposite? Moen and Kohler usually follow the former, while Delta usually follows the latter, although it depends on which way the installer hooked up the supply lines. I was surprised to learn there is no universal industry-standard convention for pulldown kitchen faucets that have the handle on the side.
I prefer the former. We usually like to keep our kitchen faucet on hot, and it just seems nicer to have the handle standing up in the hot position. From what I also heard, there are safety reasons for having that convention as well, since natural reflexes would pull the handle forward for cold in an emergency.
I had mine installed (and purchased it for this reason) so that my HOT is to the right and COLD is to the left—
Not front and back…
Much more sensible and easy to remember

Don't you mean hot on the left and cold on the right?
If not, prepare for your houseguests to be confused at the least and possibly scalded at the worst.
Pull forward and blue tinted water is dispensed.
Go back and pink tinted water…
Watch your friends and family freak out.
Most of my single handle faucets have had a super simple water temperature indicator band incorporated into the lever. Turn the lever to hot, the band shows red. Turn it to cold, it's blue. No fancy electronics or batteries required and its pretty idiot proof.

Moen has recently introduced the Moen Haelyn ColorCue, a pull-down kitchen faucet with a hydroelectric powered temperature LED indicator. No batteries or external power required.

Not referring to indicator bands.
Colored water according to temperature.
