The ultimate faucet

It's just another gadget for people with too much money.

The more complicated the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain.
 
Looks like a standard toilet bowl that had the tank removed and a large surface level placed to cover the hole! :laugh:

As a useful faucet it's probably stupid indeed. But then I just like it for the stylishness of its design not its real world practicality. Sort of like marvelling at an extremely stylishly designed piece of architecture that might be completely impractical to live or work in.

I think if I were serious about buying a designer faucet and had money to blow I'd get something more like this:

I don't really see how it's impractical, in my mind the motion is practically the same as any faucet that you have to lift and rotate an arm to turn it on and control the temperature. Only trouble I see si that the ball should be held down so that it can't be taken off and lost.

Place bucket under p-trap/j-trap.
Remove trap.
Dump contents into bucket.
Replace trap.
Remove ball from bucket.
Replace ball on faucet.
Pour remaining contents of bucket down drain.
Repeat weekly.

I don't know why the designer didn't magnetize the drain to hold the ball if it were to fall...it'd be an easy fix....

The water comes out horizontally. Add a decent amount of water pressure and imagine what happens.
