Waterstone Faucets was started in 1999 by its founder and president Chris Kuran. At its inception the company primarily provided top quality parts and finished components to large filtration manufacturers that made and sold drinking water systems. Recognizing a niche in the filtration faucet market, Chris decided to change course in 2002. Waterstone then began production of its own line of American Made, decorative filtration faucets. Using only the best materials and finishes, Waterstone’s new faucets matched the higher end kitchen faucets that were being sold for designer kitchens. By 2005, the program was a huge success, and the dealers began requesting other niche products. In typical fashion, Waterstone started from the ground up and designed, developed and engineered a full line of Kitchen Faucet products and accessories to match its filtration faucets.
