So we have this beautiful Grohe Minta (sort of upside down 7-shaped) kitchen faucet. We want to add a drinking water faucet next to it, but cannot find any filtered water faucet that goes with the Minta's looks.
So, I'm thinking of buying another kitchen or prep faucet, connect the cold water hose to the filters and cap the hot water connection.
Is this ok to do? Permissible?
Any issues we should be aware of? Flow, gpm? Connectors/adapters needed?
Here is a pic of the Grohe Minta:

Good idea. There's really no problem with that approach aside from the stagnant water that will accumulate in the faucet's hot water stub, which could be a health concern (or just gross).
Instead, split your filtered water supply and run it to both the hot and cold sides of the faucet. This has the additional benefit of making the faucet flow full in all temperature modes.
