ours would be going into the understairs cupboard (which backs on to the kitchen) so easy enough to divert the water through there as we're getting a lot of plumbing done atm.
We wouldnt have the cold water in the kitchen plumbed in so thats our drinking water sorted. The main reason we want it is for the bathroom tbh
