   I know this topic has come up before so sorry if for some this a repeat.

I need to replace the cheap kitchen sink faucet that came with my Pod and would like to replace it with a similar looking unit that I wouldn't have to drill or enlarge the present faucet holes in the counter. I'm hoping I can find a similar faucet at my big box home improvement store (Lowes) so I'm interested in finding the brand and model that others have used? Also, most important, is what am I looking at having to do to connect the present Pod kitchen sink plumbing to the new faucet I buy? Are there any plumbing adapters or special tools I will need to buy like possibly PEX crimp rings and pliers ???

	Real PEX crimpers are quite pricey. There are probably cheaper ways to secure them, but I don't know what they are.

	The two valve and spigot faucet is a standard 9" set up. Just go to the big box store and buy one. On ours they ran the pex all the way to the faucet with 1/2" fittings that went right onto the faucet. No pex cutting needed. We elected to get a single lever faucet so I had to re-plumb it, but it was easy and now we have a less intrusive faucet that pulls out and has a spray.
