MOEN EXPANDS LINE OF FAUCETS FEATURING MICROBAN® ANTIMICROBIAL
PROTECTION WITH INDI™ PULLDOWN KITCHEN FAUCET
Oakville, Ontario… Clean lines and sleek aesthetics are not the only things homeowners will
love about the new Indi™ pulldown kitchen faucet from Moen. Indi offers modern design and
convenience by utilizing Microban® antimicrobial technology to help keep the faucet finish visibly
cleaner and resist stain-causing bacteria.
“Indi’s design is clean and sleek – appealing to the growing market demand for more modern
faucet styles,” said Peter Fealy, vice president, sales and marketing, Moen Canada. “This new
pulldown faucet fits consumers’ lifestyles by offering the design and functionality homeowners
are looking for in the kitchen without the high price tag.”
Microban* antimicrobial protection is built into the faucet finish to fight against damaging
microbes, so homeowners can spend more time enjoying their home…and less time worrying
about keeping it clean. The innovative technology is engineered to work continuously, even
between cleanings, and won’t wash off or wear away with normal use which can help keep the
faucet finish cleaner, longer. The Microban protection is available on the Indi pulldown faucet in
Moen’s exclusive Spot Resist™ Stainless finish, which resists fingerprints and water spots to
maintain a brilliant finish.
The Indi pulldown kitchen faucet also includes an easy-to-use, multi-function pulldown wand
which allows users to switch between water-flow patterns with the touch of a button; including
powerful spray, aerated stream and pause. Additionally, the faucet features Moen’s innovative
Reflex® system which offers self-retraction of the spray wand as well as exceptional range of
motion, generous reach and secure docking. Indi also comes with a matching soap dispenser.
For fast, secure and hassle-free installation, Indi comes with Moen’s Duralock™ Quick Connect
system. A telltale "click" audibly ensures a secure connection when attaching the water lines to
the faucet.
The Indi pullldown kitchen faucet is also available in Chrome and features a limited lifetime
warranty. **
