Installing an undersink water filter

My parents have a 3-hole sink in their kitchen. Their current filter is attached to the faucet and is bulky and gets in the way.

I want to replace their faucet for them with something that uses the three holes in the sink for:

1. Unfiltered water (for things other than drinking)
2. Filtered water
3. Soap dispenser

Does something exist like this, or would a 4th hole need to be put in the sink?

Thanks!

I was thinking all I need is a carbon filter to eliminate the chlorine taste. RO isn't really necessary. I'd like one that has a reservoir so there's some decent pressure for filling a glass of water, of such a filter exists that'd fit in a standard sink hole.

I'll check out the Watts ones, thanks.

I'll say this--I put an undersink unit in my house some years back. An Omni-Filter (I think), and I did have to install a separate small faucet. We have a high chlorine content water source. Now,there is filtered water for cooking, drinking, etc., and city water for washing dishes, etc. I like my filtered water. David

I have 80 psi in this house, I was hoping it might reduce it a few psi :laughing:

I have 3/4" coming in, it used to step down but a plumber fixed that
I did not notice any drop in pressure
When our kitchen is remodeled an RO system in the basement will feed a dedicated faucet
Hopefully then my wife will stop buying bottled water in small bottles

My parents' house has 180 PSI coming in...they reduce it to 50 with a regulator...i wish they would change it to about 65 PSI...50 is a little low for me. How often do you have to change your filters, being that everything in your house is on it for now?
