(KABC) (KABC) — When you’re re-doing your kitchen you can spend more than $600 just for a new faucet. But is faucet that sells that much really worth it?

It’s not unusual for home owners to spend thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars to re-model their kitchens.

So a few hundred dollars for a faucet may not seem like that much money.

We teamed up with Consumer Reports to test more than a dozen faucets.

Lisa De Dona says customers looking for a kitchen faucet have to decide on the finish as well as the style.

“Do they like polished chrome, brushed nickel, polished nickel, brushed chrome?” asked Lisa De Dona. “There’s so many different finishes that they can choose.”

Consumer Reports just tested 16 faucets, from chrome to brushed bronze. Prices ranged from $80 to $600, including a hands-free faucet that goes for nearly $500.

One test evaluates if a finish scratches.

The New World’s earliest known example of engineered water pressure was discovered by two Penn State archaeologists in the Mayan city of Palenque, Mexico.

“Water pressure systems were previously thought to have entered the New World with the arrival of the Spanish,” the researchers wrote in a recent issue of the Journal of Archeological Science. But this water feature predates the arrival of Europeans.

The city of Palenque was built around the year 100 in a constricted area with little land to build on and spread out to. By the time the city’s population hit its zenith during the Classic Maya period from 250-600, Mayans had saved precious urban space by routing streams beneath plazas using aqueduct-like structures.

The pressurized water feature is called Piedras Bolas Aqueduct, a spring-fed channel on steep terrain.  From the tunnel’s entrance to its outlet 200 feet downhill, the elevation drops about 20 feet and its diameter decreases from 10 feet near the spring to about a half a foot where the water emerges. This combination of a downhill flow and sudden channel restriction pressurized the water, shooting it from the opening to an estimated height of 20 feet.
