However, earlier (9:9 p. 87) he clarifies that a faucet or filter attached to the ground is not chayav in tevilat kelim because it isn't a kli.

Rav Nissim Karelitz (Chut Shani p. 22) writes that a sink faucet is exempt from tevilat kelim because it is an extension of the pipes.</ref>

Some authorities are of the opinion that anything which must be plugged into the wall in order to be used is halachically considered as if it were attached to the ground and anything which is attached to the ground is exempt from tevilat keilim. <Ref> Chelkat Yaakov 1:126 </ref> Most authorities, however, reject this comparison and require even electrical items to be immersed just like all others. While some of these authorities require the entire item to be immersed along with all its electrical components, others say that only the actual components which come in direct contact with food need be immersed. <Ref> Igrot Moshe Y.D. 1:57-58, Chelkat Yaakov 3:43 </ref>		# Modern-day electrical appliances present the mitzva of tevilat keilim with its biggest challenge.
