Instantly dispense boiling and chilled filtered water at the turn of a lever. Whether you’re making your favourite cup of tea or washing the dishes, these smart taps will transform the way you use your kitchen.
Child safety is also a priority and most have a built-in spring lock that prevents children from accessing boiling water unsupervised. They also have an energy saving sleep mode that switches the boiler off at a pre-determined time each day.
Stylish design
Instant boiling water taps remove the need for a kettle and help free up valuable worktop space in kitchens. Their sleek, contemporary design is ideal for modern kitchens and can fit into narrow sink areas.
Unlike traditional kettles, which can overheat, boiling taps deliver precise boiling temperatures at the touch of a button. They also use less energy than a traditional kettle, saving money on bills and cutting down plastic waste.
Some models, such as the Quooker IQ range, deliver true 100°C boiling water, while others like Billi’s tap offer a choice of temperature options from 88°C to 99°C. This allows them to cater for a wide variety of tasks, from making tea to sterilising baby bottles and means you can save on energy costs too. These taps are designed with child safety in mind and feature a spring-loaded handle that can’t be accidentally turned on by children. They are also affixed to the worktop so they can’t tip over like a kettle, which can cause burns.
Easy to use
The Grohe Red tap features a child lock tested and certified by German safety testing body TUV. It’s easy to use and has a textured metal ring above the lever that you push down twice to unlock (that’s the child lock) and then turn to control the flow of near-boiling water or filtered cold water. The spout is insulated so it’s cool to touch.
Having instant filtered boiling and chilled drinking water on tap means that you can easily cook and wash dishes without the need for kettles. It also helps you to keep up with your recommended five plus glasses of water a day.
5 in 1 taps can dispense boiling water, chilled drinking water and even sparkling water all from one under counter unit. This can save you time and space on your benchtop, and it’s also a great way to help reduce plastic bottle use. Our boiling and chilled taps are available in a range of finishes and styles to suit any home.
Easy to install
Boiling water taps allow you to instantly access piping hot water without ever having to boil a kettle. These advanced taps are powered by an under bench unit that’s concealed from view, and they come in a wide range of styles to suit any kitchen.
Designed to integrate seamlessly with your sink or bench top, you’ll have a streamlined appliance that does it all. From cooking to sterilising, boiling and chilled filtered water taps dispense all your household needs from one convenient, stylish, and environmentally-friendly source.
Filtered boiling only taps offer immediate access to piping hot water and help you make the switch from conventional kettles to more energy efficient appliances. These taps filter out flavour-ruining impurities to deliver untainted hot water for your tea, coffee, and cooking.
Boiling taps are a safe and easy-to-use alternative to traditional kettles, thanks to their child safety lock features. The Grohe Red offers an extra layer of safety with dual icons that must be pressed before the water will start to flow, and it’s tested and certified by German safety experts TUV.
Eco-friendly
A quality boiling water tap will feature system monitoring to ensure that the tank is heated to a stable temperature. This helps to save energy compared with a kettle that is continually reboiled.
Most tapping systems will also have an insulated spout and child-safe spring lock to help reduce the risk of accidental contact. They also come with a filtration system to reduce the risk of bacteria and moulds in your water.
Boiling water taps are a smart choice for those who want to be eco-friendly in their home. However, it’s worth noting that a tap will still require electricity to heat the water. For that reason, it is recommended to turn off your tap at night in order to save energy. In addition, a 4-in-1 tap will replace plastic water bottles, which can contribute to reducing unnecessary waste and carbon emissions. If your area has hard water, then we recommend regularly cleaning your taps to prevent the build-up of limescale. This can be done with a simple mixture of lemon juice and water (1:4) or vinegar.
