FAQS

Your new tap is plumbed in to a small boiler, which usually fits neatly in under the sink. The boiler tank takes cold water from your existing kitchen cold water feed and heats up the 2.4 litre tank of water. You normal hot water feed works exactly as it did previously supplied from you main household hot water tank or boiler.

You can set the temperature to 5 different settings to give you the temperature you require – remember different teas need different temperatures and never 100c, as this will soil the taste. Temperature will also scald and damage beans which results in giving it a bitter taste.

Boiling Water Taps replace your kettle and are ideal for making any hot drink requiring boiling water or any cooking application requiring boiling water from boiling your eggs or cooking pasta to blanching vegetables or boiling water to cleaning a floor.

We estimate between 5 or 6 typical cups of boiling water before the unit needs to reheat the water.

If only one cup is drawn off the tap the heater will be back up to the maximum temperature in under a minute. If fully drawn down it normally takes 4 minutes to get back to maximum temperature. From new or being turned off allow 7-8 minutes. The temperature of the mains water will affect the reheat time.

Yes, often quoted as safer than a kettle, which can accidentally be dropped, or boiling water is spilt.

1. By storing the water just under 100c you get the benefits of instant boiling water with no spitting as the pressurised steam is turned back into a liquid.
2. The tap spout is designed with cool to touch built in so it never gets hot.
3. The tap a has a built in boiling water handle with a child safe button so it can not be accidentally turned on and is sprung so when released it automatically turns the water off.

We advise not to turn them off as it costs more to heat up water from cold than keep boiling water hot. The unit is designed to be on constantly to give you the instant boiling water when you require it.

With modern insulation heat loss is minimised and with only 1.5 kw of energy is used to boil the water running costs are estimated to be less than 3 p per day.

It is estimated that a boiling water tank will cost approximately 3 p per day, a single use kettle to boil 1 litre of water is 2p, so if you make several hot drinks a day not only will the boiling water tap save you time but money also.
