Boiling Water Taps

The key benefit of a hot water tap is efficiency in 3 key aspects – space, time and resources!

Space – Instant hot water tap is a fantastic solution to utilise your kitchen countertop space to the max. No cables are seen on the surface as the hot water tank and electricity cable are neatly stored below the sink, making the hot water tap a great space-saving and clutterless solution for kitchens of all sizes. 

Time – Instant access to hot water allows you to save time when cooking or preparing a hot beverage.

Resources  – When using a traditional kettle, we almost always overfill it, but with a hot water tap, we will only use as much water as we need for the drink or meal we are preparing, therefore saving water and energy. Not only this will help you make some monetary savings in the long run but also help your household be more sustainable by avoiding energy wastage..

Boiling water taps use a tank underneath your sink. This tank is plugged into the mains and your water supply. It heats the water and stores it at the correct temperature which means everytime you turn on the tap, the hot water is available instantly.

All Qettle boiling water taps dispense 100°C boiling water.

Instant boiling water taps are designed with enhanced safety features compared to traditional kettles, so you don’t accidentally turn them on.

All Qettle taps come with a safety clip which provides peace of mind for all the family. When in place, this clip makes accessing boiling water impossible but still allows access to filtered drinking water. When removed, an exact action is still required to obtain boiling water. Your Qettle’s spout is insulated too, so apart from the tip, is always safe to touch.

Yes, water from hot water taps is completely safe to drink. All Qettle boiling taps come with a water filter, making it even safer and more convenient to provide safe hot and cold water for your family.

All our boiling taps require an industry-standard 35mm hole for installation. Compatible with Belfast sinks and up to 30mm thick worktops, our taps are one of the most versatile boiling water taps available on the market today.

Boiling water taps are economical and energy-efficient when compared to using a standard kettle – saving energy, water and money. So much water and energy are wasted by using a kettle daily especially if you pour out old pre-boiled water to re-fill the kettle before boiling again.

In contrast, our boiling water taps cost just 4.5 c to run per day! Most of us also tend to overfill our kettle, or even boil it twice if we have forgotten about it. This leads to lots of wasted energy and water. Instant boiling water tap solves this problem, allowing you to use just as much as you need – making them more energy efficient, too.

If only one or two cups are 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 may affect the reheat time.

A boiling water tap should not be turned off as it costs more to heat up water from cold than maintain the temperature of hot water inside the tank. The unit is designed to be on constantly to give you instant boiling water when you require it.

Yes, it can be used in a hard water area. The Q08 water filter has been formulated from a superior quality carbon block that reduces limescale deposits on the heating element of the boiler unit. However, for best results, the boiling water tap should be installed with a water softener that will eliminate limescale from throughout the house.
