All of our boiling water taps are capable of dispensing cold, hot and 98°C water, straight from the spout. However, 4-in-1 taps are capable of dispensing cold, filtered water, too. This means you and your family can drink crystal-clear water, free from impurities and unwanted minerals. This additional technology means 4-in-1 taps are a slightly higher price than 3-in-1 taps, but for many homeowners, it’s more than worth the additional cost. Don’t forget that you can split the cost of your tap into three interest-free payments with Klarna.
Our boiling water taps come with a spring-loaded safety handle, which means the boiling water function can’t be turned on accidentally or left on while you go somewhere else. The boiler tank and spout are also insulated, which means they don’t get as hot as the water running through them. You should still take sensible measures to prevent unwanted burns, such as supervising children when they’re in the kitchen.
Your new tap will arrive with everything you need to get it up and running. The main components are the spout/tap body, boiler tank and filter. The boiler tank is powered by a regular mains socket and plugged into your water mains. It works by heating the water to your specified temperature and maintaining it there. When you use the boiling water function, the water is pulled up and through the spout. The filter provided will either work with just the boiler tank or with both your boiler tank and mains water supply, removing impurities and ensuring your system has a longer lifespan.
