Installation of a boiling water tap

4. Position your new tap in the desired place on your sink. Ensure that the tap is in reaching distance to the hot and cold water feeds, and is near a safe plug socket.
5. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions that came with your hot tap. Usually, you’ll start by drilling a hole in your sink, again the dimensions of this hole will differ from tap to tap, so refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the size.
6. Use the fixings that came with the hot water tap to install the water heater under your sink. Ensure that it’s at a secured level.
7. You’ll now need to feed the pipework from the tap to the heating unit. The pipework and the installation for it will be in the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Before you plug in your hot water tank, switch your water supply back on and allow the water to flow from your taps.
9. To fill your hot water tap, turn the handle into the on position and hold for about 90 seconds. When the water boiler tank is full, water should begin to flow from your hot water tap.
10. Switch off the tap and check for any leaks from your water tap boiler.
11. If your boiler is watertight, you can plug the boiler into the power socket and switch it on.
12. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for information on how to use your hot water tap.

Boiling water taps are essentially a heavily insulated tank of water that is connected to a tap that sits on your kitchen counter. The water is brought to boiling point within the tank and held there for a continuous supply of hot water. The tank for a boiling tap roughly has 25 cups per hour of hot water.

Although the cost of the appliance, and the installation if you’ve paid for a professional fitter, can be fairly costly, your monthly energy bills will be reduced. However, there will only be a significant difference if you and your family are boiling the kettle multiple times a day on separate occasions.

All our Boiling water taps are compatible with a low-pressure system.

If you need to discuss this more please contact us on [email protected].

If you are using the boiling water side it produces 1.9 litres at any temperature and the flow rate does not drop.

The tank holds 2.4 litres but once exhausted there will be a slight drop while the tank is re-heating.

The other handle provides normal mixed tap water so this will depend on your own water pressure in the property.

Yes, our 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 is wasted by using a kettle daily especially if you pour out old pre-boiled water to re-fill the kettle before boiling again. A full kettle uses a lot of energy to heat up while a boiling water tap costs a lot less and provides you with the amount of hot water required in seconds.

For more information on the energy-efficiency of boiling taps, please take a look at our innovation section.

Hot water tap temperatures will differ depending on the manufacturer and the model that you’ve chosen. In general, the highest temperature for most boiling water taps is 100 degrees Celcius.

Boiling tap water is known to make water taste better. This is because you’re boiling away any chemicals that may be surviving in your water. However, in this country, our water is cleaned and is safe to drink, so boiling it for the taste will be a personal preference.
