Boiling Water Taps - Are They Worth It?

Instant hot or boiling water when you need it, extra counter space and a cool new gadget in your kitchen all sound amazing but the question is, are boiling water taps worth it? Other than convenience, should you include one in your kitchen renovation plans?

Discover the pros and cons of boiling water taps in the article below.

Boiling Water Taps Need to be Professionally Installed

Fitting a boiling water tap isn't as straight forward as a standard kitchen tap. The tap itself has to be plumbed in, hooked up to the boiler and the boiler connected to your mains electricity supply. Boiling taps can be installed in an existing kitchen, but are more commonly included as part of a kitchen renovation.

Not All Boiling Water Taps Provide Boiling Water

The difference between a boiling water tap and a hot water tap is usually only a few degrees in temperature. Rubberduck Bathrooms' hot water taps dispense up to 98 degrees celsius. As a user, you won't be able to tell the difference and you'll get just as much use out of 98-degree water as 100.

Boiling and Hot Water Taps Provide Hot Water Instantly

No more waiting around for the kettle or realising theirs not enough boiled water for your pot of pasta. With an instant hot water tap, you simply hold your cup or pan under the tap, turn the handle and get the temperature you need instantly.

A Boiling Water Tap Will Streamline Your Kitchen

When it comes to kettles, you have hundreds to choose from in all kinds of price brackets. Lots of newer kettles do look very sleek and minimalist, but nothing is more minimalist than no kettle at all. A boiling water tap replaces both your kettle and your current kitchen taps with one sleek unit. This makes instant hot water taps the perfect choice for an ultra-modern and minimalist kitchen renovation.

Boiling Water Taps are Safe For Families

The prospect of a tap that dispenses near-boiling water could be a worry to those with small children, which is more than understandable. Our most budget-friendly hot water tap is the 3-in-1 Instant Hot Water Tap by Francis Pegler and it comes with a child safety mechanism for ease of mind. The tap works like any other with a handle that controls water flow and temperature, but when boiling water is needed it has a tensioned spring-loaded dial with safety button.
