Boiling water taps for UK kitchens

Hot Water Taps is a British retailer specialising in kitchen taps that dispense instant boiling water, as well as conventional hot and cold water. Its catalogue is organised around 3-in-1, 4-in-1 and 5-in-1 configurations, and the company presents itself as a supplier of boiling water taps for homes and businesses across the country.

Types of taps and functions

The range is divided according to the number of integrated functions:

• 3-in-1: mains hot and cold water plus filtered 98 °C boiling water.
• 4-in-1: adds filtered cold drinking water to the above functions.
• 5-in-1: includes filtered cold water and sparkling water, in addition to the functions of the 4-in-1 models.
• Chilled & boiling water taps: combine hot and cold water, filtered boiling water and filtered cold water.
• Pull out hose boiling water taps: available in 3-in-1, 4-in-1 and 5-in-1 versions, with a flexible spray.

Collections and finishes

The catalogue includes several collections: Avista 3-in-1, Artesano 3-in-1, Artisan Pro Flex 3-in-1, Astra 3-in-1 with pull out hose, Quantum 4-in-1, Platinum Plus 4-in-1 with pull out hose, Sapphire 4-in-1 and Crystal 5-in-1 with sparkling water. The taps are available in finishes such as chrome, gunmetal, copper, bronze, brushed gold, brushed nickel and matt black. Depending on the model, the spout can be swan neck, D-shaped or flexible.

Filtration and water quality

The company highlights that its taps incorporate filters that reduce limescale and bacteria, with the aim of improving the taste and odour of the water. The 3-in-1 models offer filtered boiling water using activated carbon, while the 4-in-1 models add filtered cold water. The firm presents this filtered water as a healthy option for daily consumption.

Tanks and chillers

The site details the tank specifications: one 4-litre tank (197 mm wide, 290 mm deep and 260 mm high) and another 2.4-litre tank (178 mm wide, 245 mm deep and 275 mm high). It also describes a chiller that is installed under the sink, connects to the mains water supply and cools the water to around 4 °C for instant dispensing. The company offers the option of replacing a standard tank with a 4-litre one for £99, an option designed for large families or offices.
