Boiling water taps are becoming an increasingly popular for good reason. In this helping hand guide we take you thorough everything you need to know about boiling water taps.
What Is A Boiling Water Tap?
Boiling water taps are just like regular taps but are also capable of dispensing boiling water instantly. With the turn of a lever you can have piping hot water without the need to wait for a kettle to boil or a saucepan to warm up.
How Do Boiling Water Taps Work?
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.
Boiling Water Tap Installation
Boiling water tap installation is relatively simple. It can be fitted in the same way as a regular tap with the addition of the tank. Although you won’t need to call an electrician, we recommend having a plumber install your boiling water tap as there are more connections than a standard tap and very hot water involved.
If you want to install a boiling water tap you’ll need to make sure you have enough space for the tank, which is usually fitted underneath your sink. You’ll also need a standard plug socket relatively close by.
