State of the art boiling water tank technology
The secret to the success of the system is in the unassuming innovative boiler tank unit which discreetly slips away under your sink unit to do all the hard work. The compact stainless-steel tank is not under mains pressure, so the system is unvented and therefore no excess water is discharged to drain. The inner tank has several electrical safety features. A temperature sensor to give an accurate digital external reading of the current water temperature. A float sensor detecting the water level in the tank, this avoids dry start that would damage the boiler. An overheat stat to ensure the unit never overcooks.


Tank Features:

• The inner tank is fully insulated and energy efficient helping to maintain the tank temperature.
• Brushed stainless steel surround complimented with a smoked glass top that incorporates digital touch control and functional colour display.
• The appliance is supplied with a carbon rod filter designed for absorption and removal of calcium, magnesium, odour, dirt and particles, etc.
• Compact in design to fit discreetly into your base unit (Overall height 330mm, Width 230mm, Depth 210mm).
• Temperature adjustable from 75 - 98°C

Specification:

• Tank capacity: 2.4 Ltrs

    I've got a qettle. Was a bit dubious and worried about the cost but it's been fantastic. Get yourself a smart plug and have it turn off overnight, saves some pennies
    aLV426's avatar
    On idle they use less than 3W, let's say you turn it off for 12 hours of the day, that would be, lets say 3W x 12 hours, if you use the UK price cap of electricity at a rate of £0.27 per kWh (incl. VAT) then than equates to a saving of £0.00972 per 12 hours. Multiply that by 365 days and that's a yearly saving of £3.55.
    Now factor in the cost of the smart plug and the cost of running it (Depending on the model it'll add about an additional 2~3W when powered on and probably around 1~2W when off).
    So if you where to use a smart plug with this device you would actually increase the electricity cost!

    Kettles never break down these do.
    Openttdbeer's avatar
    Also these aren’t actually boiling, so if you like decent tea these aren’t the solution.
  3. IllDigATunnel's avatar
    Anyone know what the power consumption is on these?
    aLV426's avatar
    The detail is on the web page:
    • Rated Input: 1.5kw
    • Rated Voltage: 220-240V ac, 50HZ
    • Standby Power: 2.2w
    It doesn't give the duration of sustained power draw, I very much doubt this would see a continuous 1.5kW draw for longer than 5~10 minutes at a time. How frequently would you use it on a daily basis?
    6 times a day would equal an hour @ 1.5kW and at the current (no pun intended) UK Price Cap (Oct 2023) electricity rate of £0.27 per kWh (incl. VAT) that would cost £0.41, assuming it would go to idle for the remaining 23 hours at lets say 3W that would be a total of about 2 pence. So about 43 pence per day...
    £0.43 x 365 = £156.95 per year assuming an hour a day.

    Doesn’t appear to provide boiling water, only 98C. Makes a huge difference when making eg tea.

    Also variant we had rusted and needed new tank, then tap started leaking. (edited)
    MMeldrum's avatar
    If the water came out at 100C wouldn’t it become a steam tap?
  5. mm252's avatar
    So......are these worth it or not??
    Dodge62's avatar
    Are they worth it? Depends who you ask. Anyone who has one, the answer is a resounding "yes". Anyone who doesn't will probably argue (wrongly) that a kettle is just as good and (rightly) that it's around 10% of the price.

    This is one of the best gadgets I bought this year. Got a Qettle 4-1 at Amazon. £500, but has the regular cold/hot water, filtered water and boiling 100C water. You need to change the filter every 6 months, but come cheaper than the brita’s. The instant boiling water is spectacular, and as someone said above, 100C vs 95/98C is what will determine the price. Grohe has a model the goes for 2 grand. It does take some space under the sink, but is less than you think. Would avoid the cheap models …
  7. hairymammoth's avatar
    A kettle cost about 6p to boil a full amount , so would take an awful long time to pay for itself . Yes , it might be instant but uses electric 24/7 if left on full time which is what it’s designed for .
    Yoshi123's avatar
    According to Npower it cost 3p per day to keep the boiler on

    I entered the correct price, but it glitched and showed that price when I pressed submit 🤷‍♂️

    A boiling hot water tap was the best buy we have made this year, love it, they are game changers
    Porsche_did_911's avatar
    I'm sold on the idea, sadly it's the cupboard space is a premium in our kitchen
  10. James_Hunter-Jones's avatar
    Yeah, we moved into house with one... the booking water function broke within 6 months
    adsr372142's avatar
    You have to book water?
  11. toonarmani's avatar
    We have a Quooker tap and its excellent
    DelboyTrotter22's avatar
    Getting one installed did you also get a filter or not
  12. Sphere's avatar
    Do not buy to save money, they won't. It's basically a hot water tank, being kept hot 24/7. You're buying these for convenience.
    Yoshi123's avatar
    "Boiling water taps use much less electricity than kettles, making them very energy efficient and budget-friendly! While each model is slightly different, in general they use 3p per day or 6% of your energy bill per year, while a kettle uses a massive 2.5p per boil (according to Npower). "

    But still buying one is main cost so have no idea how long it will take bofer the investment pays back

    Cost of running my one: schedule: off 0:00, On 8:00

    I have a Franke 3in1 model

    Remember: you have to change filters as well. (edited)
  14. ahotukdeal's avatar
    Max 85ºc? Need 95ºc minimum for my Yorkshire tea. I notice the difference when brewing at a lower temp... Not sure how they can call it "boiling" when it is incapable of boiling...

    I have this tap but slightly different boiler, 2+ years and going strong, deffo a must have, use it for boiling water for veggies and pasta too
  16. Barbaira's avatar
    I've had a Quooker for about seven years. If it broke tomorrow I'd replace it with the same. I would always boil the kettle at least three times before actually making a drink. I also use it for boiling water for cooking and washing dishes. No need to have a tank of hot water, you can run the boiling water and cold water simultaneously for dishes
    L33TL33's avatar
    Wonder which costs more on the electric bill tho. Does it constantly keep the water hot and ready or rapid heat it when needed?
  17. bil.hussain's avatar
    We have these type of thing at work.

    Do not feel the water is hot enough when compared to a kettle. (edited)
  18. pazzyt's avatar
    I have one of those Breville kettle like things that boils and dispenses a cupfull at a time, simple and easy .
    deathtrap3000's avatar
    We got one and would rather have spent the extra and got one of these. The hot cup is ok, but you still wait for the water to boil then dispense, still need to fill it up all the time when empty, and either dispenses too much so then some gets emptied out or too little so you need to run it again and somehow run it again to get the right amount you need.
  19. ok11's avatar
    Do you have to faff about with filters, descaling etc?
    jamhops's avatar
    Yes
  20. Stix's avatar
    Bought a similar one of these 6 weeks ago from Amazon, looks the same but under a different name. The downside for me is we lost half a cupboard, however we now wouldn't be without it. The water is hot enough for tea/coffee, the only difference I've noticed is the drink goes cold quicker than from a kettle. It's also great for cooking as saves so much time waiting for saucepans to come to the boil. I can't comment on the longevity or changing the filter yet. When ours does break will probably replace with a more expensive version.
    rborob's avatar
    I'm curious.. How can hot water cool down quicker depending on it's origin? Surely hot is hot...
  21. darknesskai's avatar
    What’s the point of these things? Just cheaper than a kettle?
    simonc23's avatar
    The instant nature of it. Apparently people can’t wait 45 seconds to book a cup of water any more
  22. Sphere's avatar
    Can you use any filters? The ones made for this seem to be about £30 a pop?
    Yoshi123's avatar
    It needs to be similar type of filter, most important is to get one with correct fittings but I think most of them are arond £30
  23. ribs1's avatar
    Had two of these now, lasts about 3 years then the tank leaks tripping the fusebox. I've not replaced the second one . Miss the instant boiling water for veg but given the costs of an always boiling tank, the kettle is cheaper. Still have the three in one tap that's still working.
    EN1GMA's avatar
    Exactly same happened to me. Manufacturer has gone bust and retailer doesn't want to know.

    Curious to know which one you had and where from (edited)
  24. boble's avatar
    The only product whichever dispenses water out of a tap at 100 degrees is Quooker. Sadly, very expensive. Great product though. Cheaper imitations are not the same.
    AamirQuazi's avatar
    that wouldnt be water but steam then!!!
  25. sc597's avatar
    These look like a great idea but I have to admit I have panic attacks every time I see the tv ads for them - where the parent fills a saucepan with boiling water and a second later a child grabs the same tap and drinks straight out of it!
    Yoshi123's avatar
    Yep, they should have fridge with water dispenser
  26. 999kernow's avatar
    Boiling water actually scalds leaves leaving bitter flavours. Black teas like English Breakfast Tea should be brewed at approximately 95ºc, so just off the boil, which gives a good, deep infusion without burning the leaves when the water is added
  27. K3etg's avatar
    We just had a new kitchen installed and rather than sell us an expensive boiling water tap (which we originally wanted) the kitchen planner advised avoid as always breaking down and expensive to fix. His advice - buy a decent kettle
    Yoshi123's avatar
    Just get one with good warranty and you are sorted
  28. Athravan's avatar
    Does this work where you only have cold water supply? We only have cold water in our garden office. Could I install one of these in the sink there and it would be hot? (we have electricity).
    fannychmelar's avatar
    I think it would work yeah
  29. JasonWells's avatar
    Serious question, could you squeeze a bath out of this?
    Franko64's avatar
    No, it's only designed to supply the tankful of hot water, once you've drawn that much it automatically heats the next tankful
  30. L33TL33's avatar
    Wonder how good this is Others are £1,000 minimum usually. I’ve seen a £5,000 one at work with 6 different modes too
  31. cheapo's avatar
    I'd be worried about the tank size. I've got the kettle and the 7 litre tank is overkill, but I would hate to go less than four.
  32. ahotukdeal's avatar
    I've had insinkerator for nine years but needed a new tank a few years ago
  33. Bazzy's avatar
    Hi All,

    Is this particular one any good does anyone know? Looking to get an "affordable" one & can stretch to this sort of price - maybe a bit more but worries about reliability! Someone one this thread said they have a £500-£600 Qettle - is it worth over double the price?

    Is the 2.4L Tank big enough - others seem to be 4L or 7L?

    My builder recommends a Bristan one at about £420

    I know nothing about these things! Also, what size sink cabinet width would one ideally need if one was having both a Waste Disposal Unit & a Hot Water Tap please? Would it be 800mm, 900mm etc or more?

    Many Thanks! (edited)
