FAQs
How safe is a boiling water tap?
Boiling water taps are significantly safer than kettles. Unlike kettles, which get hot and can be knocked over, our tanks and spouts are insulated, and the taps are securely fixed. Plus, all models feature a safety mechanism to prevent boiling water being dispensed accidentally.
What’s the difference between a 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 tap?
Both 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 taps provide near-boiling water, but the 4-in-1 taps also deliver cold, filtered drinking water. 3-in-1 models include a filter for the boiler tank only, while 4-in-1 models have a dual-filter system. For more info, check out our in depth guide.
If filtered drinking water is important to you and your family, go for a 4-in-1 tap. Quanta, Quanta Chilled, and Platina are all 4-in-1 options—each offering something unique, from a flex hose to chilled water.
What is a flex tap?
A flex tap features a pull-out hose that lets you move the water stream freely around your sink. It’s great for washing dishes, rinsing produce, or filling large pots with filtered or boiling water.
Which boiling tap is best for me?
It depends on your needs. Revista is a great choice if you're looking for something budget-friendly and reliable. Want top-tier convenience? Platina has it all. And thanks to Klarna, you can split the cost over three interest-free payments—making it even easier to bring one home.
How energy efficient are boiling water taps?
Boiling water taps are more energy-efficient than you might think. They use roughly the same energy in a whole day as a kettle would in just a couple of uses. By only heating what you need, you reduce waste—and cut costs over time.
