Shop Smarter: The Best Pull-Out Boiling Water Taps Compared

If you’ve been considering upgrading your kitchen with a pull-out boiling water tap, you’re not alone. These innovative taps combine instant 100°C water with the flexibility of a pull-out spout, making everyday tasks easier and more efficient. But with so many models on the market, it can be tricky to know which one offers the best balance of style, function, and value.
That’s where we step in. We’ve compared some of the leading pull-out boiling water taps available today—including our own Astrum 3-in-1 Pull-Out Tap and the sleek Platina 4-in-1 Pull-Out Tap—to give you the clearest picture before you buy. We’ll also see how these stack up against competitor favourites like Quooker Flex and Zip HydroTap.
Why Choose a Pull-Out Boiling Water Tap?
Traditional boiling water taps are convenient, but a pull-out design takes things to the next level. Whether you’re rinsing vegetables, filling large pots, or reaching tricky corners of your sink, the pull-out hose makes the tap far more versatile. Add in boiling water on demand, and you’ve got a kitchen essential that saves time, reduces clutter, and even cuts down on energy waste compared to constantly boiling a kettle.
Hot Water Taps Ireland: Flexible and Functional
Astrum 3-in-1 Pull-Out Tap
A perfect entry point into the world of pull-out boiling taps, the Astrum 3-in-1 delivers boiling, hot, and cold water through a single sleek unit. The pull-out spout adds extra reach without compromising on design, making it ideal for family kitchens. For Irish households that want instant boiling water but don’t need filtered chilled or sparkling options, the Astrum strikes the right balance of affordability and function.
Platina 4-in-1 Pull-Out Tap
For those who want it all, the Platina 4-in-1 takes things further. Alongside boiling, hot, and cold, it also dispenses filtered cold water—perfect for quick hydration or improving the taste of your tea and coffee. Its premium design, combined with the practicality of a pull-out hose, makes it a standout choice for modern Irish homes.
How Do Competitors Compare?
Quooker Flex
Quooker is one of the most recognised names in boiling water taps, and their Flex model includes a pull-out spout. It’s stylish and robust, but it comes at a premium price point—often more expensive than similar models on HotWaterTaps.ie. While it’s a reliable option, the added cost doesn’t always translate to better everyday functionality.
Zip HydroTap All-In-One
Zip’s HydroTap range is known for versatility, offering boiling, chilled, and sparkling water. However, their models with pull-out flexibility are bulkier, and installation can be more complex. They’re also a considerable investment, better suited to office environments or very high-end kitchens.
Wodar 4-in-1 Pull-Out Tap
Wodar offers a direct competitor to our Platina 4-in-1, with boiling, hot, cold, and filtered water functions. It’s stylish and effective, but again, pricing and replacement filter costs can add up quickly compared to HotWaterTaps.ie’s options.
