Boiling and chilled filtered water tap dispense instant boiling and fresh filtered drinking water from the one tap. These advanced kitchen systems are an energy-efficient, cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to buying bottled water. Featuring a variety of stylish designs and finishes to suit any interior style, they are an investment for any home or workplace.
Depending on the model, they may also include an instant chilled water option that dispenses a constant stream of cold drinking water from an integrated underbench chiller, eliminating the need for bulky and space-consuming bottled water coolers or ice machines. They also typically feature a filter which is designed to improve the taste of the water, remove harmful impurities such as chlorine and heavy metals and reduce unpleasant or offensive odours such as rotten egg. Typically, they have a micron rating between 10 and 5 microns.
The latest tap technology from Zip Water and Billi combines all your water needs into a single streamlined appliance, with a choice of dispensing options – including boiling, filtered boiling, ambient and sparkling filtered water – all in one tap. This new generation of taps is a kitchen must-have, endorsed by design guru Kelly Hoppen CBE.
Unlike boiling and filtered water taps that feature a small boiler, these advanced systems have a large capacity tank, often of 5-7 litres, that can heat the water to its desired temperature in seconds, making it perfect for those who need instant boiling water for tea and coffee, cooking or sterilising baby bottles. They also come with a programmable sleep mode to turn on and off at a pre-determined time every day, minimising energy consumption.
