KITCHEN SINKS, TAPS & WDU’S
Something that was originally viewed as an unnecessary luxury item has now become a household essential for millions across the globe. The primary reason for this is convenience. We
live in a world where people want things delivered at speed. As a generation, we are inherently less patient than we used to be, increasingly unwilling to wait or compromise. On average, we spend four months of our lives waiting for the kettle to boil. Not so with a boiling water tap, which delivers the exact amount of boiling water needed instantly. Concerns around safety used to be a significant

factor in dissuading people to invest in a boiling water tap. However, with constant innovation, boiling water taps on the market today are completely safe to use. With user-friendly, in-built safety mechanisms that make it virtually impossible to turn on boiling water by accident, they are ideal for families with small children or those with restricted mobility.
The rise of boiling water taps B
oiling water taps have grown rapidly in popularity over the past ten years.
There has also been a significant consumer shift
towards more sustainable and eco-conscious consumption. The UK household uses an average of 360 single use plastic bottles per year. To combat this, in addition to the hot, cold and boiling water functions, some brands are turning their attention to new water modes. Look at the development of offering filtered, chilled and sparkling water from the same tap, at the touch of a button. Taps that can deliver sparkling and chilled water dramatically reduce this figure, providing a more long-term sustainable alternative. With a boiling water tap, you also save water
and electricity. When you dispense water from a boiling water tap, you use the exact amount of water you need, unlike a kettle whereby more water is boiled than needed, or how often is a kettle re-boiled because the water has cooled down, wasting yet more energy. Boiling water taps have tanks which store water at high temperatures under pressure. This technology keeps the water hot without needing to use much energy at all. Think of it as an electrically powered flask, from which no energy can escape.
Quooker introduces the new and improved CUBE F
ollowing the successful launch of the CUBE in 2019, Quooker is proud to
introduce its latest product development, the new and improved CUBE. Now lighter and more compact, the CUBE ensures Quooker taps dispense sparkling and super chilled water at the touch of a button. Thanks to the latest improvement, users can now choose between two effervescence levels, meaning better flavour and versatility.
Whilst it may feel like a luxury to have sparkling
and chilled water on tap, the CUBE is a more sustainable solution. The average UK household uses a staggering 360 plastic bottles per year, resulting in huge volumes of waste nationwide. However, one canister of CO2 yields 60 litres of carbonated water which significantly reduces the need for single-use plastic bottles. Determined to find a better solution for consuming carbonated water, dispensing precisely the amount needed at any given moment, and with canisters that can be returned and re-filled after use, CUBE ensures responsible and more sustainable consumption. CUBE can be attached to any Quooker tap in the range. All Quooker taps continue to use very little
electricity and give staggering energy saving results; thanks to its sophisticated state-of-the-art tank technology, it takes very little energy - just 10 watts - to keep the water in the tank at 110°C, compared to the 2200W needed to boil 117L of water in a kettle. With Quooker, water only starts to boil when the tap is turned on and the temperature of the outflowing water drops to 100°C. While the water is coming out of the tap, fresh water immediately flows into the tank to replace the exact amount extracted ready for the next use.
