HOT, COLD & FILTERED TAPS


Why boiling water taps are on the rise B


oiling water taps have grown rapidly in popularity over the past ten years.


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


Comment by Stephen Johnson Managing Director, Quooker UK


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.


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. For example, 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. Furthermore, 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.


Flex innovative technology and design from Quooker A


s the original and only true 100 degree boiling water tap brand on


the market, Quooker leads the way when it comes to innovative technology and design.


Its Quooker Flex offers both form and function.


Equipped with a flexible pull-out hose for hot, cold and filtered water, the Flex makes it easy to reach and rinse the sink or any awkward kitchen objects. Thanks to its in-built safety stop, the Flex can never dispense boiling water when the hose is extended, protecting the user at all times. Thanks to the new CUBE accessory, the Flex


now dispenses chilled and sparkling water at the touch of a button. Saving you time and space, with CUBE the immediacy of super chilled and filtered water can be enjoyed without having to wait or waste water. What’s more, one canister of C02 yields 60litres of carbonated water which significantly reduces the need for single-use plastic bottles. Dispensing precisely the amount of water needed at any given moment, CUBE ensures responsible and more sustainable consumption. The Flex tap and under-sink tank are made


from Stainless Steel rather than plastic or copper, ensuring there are no material pores to harbour dirt. Making it virtually impossible for bacteria to gain a foothold, the Quooker Flex goes beyond elegant design and ease of use, becoming one of the most hygienic appliances in the kitchen. With a durable PVD coating, the new Matt Black finish introduces a modern alternative to the range, perfectly emphasising Flex’s contemporary silhouette.
