The solid stainless steel Mythos Water Hub tap, sitting at the top of the range for high end consumers, has already earned three Kitchen Innovation Awards. These accolades include Best Innovation of 2024 across all categories and Best of the Best in the kitchen taps category, along with a Red Dot Award for its innovative technology and product design.”
Mythos Water Hub offers the choice of 5-in-1 and 6-in-1 functionality that is entirely customisable to individual preferences.
Designed to be intuitive and easy to use, consumers simply turn the electronic dial to select chilled, filtered, sparkling and instant boiling water, each denoted by a colour, while standard mains hot and cold is dispensed by the side lever. The system’s compact box features an easy-to- use LED interface and houses the 4L hot water boiler, Co2 cartridge and premium ProM filter cartridge that prevents limescale, removes
contaminants and stabilises the minerals providing fresh tasting water.
Consumers can customise their water experience through the Franke @Home app, adjusting settings like water quantity, sparkling level and boiling water temperature. RFID technology provides timely notifications when its time change the filters, which is super easy to do in a matter of seconds.
Maris Water Hub: versatile and water-saving The Maris Water Hub tap is aimed at the discerning mid-market consumer and brings together the most popular features.

The electronic 3-in-1 tap can also be upgraded to 4-in-1 functionality with the optional filtration kit for cold filtered water, in addition to hot, cold and 100°C boiling water.
Designed with sustainability in mind, the Maris Water Hub boasts an ECO-cartridge with a stepped lever for 50% water saving capability, while the temperature limiter provides more control over water temperature. Meanwhile, the tap’s premium PRO-M filter cartridge purifies the water and reduces limescale build up in the boiler.
