The boiler is made from titanium which, unlike the usual stainless steel and copper, is pretty immune to limescale build-up and corrosion. This ensures long-lasting performance. Titanium is also bio-compatible, so there will be no nasty metallic taste in your boiled water. Touch controls mean you can do clever stuff like tap the InSinkErator for 30 seconds of filtered water at ambient temperature, perfect for filling a water bottle. There’s also an optional add-on for filtered, chilled water at 3-10°C. The boiler unit sits in the cupboard rather than under as per the Franke, but given the history of the Franke, that's no bad thing, once the above was sorted linking up the remaining pipes is easy.

A comfortable to reach medium-high spout makes filling tall pots and containers easier and is especially suited to smaller kitchens and sink areas which struggle to accommodate large pans. I simple adore the brass finish. It’s the perfect addition to my kitchen with dark cupboards and brass handles.The GROHE Red technology then allows you to draw up to four litres of filtered kettle-hot water directly from the tap in an instant, so there is no waiting around. Safe & Easy - Our safety clip makes accessing boiling water impossible. When the clip is removed, an exact action is still required to obtain boiling water. The button must be pushed down and the handle turned at the same time. There are also some which produce fizzy carbonated water too, but these are rarer. You pay a price for these features, but if you think you’d get the use out of them then it could be a good investment. Safety

The second you take your finger off the button, the water stops. However there is a pot-filling function that delivers up to 3 litres of near-boiling water in 60 seconds without keeping your finger on the button. Testers have remarked that it runs slower than expected and it’s true that that’s half the speed of your regular hot tap. Convenience is the main reason people buy boiling water taps. Treat energy-efficiency as a nice bonus.So now you’ve heard all about the Qettle Signature 4 in 1 boiling water tap, how about having a go a winning one for your own home? Simple and safe to use, easy to install and cost-efficient, it’s time to say hello to a QETTLE and goodbye to your kettle! And best of all, thanks to its unique, multi-patented design, a QETTLE is affordable, too. One of the most essential boiling water tap facts to consider is safety. Don’t settle for anything less than two-stage safety The Qettle taps are a 4 in 1 tap so it gives you your normal hot and cold on the left hand side, and the boiling hot water as well as cold filtered water on the right hand side. How cool is that?! The Qettle 4 in 1 tap is completely mechanical instead of electronic too which means if anything breaks down or needs repairing in the future, it's a lot easier and cheaper to fix/replace mechanical parts as opposed to electronic parts. I love drinking filtered water, it tastes so much better and the water in York has such hard water that I always prefer to filter it. I'm also saving loads of space by having a filtered tap as I no longer need a huge filter jug in my fridge! So that's another huge kitchen product I've managed to get rid of along with my kettle. If you have a small kitchen, these taps work out great for space-saving. Longer tap tails, and an alternate over pressure drain that connects to a machine outlet - they are threaded - would be good.
