Why Consider Installing a Boiling Water Tap?

Are you thinking of upgrading your kitchen with a boiling water tap?

Quooker boiling water taps provide instant hot water on demand, offering a faster and more convenient alternative to traditional kettles. You can fill your mug or pot directly from the tap, making these taps more efficient and cost-effective. Quooker claims that its taps cost only 3p per day to keep on standby. In comparison, boiling a litre of water in a kettle costs just over 2p. If you find yourself boiling water multiple times a day—whether for your morning brew, after work, or before bed—you can save on your energy bills by switching to a boiling water tap.

Advantages of Boiling Water Taps

  • Childproof Design: Quooker taps feature childproof handles and insulated sides, preventing burns and keeping little hands safe.
  • Streamlined Worktops: With no need for a kettle, you free up valuable counter space, creating a cleaner and more organised kitchen.
  • Ease of Use: For those who struggle with lifting and pouring a conventional kettle, boiling water taps offer a straightforward and accessible alternative.
  • Filtered Water Options: Many models can filter out unpleasant chemicals, and some even soften and aerate the water, enhancing its taste.
  • Precision Dispensing: Unlike kettles, which often result in excess water being boiled, Quooker taps allow you to dispense just the right amount of water, reducing waste and saving energy.

Quooker's innovative patented vacuum tank keeps water at 110 degrees under pressure, ensuring it remains hot without continuous energy consumption. Think of it as an electrically powered flask that only heats the water when you use the tap, avoiding unnecessary energy use.

Sustainability Commitment

The COMBI reservoir by Quooker has earned an Energy Label A, providing not only boiling water but also hot water for washing up. Quooker is dedicated to sustainability, with initiatives that prioritise both people and the planet. In 2016, their facility was rebuilt and fitted with 900 solar panels, supplying all of their energy needs. Their Return and Recover departments recycle old products and manage waste sustainably, in compliance with the WEEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Act.

Additionally, Quooker taps are designed for longevity, typically lasting between 15 and 20 years, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Making Eco-Friendly Choices

As climate change becomes an increasingly pressing issue, making conscious choices is essential. While having instant filtered boiling, chilled, and sparkling water might seem luxurious, installing a Quooker tap is a sustainable investment. With a Quooker in your kitchen, you can save water and energy, significantly reducing the reliance on disposable plastic bottles.

Who Are Quooker?

Quooker is a family-run company founded on passion and innovation. The pride of Henri Peteri, the inventor of the boiling-water tap and father to current directors Walter and Niels Peteri, continues to resonate within the company.

As the first manufacturer of boiling-water taps globally, Quooker has pioneered several innovations in kitchen design, including the high-vacuum insulated tank and the all-in-one Quooker Fusion and Flex taps, continually revolutionising the kitchen experience.

History of Quooker

Quooker's journey began in 1970 when Henri Peteri, then working for Unilever, was inspired to create a solution for instant hot water after attending a presentation on instant soup. His vision led him to develop the world's first boiling-water tap in his basement, eventually selling prototypes to friends and family.

In 1992, Quooker launched its first product, the Quooker Basic. The company gained momentum in the early 2000s, becoming a household name in the Netherlands and expanding internationally.

Today, Quooker produces 300,000 systems annually, with thousands of dealers worldwide. The Peteri brothers maintain a strong commitment to sustainability and quality, aiming to supply kitchens with boiling water responsibly and innovatively.
