Your questions answered

I have noticed Quooker delivers water at 100ºC is this important?

Yes this is of fundamental importance. Quooker is the world’s only 100°C boiling water tap and as a consequence it is the only tap on the market that truly allows you to be rid of the energy greedy kettle. (Remember if the water temperature is not at 100°C at point of delivery you will not be able to replace your kettle.)

Is the water from a Quooker always fresh?

The stainless steel tank with revolutionary vacuum insulation and thermos technology holds water under pressure (so it does not boil) at 110°C. Therefore ensuring every delivery is sterile, removing the risk of harmful bacteria such as legionella.

How can a Quooker save me money?

When we use a kettle, we waste money, energy, water and the most precious commodity of all, time! On average a kettle uses the same amount of energy to boil a litre of water as it takes to run a fridge for over seven hours. In the UK we boil our kettle on average four times a day! In contrast, Quooker with its revolutionary vacuum insulation and thermos technology is highly efficient to run and instant meaning you use only what you need when you need it.

Does it not cost a lot of energy to keep the water at 110ºC day and night?

The unique vacuum and thermos technology ensures that only 10 W of energy consumption are required to maintain the water at temperature.

Should I turn the Quooker off at all?

As the running costs are approximately 3 pence per day we recommend that you leave the system powered on at all times unless you intend leaving the property vacant for a month or more.
