There are a few practical questions, aside from
aesthetics, you should ask when deciding whether to ditch the kettle and
install a boiling water tap instead.
Firstly, does it actual provide 100°C boiling water? We invented the boiling water tap to do just
that, but not all imitators can match the 100°C that is so important for
brewing perfect tea! Don’t settle for
second best.
In the spirit of safety first, it is unsurprising that
the question people often ask us is how safe can 100ºC boiling water tap really
be? Many of whom are often surprised to find out that having a Quooker tap is
much safer than using a traditional kettle.
You should ensure that you install the safest. Ask about safety features. In 25 years, Quooker has never received a
single complaint about scalding from a Quooker boiling water tap – despite
there being 250,000 Quookers in use.
Such an outstanding record can be attributed to Quooker’s
dedication to safety. The Quooker tap is
always installed at the back of a worktop, over a sink. Unable to be pulled
forward or knocked over, the Quooker tap helps keep even small children safer
in the kitchen.
Despite the aerated flow of the Quooker tap meaning that
it is possible to pass your hand underneath the tap without scalding yourself,
you still want to be as safe as possible! We’ve designed a push and twist turning mechanism
that means you cannot simply ‘knock’ a Quooker tap on – further protecting you and
your family.
Another key point of interest when choosing your boiling
water tap should be; how manoeuvrable is the tap itself? The Quooker tap has the built in capability to
rotate as well as extend up and down, whilst some boiling water taps are fixed
and others are able to pivot only.
With a Quooker tap, you no longer have to be frustrated
after finding out that your pans or cafetiere do not fit under the tap, or have
to place your pans in the sink in order to fill them. No longer do you have to
manoeuvre pans of boiling water around rigid taps and out of the sink. Instead
you can fill your pans, cafetiere or teacups on the work top.
Aside from
practicality of use, the height adjustment feature is also an added bonus from
a safety point of view, allowing the Quooker tap to be used in the most
practical way possible.
Many people are interested to know; can a boiling water
tap save me money?
The answer is yes! With a Quooker tap energy is no longer wasted
boiling more water than you need in a kettle.
You also avoid paying to heat the hot water that just sits in your pipe
and loses down between uses – over a year that adds up to the equivalent of a
swimming pool full. Day to day you’ll
save energy and that means lower energy bills.
With a Quooker tap you can use the precise amount of
water you require for that much needed morning brew, and do your bit for the
environment to boot!
A Quooker also saves those precious minutes we all spend
waiting for the kettle to boil. We estimate you can save up to 90 hours a year
– over three and a half days!
The answer to the most vital question is simple; should
you ditch the kettle and install a Quooker?
Oh yes.
That’s why you should ask a few vital questions when
choosing a boiling water tap.
