Why you should ask a few vital questions when choosing a boiling water tap

 

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.
