Instant Boiling Water Kitchen Taps

Instant Boiling Water Taps

Our instant boiling water taps let you dispense 98°C water in seconds, replacing the kettle and freeing up worktop space in one go. We stock 3-in-1 boiling water taps, 4-in-1 boiling and filtered water taps, and pull-out spray variants from leading brands including Pronteau, INTU, Triflow Concepts, and Grohe. Every model ships with its under-counter boiler tank, so you have everything you need to get started.

3 in 1 or 4 in 1: which is right for you?

A 3-in-1 boiling water tap handles hot water, cold water, and instant boiling water through a single spout. Step up to a 4-in-1 model, and you also get a separate filtered cold water function, so every drink comes out tasting clean and crisp without a jug filter on the side. If you use a lot of filtered water for cooking as well as drinking, the 4 in 1 is worth the extra outlay. Our entry point is the Triflow Concepts 3 in 1, starting from £332, while the Triflow Hybrid Pro 4 in 1 adds LED touch control and filtered cold water from £675.

Finishes to suit every kitchen style

Every finish in this collection is functional as well as decorative, and all are available across multiple spout styles. Polished Chrome is the perennial choice for contemporary and transitional kitchens: clean, reflective, and the easiest to keep streak-free. Brushed Nickel hides fingerprints beautifully and suits both modern and classic schemes. Matt Black makes a strong statement in industrial or Scandi kitchens, whilst Brushed Brass brings warmth to both period and modern spaces. You will also find Antique Brass, Urban Copper, Gun Metal, and Matt Graphite across the Pronteau and Triflow ranges if you want something less common on the high street.

Spout styles: swan neck, square neck, C-spout and U-spout

Boiling water taps are available in several spout profiles, and the right choice often comes down to sink depth and kitchen aesthetic. A swan neck (C-spout) offers generous clearance for filling tall pots and suits both traditional and modern kitchens. The square neck profile, seen on the INTU Expression, reads crisper and more architectural. U-spout models like the Pronteau Industria carry an industrial character and pair well with deep single-bowl sinks. Most models offer 180 or 360 degree spout rotation, so you can swing the tap clear of the sink when you need to.

Safety features as standard

Every boiling water tap in this collection includes a spring-loaded safety mechanism or child lock on the boiling function, requiring a deliberate push and twist or press before hot water flows. This is not an optional extra: it is built in to every model we sell. The INTU Asprey and Expression taps feature a clearly marked child-safe lever, whilst the Pronteau and Triflow ranges use a spring-return push action. All tanks are insulated to minimise heat loss and keep running costs low.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 3-in-1 boiling water tap?

A 3-in-1 boiling water tap combines standard hot water, cold water, and instant boiling water (typically at around 98°C) through a single unit mounted at the sink. It replaces both your existing kitchen tap and your kettle, removing the need to wait for water to boil. The boiling function is operated separately from the hot and cold levers and always includes a safety lock to prevent accidental activation.

What is the difference between a 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 boiling water tap?

A 3-in-1 tap gives you hot, cold, and boiling water. A 4-in-1 tap adds a fourth function: filtered cold water. This comes from an under-counter carbon filter that removes chlorine, limescale, and impurities, so you get clean, great-tasting drinking water on demand without a separate filter jug. If you drink a lot of water straight from the tap or cook with filtered water regularly, the 4-in-1 is worth considering.

Are boiling water taps safe to use around children?

Yes. Every boiling water tap we sell includes a dedicated safety mechanism on the boiling function. Depending on the model, this is a spring-loaded push-and-turn action or a child safety lever that requires deliberate, two-step operation before boiling water is released. The mechanism resets automatically each time, so the hot function cannot be left unlocked. Always read the manufacturer's guidance for your specific model before installation and use.

How much does it cost to run a boiling water tap?

Running costs vary by model and usage, but most modern boiling water taps are designed to be energy efficient. The insulated under-counter tank keeps water at temperature with minimal energy draw, typically comparable to leaving a phone charger plugged in. Exact costs depend on your electricity tariff and how often you draw boiling water. Many users find the convenience of replacing the kettle offsets any small increase in energy use.

Do I need a plumber to install a boiling water tap?

Yes, we recommend professional installation by a qualified plumber. The tap requires a mains cold water connection and an electrical supply for the under-counter boiler tank, so both plumbing and electrical work are involved. Most installations are straightforward and can be completed in a few hours by an experienced tradesperson. Check your model's installation guide for specific requirements, including minimum water pressure and cupboard clearance for the tank.

What finishes are available for boiling water taps?

Our boiling water taps are available in Polished Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Matt Black, Brushed Brass, Antique Brass, Urban Copper, Gun Metal, Brushed Steel, and Matt Graphite, depending on the brand and model. Chrome and Brushed Nickel are the most widely available across all ranges. Brushed Brass and Antique Brass are popular in period-style and farmhouse kitchens, whilst Matt Black and Gun Metal suit more contemporary or industrial schemes.

Can a boiling water tap also provide filtered cold water?

Yes, if you choose a 4 in 1 model. Taps such as the Pronteau ProStream, Pronteau Industria, and Pronteau ProStyle deliver both instant boiling water and filtered cold water through the same unit. The filtration is handled by a separate under-counter carbon filter cartridge that connects to your mains cold supply. Cartridges require periodic replacement, typically once a year, depending on water hardness and usage.
