Digital Taps Explained: Are 5-in-1 Smart Hot Taps Worth the Upgrade?

When you think about next-generation kitchen design, you probably picture sleek surfaces, hidden appliances and smart technology that makes everyday life easier. One innovation that’s quickly becoming the heart of the modern kitchen is the digital instant hot water tap, and Fahren’s brand-new WRAS Approved 5-in-1 Digital Tap is leading the way.

Offering instant boiling, standard hot and cold, chilled filtered, and chilled sparkling water from a single tap, it’s the most versatile system Fahren has ever created. If you’re wondering whether upgrading to a 5-in-1 digital tap is worth it, here’s everything you need to know.

A Smarter, Simpler Way to Run Your Kitchen

Fahren’s Digital Tap has been engineered for people who want the convenience of multiple appliances without the clutter. Instead of a kettle, a water filter jug, a soda maker and a traditional tap battling for worktop space, you get everything in one beautifully designed fixture.

Built from premium stainless steel, the tap is robust, durable and resistant to corrosion - ideal for busy kitchens where quality matters. But the real star is the technology behind it. A clean, touch-control interface lets you switch between water modes with ease, while the electronic system manages temperature precisely and heats water rapidly without wasting energy.

This isn’t just a tap. It’s a daily time-saver.

Five Functions. One Stunning Design.

  1. Instant Boiling Water Perfect for hot drinks, instant cooking, sauces, pasta, steaming or sterilising. No waiting, no kettle.

  2. Standard Hot & Cold Your everyday water, delivered with the reliability you expect from Fahren.

  3. Chilled Filtered Water Filtered, crisp and refreshing - ideal for drinking, filling water bottles, or cooking.

  4. Chilled Sparkling Water (Optional) Bring a little luxury into your day with sparkling water on demand.

  5. Digital Touch Control Smooth, modern and intuitive. No levers, no juggling settings. Everything sits neatly in one system, designed to blend luxury with practical living.

Safety Without Compromise

A tap that delivers boiling water directly has to be safe - and Fahren has built this into every layer of the design.

The Digital Tap includes:

  • Anti-scald protection
  • Automatic shut-off
  • Dry-burn prevention
  • Anti-leak safeguards
  • Overheat protection

It’s built for family kitchens as much as design-led ones. You get performance and peace of mind, without having to think about it. 

Effortlessly Refreshing: For Every Part of Your Day

Whether you’re prepping dinner, rinsing veg, filling a pan, topping up your reusable bottle or adding a sparkling twist to your lunch, the Digital Tap keeps your kitchen flowing smoothly. Every function is instant, every temperature is controlled, and everything feels effortless.

It’s one of those upgrades you don’t realise you needed, until you have it.

Instant Heat. Smarter Living

Alongside the main 5-in-1 system, Fahren has introduced an Intelligent Electric Faucet, designed to bring instant comfort to smaller kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms or balconies.

Highlights include:

  • Quick-connect installation - genuinely plug-and-play
  • Hot water in as little as three seconds
  • Stable, consistent temperature control
  • Up to 30% less energy use than traditional heaters
  • Multi-layer safety system

No cold shocks. No waiting. Just warm water exactly when you need it.

Is a Digital Hot Tap Worth It?

If you value speed, convenience, energy efficiency, premium design and a cleaner kitchen without extra appliances, the answer is yes, especially if you’re already planning a renovation or replacing an old tap.

A Fahren Digital Tap gives you:

  • One sleek system instead of four separate devices
  • Space back on your worktops
  • Cleaner, filtered water
  • Sparkling water without the plastic waste
  • A kitchen that feels modern from the moment you turn on the tap.

It’s an upgrade that fits how people live now: faster, simpler and with a focus on quality.

The kitchen is the most used room in the home, so it makes sense to make it work harder for you. Fahren’s Digital 5-in-1 Instant Hot Water Tap combines style, practicality and smart technology in a way that genuinely transforms everyday living.

If you’re planning a new kitchen or looking for a standout upgrade, this tap is one of the smartest changes you can make.
