Thinking about Buying a Hot Water Tap?

Read our helpful Frequently Asked Questions

Will a boiling water tap save me money?

In the long term, it can be a much more cost-effective option to install a Fahren 4-in-1 tap than boiling a traditional kettle every time you need access to boiling water.

According to Npower, it costs around 2.5p each time you boil 1.5 litres of water in a kettle and, considering most households boil a kettle several times a day; this can soon add up. By comparison, it costs around 3p to keep a boiling water tap on standby each day.

Are Instant Boiling Water Taps safe for my family to use?

Our Instant boiling water taps come with various safety features, such as child-friendly safety sprung handles, so that you can’t accidentally leave the tap running. To release the boiling water, you must also hold and twist a safety button, so the tap cannot be knocked and turned on unintentionally.

The water pressure of a boiling water tap is also slightly lower than a traditional tap to avoid splash-back. Additionally, the sides of the tap are insulated to prevent further scalding.
