6 in 1 Tap: Boiling, Chilled, Sparkling & Filtered Water from One Kitchen Faucet
A modern kitchen needs more than a basic hot and cold faucet. Homeowners, kitchen brands, property developers, and hospitality projects increasingly want one streamlined system that can provide different types of drinking water without filling the worktop with kettles, filter jugs, bottled water, and countertop appliances.
The 6 in 1 tap brings these functions together in one professionally designed kitchen faucet system. Depending on the configuration, it can dispense boiling filtered water, chilled water, chilled sparkling filtered water, ambient filtered water, standard mains hot water, and standard mains cold water from a single tap.
For brands and distributors looking for a 6 in 1 boiling water tap for residential or commercial kitchens, this type of system offers a practical combination of convenience, filtration, temperature control, and space-saving design.
Xiamen Smart Water Technology Co., Ltd. develops and manufactures multifunctional drinking water systems for international OEM and ODM customers. Our products are designed for kitchen brands, water filtration companies, appliance manufacturers, plumbing companies, hospitality suppliers, property developers, wholesalers, and private-label buyers.
What Is a 6 in 1 Tap?
A 6 in 1 tap is a multifunctional kitchen faucet designed to provide six different water functions through one integrated fixture.
Instead of installing separate faucets or appliances for drinking water, boiling water, chilled water, and sparkling water, the system combines them into one coordinated solution.
The six functions are:
Boiling filtered water - suitable for tea, coffee, cooking, and other hot-water applications.
Chilled filtered water - cold drinking water supplied through an under-sink cooling system.
Chilled sparkling filtered water - carbonated drinking water supplied through an under-sink carbonator and CO₂ cylinder.
Ambient filtered water - room-temperature filtered drinking water.
Standard mains hot water - conventional hot water for washing and cleaning.
Standard mains cold water - conventional cold tap water for general kitchen use.
This makes a 6 in 1 boiling water tap particularly attractive for kitchens where space, convenience, and multiple drinking-water options are important.

Six Water Functions in One Kitchen Faucet
1. Filtered Boiling Water
The integrated boiler system provides hot filtered water on demand.
It is useful for:
- Tea and coffee
- Instant drinks
- Cooking
- Preparing hot food
- Filling pots
- Everyday kitchen tasks
Unlike a conventional kettle, the user does not need to fill, switch on, wait, and pour every time hot water is required.
2. Chilled Filtered Water
The under-sink chiller provides cold filtered drinking water directly through the faucet.
This is especially useful in warm climates and busy kitchens because users can access chilled water without storing multiple bottles or relying on a refrigerator dispenser.
3. Filtered Ambient Water
Not everyone wants their drinking water ice-cold.
The dedicated filtered ambient-water function provides room-temperature drinking water for:
- Filling reusable bottles
- Drinking throughout the day
- Cooking
- Families who prefer non-chilled water
It also means users do not have to wait for chilled water to warm naturally.
4. Chilled Sparkling Water
For customers who enjoy carbonated water, the 6 in 1 system can also provide chilled sparkling water.
The sparkling function requires an under-sink carbonator and CO₂ cylinder. CO₂ cylinders are not included with the standard system and should be sourced locally according to the requirements of the target market.
Cold water is particularly suitable for carbonation because lower temperatures help water retain dissolved CO₂ more effectively.
5. Standard Mains Hot Water
The faucet continues to work as a conventional kitchen mixer, providing standard mains hot water for washing dishes, cleaning the sink, and other everyday tasks.
6. Standard Mains Cold Water
Standard mains cold water remains available for general kitchen use, giving users the flexibility to choose between filtered drinking water and conventional tap water.
6 in 1 Tap Function Overview
| Water Function | Water Source | Typical Application | Additional Equipment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boiling filtered water | Filtered | Tea, coffee, cooking | Under-sink boiler |
| Chilled filtered water | Filtered | Cold drinking water | Under-sink chiller |
| Ambient filtered water | Filtered | Drinking, bottles, cooking | Water filter |
| Chilled sparkling filtered water | Filtered | Carbonated drinks | Chiller + carbonator + CO₂ cylinder |
| Standard hot water | Mains | Washing and cleaning | Existing hot-water supply |
| Standard cold water | Mains | General kitchen use | Existing cold-water supply |
Note: Actual system configuration, flow rate, temperature, dimensions, voltage, and performance depend on the selected model and market requirements.

Why Choose a 6 in 1 Kitchen Tap?
One Faucet Instead of Multiple Appliances
A conventional kitchen may use a mixer tap, kettle, water filter jug, refrigerator water dispenser, and sparkling-water appliance.
A 6 in 1 kitchen tap can consolidate many of these functions into one coordinated under-sink system.
That means less equipment on the countertop and a cleaner overall kitchen layout.
Boiling Water Without the Kettle
For tea drinkers and busy households, filtered boiling water is one of the most useful functions.
There is no need to repeatedly fill and boil a kettle when a suitable volume of hot filtered water is available directly from the faucet.
Chilled Water Without Taking Up Refrigerator Space
The chilled-water function moves cooling equipment under the counter instead of requiring bottled water or a large refrigerator dispenser.
This can be particularly valuable in compact kitchens where every centimetre of storage matters.
Sparkling Water on Demand
The additional sparkling-water function gives the 6 in 1 system another advantage over conventional 4 in 1 and 5 in 1 kitchen taps.
Users can choose still or sparkling drinking water depending on their preference.
One System for Different User Preferences
A family may have one person who prefers chilled water, another who prefers ambient water, and someone else who wants boiling water for tea.
The six-function configuration allows these different requirements to be handled from the same kitchen faucet.
Advanced Waterway Design
A multifunctional water tap needs careful internal waterway management because different water sources and temperatures pass through the same fixture.
The system is designed with separate water pathways for filtered and standard mains water. This helps keep the filtered drinking-water circuit separated from conventional tap-water channels.
For an OEM or private-label product, waterway design is particularly important because it affects:
- Water quality
- Product reliability
- User safety
- Installation requirements
- Certification requirements
- Long-term maintenance
Xiamen Smart Water Technology focuses on product quality and manufacturing consistency for international OEM and ODM projects.
Our quality management follows ISO 9001 and ISO 14001:14001 SGS guidelines, while product certifications and approvals vary by model and target market. Available compliance standards across our product range include UL, CB, CE, GS, ERP, UKCA, RoHS, REACH, PAHS, SCCP, BSMI, Safety Mark, RCM, WRAS, NSF, KTW, and WaterMark.
Buyers should confirm the exact certification package required for their market before placing an order.
Under-Sink System Configuration
A typical 6 in 1 boiling water tap system combines three major water-treatment and conditioning components:
- Boiler unit for filtered hot or boiling water
- Chiller unit for chilled filtered and sparkling water
- Water filtration system for the drinking-water channels
For sparkling-water models, an additional carbonator and compatible CO₂ cylinder are required.
Typical System Layout
| Component | Main Function | Installation Position |
|---|---|---|
| 6 in 1 kitchen faucet | Dispenses six water functions | Kitchen countertop |
| Boiler | Heats filtered water | Under sink |
| Chiller | Cools filtered water | Under sink |
| Water filter | Treats drinking water | Under sink |
| Carbonator | Adds CO₂ to chilled water | Under sink |
| CO₂ cylinder | Provides carbonation gas | Under sink or designated location |
The complete configuration should be checked against the cabinet dimensions, ventilation requirements, local plumbing connections, electrical supply, and applicable installation regulations.
How Much Under-Sink Space Does a 6 in 1 Tap Need?
A 6 in 1 system naturally requires more under-sink equipment than a conventional kitchen faucet because it includes heating, cooling, and filtration components.
The system is designed to fit within a typical 600 mm kitchen base cabinet, subject to the exact model and installation configuration.
Before installation, buyers should check:
- Cabinet width
- Cabinet height
- Cabinet depth
- Available electrical socket
- Water inlet and drainage connections
- Ventilation around the cooling unit
- Filter replacement access
- Space required for the CO₂ cylinder
For OEM projects, Xiamen Smart Water Technology can work with customers on product configuration and installation requirements according to the target kitchen design.
Is a 6 in 1 Tap Energy Efficient?
The boiler and chiller are designed with insulation and temperature control to reduce unnecessary heating and cooling.
Instead of repeatedly boiling a kettle or constantly opening a refrigerator to obtain chilled water, the dedicated under-sink units maintain their respective operating temperatures and activate heating or cooling as required.
Actual energy consumption depends on factors such as:
- Water usage
- Ambient temperature
- Selected water temperature
- Cooling load
- Heating frequency
- Insulation performance
- Local electricity supply
For B2B buyers, energy performance should therefore be evaluated using the specific model's tested electrical specifications rather than relying on generic claims.
Filter Replacement and Maintenance
One of the advantages of the system is relatively straightforward routine maintenance.
A high-capacity water filter serves the filtered-water functions, including:
- Boiling filtered water
- Chilled filtered water
- Ambient filtered water
- Sparkling filtered water
As a general maintenance recommendation, the filter should be replaced approximately every 6 months, although the actual replacement interval depends on water quality, daily consumption, filter capacity, and the manufacturer's instructions.
The boiler and chiller units are designed to minimize routine user maintenance.
Recommended Maintenance Schedule
| Maintenance Item | Recommended Interval | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Water filter replacement | About 6 months | Depends on water quality and usage |
| CO₂ cylinder | As required | Consumption varies with carbonation use |
| Faucet cleaning | Regularly | Follow product care instructions |
| Boiler/chiller inspection | According to manual | Follow model-specific requirements |
