Updated: [2025-05-14] | Xiamen Smart Water Tech. Allen Huang
Boiling and chilled water taps are revolutionizing modern kitchens, offering instant access to filtered boiling and chilled water from a single fixture. Whether you're a homeowner looking to upgrade your kitchen or a business seeking efficient hydration solutions, this guide provides everything you need to know before purchasing.
What Is a Boiling and Chilled Water Tap?
A boiling and chilled water tap is a multifunctional kitchen faucet that dispenses near-boiling hot water and refrigerated cold water on demand. Unlike standard taps, it connects to an under-sink system with both a boiler and a water chiller. Many models also include built-in filtration systems for clean, great-tasting water.
Key Features That Make a Difference
Dual Functionality: One tap delivers both boiling (up to 45–98°C) and chilled water (as low as 3–8°C).
Energy-Efficient Design: Most models include insulated tanks and on-demand heating technology to reduce electricity use.
Built-In Filtration: Removes impurities such as chlorine, heavy metals, and bacteria, enhancing both taste and safety.
Space-Saving Convenience: Replaces kettles and water coolers, ideal for compact kitchens or commercial counters.
Child-Safety Lock & Auto Shut-off: Prevents accidental scalds and enhances user safety in homes and public spaces.
Types of Boiling and Chilled Taps Available
3-in-1 Taps: Provide boiling, chilled, and standard hot/cold water from the same spout.
4-in-1 Taps: Include filtered ambient water alongside boiling and chilled water options.
5-in-1 Taps: instant boiling, chilled, sparkling, filtered cold, and regular hot/cold water from a single tap.
Applications: From Home Kitchens to Large-Scale Facilities
For Residential Use:
Perfect for families who value time-saving kitchen solutions. Instantly prepare tea, coffee, noodles, baby bottles, or a refreshing glass of cold water-without waiting for a kettle or storing plastic bottles.
For Offices:
Eliminate the need for kettles and bottled water. Employees can enjoy instant tea, soups, or cold drinks while businesses cut down on energy costs and improve hygiene.
For Hospitality & Catering:
Speed up service in hotels, restaurants, and cafes. Taps supply instant boiling water for drinks and meals, and cold water for refreshing beverages-all in a sleek, modern fixture.
For Schools & Healthcare Facilities:
Deliver safe, filtered drinking water and hot water for sterilization or food prep. Easy access reduces wait times and supports better hydration habits.
Material Choices: Durability Meets Design
- 304 Stainless Steel: Corrosion-resistant, hygienic, and sleek. Best for high-traffic kitchens.
- Lead-Free Brass: Heavy-duty construction with antimicrobial properties. Chrome-plated finishes for shine.
- Ceramic Cartridges: Leak-proof valves rated for 500,000 cycles. Handles extreme temperatures.
Important Buying Considerations
- Water Pressure Compatibility: Ensure your home or facility's plumbing supports the tap's pressure requirements.
- Installation Space & Setup: Consider the size of the under-sink boiler and chiller units. Some models require electrical and plumbing adjustments.
- Filtration System: Look for taps with multi-stage filters if you need high-quality drinking water.
- Safety Features: Choose taps with cool-touch spouts and child-lock technology, especially for family or public environments.
- Energy Rating: Go for systems with standby mode or insulated tanks to reduce electricity consumption.
