FAQs
1. How do I choose the best boiling, chilled and sparkling water tap for my kitchen?
Choosing the best boiling, chilled and sparkling water tap starts with understanding your kitchen habits. If you're constantly boiling water for tea, need chilled water for hydration, or love fizzy drinks, this tap can streamline all of those tasks. Some models offer adjustable temperature settings, while others allow you to customise carbonation levels. Safety is another key consideration—child locks and insulated spouts help prevent burns from hot water. Think about space, too: these systems typically include under-sink components like a chiller unit, CO₂ canister, and filter.
2. What’s the difference between a sparkling water tap and a standard filter tap?
A sparkling water tap not only filters your tap water but also carbonates it using a built-in or replaceable CO₂ canister. This gives you chilled, fizzy water on demand—ideal for reducing your use of bottled soda water or soft drinks. A standard filter tap, by contrast, provides still water that’s filtered for impurities like chlorine, sediment, and odours. Some filter taps offer chilled or boiling functions, while others are purely for clean drinking water. If you’re after both purified and carbonated water from the same tap, a sparkling model offers the best of both worlds.
3. Do these taps purify water as well?
Yes, built-in filtration is one of the main benefits of these systems. Most filter taps use multi-stage filters to reduce chlorine, sediment, microplastics, and unpleasant tastes or smells, giving you cleaner, better-tasting water straight from the tap. Some premium models also reduce heavy metals and bacteria. If your household has higher filtration needs or you live in an area with lower water quality, pairing your tap with a dedicated Water Purifier can give you an extra layer of protection. Filters typically need replacing every 6–12 months, depending on usage and water quality.
4. Can I retrofit a chilled and sparkling water tap into my current kitchen?
Yes, most modern chilled and sparkling water taps are designed to be retrofitted into existing kitchens. They usually require a single bench hole and enough space beneath the sink to accommodate components like a filter, chiller, and CO₂ cylinder. If space is limited, some compact models are available. You'll also want to consider access to power for the chiller and a safe location for CO₂ storage. Many people choose to install these taps alongside their existing Taps, keeping their main kitchen mixer for washing and cooking while reserving the sparkling system for drinking water. For added support, we recommend browsing our Sink & Tap Accessories to help with installation.
5. Are these taps compatible with other tapware or sink products?
Absolutely. Most boiling, chilled and sparkling filter taps are designed to integrate seamlessly with standard kitchen setups. They’re often installed as a secondary tap next to your main mixer and are available in various finishes to complement your existing Taps. If you're doing a full kitchen upgrade, you can also pair them with matching Sinks & Taps to maintain a consistent aesthetic. Compatibility isn’t usually an issue as long as your sink has a spare mounting hole or space to add one. If you're unsure, a licensed plumber can help you assess your current setup and make installation easier.
