Boiling & Chilled Water Taps

Boiling and chilled water taps dispense near-boiling water at around 92–95°C, hot enough for teas, coffees and instant meals, and chilled water at around 2°C. Exact temperatures vary by model. It is recommended to check the product specifications for the tap you’re considering.

Yes, selected models have built-in water filtration. The Ezy-Tap and Pro Stream Hydro Tap purify water and remove chlorine odour and taste, and the Elite Instant Tap T3 range includes water treatment across its outputs. Check the individual product page for each tap’s filtration, as filtration varies across the range.

Yes – selected models include safety features on the hot dispense to help prevent accidental scalding, such as a safety lock on the Pro Stream Hydro Tap and an automatic thermal cut-out on the Ezy-Tap. Safety features vary by model, so check the product page for the tap you’re considering. Contact our team for more information on locking features and we would be happy to provide further details.

Boiling and chilled water taps are available to rent from around £20 per week, with delivery, installation and servicing included. There may be promotions to lower this rental price, though this is not a guarantee. Buying outright is also an option — please get in touch for a quote based on your chosen model and site.

The benefit of a combined boiling water and chilled water tap is that it fits neatly onto your worktop, with the boiler and chiller unit stored under the counter and out of sight. Installation is handled by Aquacool’s engineers as part of your order.

Day-to-day, combo boiled and chilled taps require only a simple wipe-down of the tap and drip tray. In hard-water areas, the boiler benefits from periodic descaling to manage limescale. For Aquacool rental customers, filter changes, descaling and servicing are handled as part of the plan, so the system stays reliable without any extra effort. Contact our team for more information on maintenance.

Selecting the right boiling and chilled combination tap depends on how much your team gets through, particularly at busy times. This can vary based on your team’s size, but also if you have keen hydrators on the team, colleagues exercising during the day, or back-to-back tea drinkers.

Hot output across the range runs from around 14 litres per hour on a compact model like the Ezy-Tap — well suited to smaller teams and break areas — or up to 55 litres per hour on the Pro Stream Hydro Tap, built for high-demand kitchens and busy sites where hot drinks are constant.

As a rule of thumb, the more people relying on the tap at peak times, the higher the litre-per-hour output worth choosing, so no one waits for a refill. Chilled capacity is worth weighing up the same way. If you’re unsure which model suits your team size, our team would be happy to recommend a tap based on your business.

A boiling and chilled tap covers the two essentials most workplaces require, but several taps in our range can offer even more from the same under-counter system. If your team would also make use of chilled sparkling water, or filtered ambient (room temperature) water, it’s worth considering a tap that adds these before you install — since adding a function later usually means a new unit.

The Elite Instant Tap T3 range and Pro Stream Hydro Tap add ambient and sparkling water alongside boiling and chilled. If sparkling is the priority, our boiling, chilled and sparkling water taps cover that combination specifically, while our 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 water taps set out the full range of multi-function options. For hot drinks only, our boiling water taps range may be the simpler choice.
