Instant Boiling Water and Chilled Water Taps
0The range of stunning Billi taps offer filtered boiling water and chilled water in a variety of finishes. Their SplashFree technology reduces splashing by electronically varying the water flow.
Boiling, as actually practiced in the study community, improved the microbiological quality of household drinking water, though boiled and stored water was not consistently free of fecal contamination.
Boiling Water
Boiling water is one of the most effective ways to purify drinking water. It kills all harmful microbes and is recommended by health inspectors whenever public water quality has been compromised e.g. during water main breaks. But boiling a kettle for every drink takes time and can be energy intensive.
A Quooker system delivers a constant supply of filtered boiling water through an insulated tank reservoir. Unlike kettles, it never runs dry and can be switched off when not in use. Adjustable temperature controls, regulated flow and clever patented technology that recovers waste heat energy from chilling water to preheat boiling water keep costs low.
The knurled tap dial activates the boiling water function. Once active an aerated stream of 100deg boiling water flows from the spout. The spout also slows momentarily to eliminate splashing as the water enters your cup.
To activate chilled or sparkling water functions simply select the desired drink option from the touch screen display and press the corresponding button. The CUBE is connected to the Quooker tank and is supplied with a 0.5 micron water filter for premium filtered water quality. This system is designed to fit in your existing kitchen, replacing your current sink tap and reducing the need for multiple appliances. Its sleek design minimises clutter and helps create a more functional kitchen.
Chilled Water
In industrial systems chilling water is used as a heat-transfer medium to carry heat away from other parts of a system. The resulting cooler water may be used as part of a chemical process, drinking water, or in HVAC systems for local temperature adjustment, for example.
Chilling tap water is also a fantastic choice for hot and humid climates. Having chilled water on hand can help keep you hydrated and boost your energy levels. Many elite sports teams and special forces personnel are big fans of chilled water to help them cool down faster after intense activity.
Having access to clean, safe water at all times is a crucial factor in keeping our wellbeing in good shape. If you live in a region where water advisory alerts are in place, then it’s essential that your boiling water is above the microbe-kill temperature of 100 degrees Celsius.
The best solution is an all in one tap that combines boiling, sparkling and chilled filtered water. Australia’s world-famous Billi taps offer the perfect blend of style and function, with a stunning array of finishes, including chrome, brushed nickel and cool matt black. They’re eco-friendly, too, with clever patented technology that recovers waste heat energy from the cooling cycle to preheat the boiling water. For larger workspaces, there’s a range of models capable of dispensing 15-50 litres of water per hour.
Sparkling Water
Having sparkling water on tap is a great way to liven up fruit juice or simply add some fizz to your favourite drink. It can also reduce the amount of plastic bottles you use in your workplace, as well as helping to promote a healthy work environment.
All-in-one water dispenser units like the Zip HydroTap Five in One Boiling, Chilled & Sparkling filtered tap can offer boiling, chilled and sparkling water from a single appliance and dispense up to 250 cups per hour. Unlike conventional taps, these systems do not need to be connected to your hot and cold washing up water supply so there is no risk of cross contamination.
For an even more advanced option, try a Quooker tap with the optional CUBE. The CUBE offers chilled and sparkling filtered water for your office, which can save you time and space, eliminate the need for plastic bottles and is completely safe. To dispense sparkling water just press and turn once and the illuminated ring that turns red for boiling water will flash blue, or if you hold the button down for slightly longer you can get filtered water instead.
The CUBE has two filters which need to be replaced once a year, and the system can dispense up to 60 litres of sparkling water. It uses the same energy as cooling your water in a fridge and has the added benefit of saving you money on electricity bills.
Filtered Water
Boiling water is one of the most effective ways to purify tap water, and it’s the first step that health inspectors recommend in case your water quality has been compromised – like when a boil water advisory or notice is issued. The high heat of boiling water kills harmful microorganisms that can cause illness if consumed, so it’s a great method to use in an emergency situation.
However, boiled water only kills bacteria and doesn’t remove other contaminants that can be found in our drinking water including heavy metals, chemicals, traces of chlorine, and odour. Water filters are much quicker than boiling and can remove all of these impurities and more, making them an ideal solution for anyone looking to enjoy clean and safe drinking water at the touch of a button.
The award-winning QETTLE tap offers four flows from a single spout: cold filtered water, hot boiled water, chilled water and normal hot and cold water. Each flow can be controlled independently and the system comes standard with a safety switch to prevent accidental dispensation of boiling water, and a red lock icon indicates when the unit is in safe mode. The spout also varies the speed of the flow momentarily, which eliminates splashing as you fill your cup and helps to eliminate the risk of burns or spills. instant boiling water and chilled water tap
