4. Efficiency: Providing hot water on demand, you will be using the exact amount of hot water that you will need – reducing water wastage, saving energy and reducing electricity consumption. This differs to a kettle, which you need to constantly boil throughout the day. Also, with a Quooker CUBE or HydroTap from Zip, you can have sparkling water instantly, reducing your consumption of single-use plastic.

5. Safety: A boiling water tap is impossible to turn on accidently – there needs to be a sequence of movements for it to be available. For example, a Quooker tap requires you to do a simple ‘double-tap-twist’ motion for it to be available. The mechanism is different to your standard water tap, making it difficult for children to turn on. Some models have a childproof handle too, making the tap safer for family homes.
