The associated hardware could include a small boiler/water tank and a filter too, so if you’re not great with DIY it might be best to get a professional to fit it. The filter, incidentally, can help prevent limescale, but will need replacing over time so keep an eye on replacement costs for that too. As mentioned, the spray part of the tap applies to the regular hot and cold water mixing from your overall water system, and there’s a simple lever mixer tap for adjusting power and heat level. An instant boiling water tap is much cheaper and much more efficient than a kettle. The boiler takes water from your kitchen’s existing cold-water supply and heats it using its innovative, low-energy, insulated, pressure tank. The water stays in the tank, heated to the temperature you choose (you can adjust it between 75 – 98.9 degrees). The innovate boiler means that the tank can keep a full 2.4 litres of water heated to 98.9 degrees all day for only 8.7p.

The secret to the success of the Fohen boiling water system is in the unassuming innovative boiler tank unit which discreetly slips away under your sink unit to do all the hard work. The compact tank is not under mains pressure, so the system is unvented and therefore no excess water is discharged to drain.

However, we would recommend calling a trained plumbing professional to avoid any kitchen nightmares. No need to call the electrician. We’ve purposefully designed the Fohën Instant Boiling Water System to be as easy to install as possible. Please see our installation guide here.

Plus, it's well worth considering the time you'll save too on waiting for your kettle to boil – hot water taps are considerably speedier to use.

Operating the latest cutting-edge technology, our magnificent colour finishes are achieved using a process called Physical Vapour Deposition.
