Fohen Fahrenheit Brushed Gold 3-in-1 Instant Boiling Water Tap

Product Information

The ‘live’ chat is also in need of serious resuscitation, with totally unhelpful responses to quite simple enquiries like, ‘Our tap is broken through no fault of our own. We had an issue with the switch between a single stream and the spray wearing out quickly on our tap (within a couple of months), but this part simple screws on and off, and Fohen sent us a replacement immediately. C is the minimum, and 98°C is the maximum – you can get some boiling water taps that hit 99°C, but 98 should be sufficient. So you've honed in on the best boiling water tap or hot water tap for your household, but there now a few things to consider before purchasing.

This is a well-insulated tank, and Fohen estimates that it costs around 9p per day to operate, which the company says is less than it costs to boil a kettle, based on how many times it’s boiled in the average household. When she's not doing this she can be found at home in her Victorian terrace which she has lovingly (patiently) been renovating with her husband over the past few years. Pull the spout down to release it from its holding arm, and then you can direct its hose wherever you want, making it ideal for rinsing down a big sink full of dishes, or for giving your draining board a spray. The designer is very knowledgeable about brands and makes - he seems to know his stuff and is quite passionate about it which is slightly nerdy but excellent for us!We went for a Qooker mainly because as far as I could see it was the only one that did 100 degrees which I wanted for tea. The replacement filters are generally a breeze to install, and some brands such as INTU boiling water taps even come with a filter recognition system that lets you know exactly when it’s ready to be replaced. Then you have a second tap, which is a short and rigid arm that sticks out at a right angle from the main tap about half way up. Aside from many not actually reaching boiling point which is one thing you'll want to check, you'll see that some boiling water taps describe themselves as a 'three-in-one', meaning they offer all the functions of a regular kitchen tap but with the added mode of boiling water. Also suitable for use as a regular hot and cold tap, this piece of kit will replace the kettle and revolutionise your current sink set-up.

This can be an issue with a lot of boiling water taps, but reviewers did note that despite the insulated sides, parts of the tap did get hot to the touch. If your home has a cohesive look that involves other metals or colours, this model may not be right for you. Back to function: the size of the boiler tank dictates how much hot water can be drawn at a time - which is, of course, an important factor when choosing a hot water tap .Great communication for any questions I had about the tap itself, they came back to me really quickly with clear answers.
