A standard hot water tap dispenses hot water from your home’s main plumbing system (typically 40-60°C), which is used for washing dishes or hands. A boiling water tap provides much hotter, near-boiling water (around 98°C) from its own dedicated boiler unit, perfect for making drinks or cooking. Most ARNO models are multi-functional, offering both standard hot water and instant boiling water from the same fixture.

No, they are highly energy-efficient. An ARNO boiling tap is far cheaper to run than a traditional kettle. The insulated boiler tank uses minimal energy to maintain its temperature, costing only a few pence per day. You save money and energy because you only heat the exact amount of water you need, rather than repeatedly boiling a full kettle.

Yes, they are designed with safety as a top priority. Unlike a kettle which can be easily knocked over, a boiling water tap is a fixed installation. All ARNO models include child-safe mechanisms that require a specific action to dispense boiling water, preventing accidental use. Additionally, the spouts are insulated, so they remain cool to the touch.

Yes, a tap water filter is essential. It removes impurities like chlorine and limescale from the water, which not only improves the taste of your drinks but also protects the boiler tank from damage. We recommend changing the water filter tap cartridge every 6 months to ensure your drinking water tap continues to deliver pure, great-tasting water.

An ARNO water tap is designed for straightforward installation by a competent DIYer or any qualified plumber. The system connects to your existing pipework and a standard power socket under the sink. Full instructions are provided, but we always recommend professional installation to ensure everything is set up correctly and safely. For more information, please refer to our installation tutorial.

ARNO taps are the first boilling water taps with intuitive touchscreen and the integrated child safty lock feature in the UK. We believe the best boiling water tap is one that combines performance, safety, style, and reliability. They provide a truly superior and convenient kitchen experience.
