InSinkErator Hot and Cold Side Taps FAQs

How do InSinkErator Hot and Cold Side Taps work?

InSinkErator Hot and Cold Side Taps connect to an under-sink water tank that heats water to near-boiling temperatures while also providing access to cold filtered water. The tap is designed with separate levers or handles to dispense hot and cold water instantly, eliminating the need for a kettle or separate water filter. The system ensures energy efficiency by only heating water when needed, while an optional filtration system improves water quality by reducing impurities and odours. This setup provides a convenient and space-saving solution for modern kitchens.

Are InSinkErator Hot and Cold Side Taps energy efficient?

Yes, InSinkErator Hot and Cold Side Taps are energy efficient, as they only heat water when needed, reducing standby energy consumption compared to traditional kettles. The insulated under-sink tank maintains the water at a set temperature with minimal energy use, preventing unnecessary heating cycles. Additionally, by providing instant hot water, these taps eliminate the need to boil excess water, reducing overall energy and water waste. This makes them a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for modern kitchens.

Can I install an InSinkErator Hot and Cold Side Tap myself?

Yes, you can install an InSinkErator Hot and Cold Side Tap yourself if you're comfortable with basic plumbing and electrical work. The installation involves mounting the tap on your sink or countertop, connecting the water supply lines, installing the hot water tank under the sink, and plugging it into a power outlet. You'll need to ensure you have an available hole for the tap, shut off the water supply before starting, and check for leaks after installation. If you're unsure about drilling a hole or handling plumbing connections, you may want to consult a professional.

Do InSinkErator taps require a filtration system?

InSinkErator hot water taps typically come with an optional filtration system to improve water quality, but it is not always required for basic operation. The filtration system helps reduce impurities, chlorine taste, and odours, ensuring cleaner and better-tasting hot and cold water. Some models, particularly those designed for drinking water, include a filter as standard, while others allow you to install one separately if desired. While the tap can function without a filter, using one is recommended if your water supply has noticeable impurities or if you want to maintain the appliance's longevity by preventing mineral build-up. Always check the specific model's requirements for compatibility.

Are InSinkErator Hot and Cold Side Taps compatible with all kitchen sinks?

InSinkErator Hot and Cold Side Taps are compatible with most kitchen sinks, but there are a few factors to consider. They require a dedicated hole in the sink or countertop, typically 35mm in diameter, so if your sink doesn’t have an extra pre-drilled hole, you may need to create one. The under-sink space must also accommodate the hot water tank and any filtration system, which may be challenging in compact or crowded cabinets. Additionally, the tap’s water pressure requirements should match your home’s plumbing system. Before purchasing, check the specifications of your sink and available space to ensure compatibility.
