Guidance on Maintaining Your Boiling Water Tap
With the introduction of our reasonably priced line of boiling water taps, more and more homeowners are taking advantage of the convenience of a boiling water tap at home. Nevertheless, installing a high-tech appliance still requires investment, despite its low cost. Your boiling tap should be able to resist normal use and survive as long as possible, just like every other piece of equipment in your house. How to clean and maintain your new 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 kitchen tap is covered in this post.
Keeping the Boiling Water Tap Clean
To keep your boiling water tap looking its best every day, wipe it dry after use. Use a tea towel, bespoke kitchen roll, microfiber cloth, or the soft side of a sponge for this. Use a few drops of washing-up liquid (any brand will do) and a soft sponge to lather the tap with warm water once a week at the very least. We strongly advise against using scourers or abrasive sponges since they could harm your tap’s finish. Finally, wash the soap away with warm water—not boiling—and dry with a soft tea towel or microfiber cloth.
You can use diluted lemon juice every two weeks or once a month to give your tap its natural vigour and sparkle. Put some lemon juice in a spray bottle, dilute it by one-fourth with water, and spray it on your faucet. After one minute, wipe it off with warm water before buffing and drying it with a soft cloth.
What about the water heater?
Little maintenance is needed for the 2.4-liter tank. Simply make sure there are no obvious signs of damage, wear, or leaks by checking once a month. Please switch off your boiler unit at the wall if you see a leak or damage, and then contact us to talk with one of our experts. If there are obvious problems with the boiling water tank, stop using the tap.
Filter Replacement
The 3-in-1 taps have a filter for the boiler tank that gets rid of pollutants like carbon. An additional filter for cold, filtered water is included with the 4-in-1 taps. For optimal performance and continued warranty protection, you should change your filter every six months. By following the offered directions, you may complete this task without much help from a professional.
Should you service a boiling water tap?
In most instances, servicing is not required. You may prevent minor wear and tear and potential problems by routinely cleaning and inspecting your boiling tap. However, if you experience problems like the following, we advise having a professional examine your system:
- The boiler is dripping water.
- unusually high or low water pressure.
- damage to the boiler tank’s body.

Dealing with Limescale on Your Tap
Our boiling taps rarely get limescale because of the included filter. However, after some time, limescale could start to emerge if you reside in a region with especially hard water. Spray limescale with lemon juice that has been diluted 1:4 with water to get rid of it. After a few minutes, wipe it off rather than scrub. You could try a vinegar and water solution if that doesn’t work.
Should You Turn Off a Boiling Water Tap at Night?
You don’t need to shut off the boiling water faucet at night. The boiler will use the least amount of energy possible while maintaining a constant temperature until the next morning. As it takes more energy to reheat the entire tank, doing this is more energy-efficient than turning off your boiler every night.
What to Do If You’re Leaving
We advise leaving your tap on if you won’t be using it for longer than two weeks. To save energy, turn off your faucet if you plan to be gone for an extended period of time. We advise draining the entire unit, including the pipes, if you anticipate that the property may experience temperatures that dip to nearly freezing while you’re away. This will limit further damage.
