Judy, Ral gives me a DJ voucher each Birthday.  I am very mean when I spend it.  But if I see something I like, I get it.

We have recently fitted an instant hot water tap over our sink - one more appliance off the bench, the jug can move to the caravan!
It makes a good cuppa tea

I've not seen that type before Jo.  You sound very happy with it.  It looks like a Puratap water filter not a boiling water outlet.

We are thinking of having a similar system fitted in our kitchen Jo.We probably go with a "Combi" system, boiling water and hot water,as my hot water supply to my kitchen tap is dreadful :-)) ( I joke that it travels from Egypt)

I had a boiling water tap at my kitchen sink in my house and since moving it is one of two things I really miss. The other being my huge bathtub. I did put a timer on the boiling water tap so I was not paying for it to be heated overnight. It came on at 0600 and off at 2000. Over a year a big saving in electricity.

Very good point, Gert - will see what impact it has on our power bill.

we just went for the basic single tap, as we have good hot and cold water pressure, and also our cold water is lovely - we don't need the filter type ones.
Luckily DH could do the installation - all the little plumbing bits added up anyway though. The biggest extra for us was having to get the concrete cutter guy round to cut a hole in our beautiful granite bench! (That was pretty nerve-wracking...and loud)

DS loves it too and now makes a pretty good tea or coffee - his first cup of tea though...he thought tea leaves were like instant coffee - add and stir. Was a bit of a nasty surprise for DH when he took his first mouthful! lol
