Product Description
The Instanta CTSV36T9 is a 36-litre auto-fill countertop water boiler fitted with twin taps, designed for continuous hot water demand in commercial catering and hospitality environments. It connects directly to the mains water supply, refilling automatically so staff are never waiting for a manual fill cycle during service. The twin-tap configuration means two users can draw simultaneously without interruption — a practical advantage during breakfast service, buffet runs, or any high-throughput beverage operation.
In practice, this unit is well suited to sites where hot drinks volume is steady and consistent rather than occasional. The auto-fill mechanism maintains a reliable reserve throughout service, and the ability to programme the operating temperature between 80°C and 98°C gives operators control over water delivery to suit the specific teas, instant coffees, or food preparations being served. An integral seven-day programmable timer means the unit can be scheduled to heat in advance of service and power down overnight, which helps manage energy consumption without requiring manual intervention.
Practical operational benefits include:
- Twin taps allow simultaneous dispensing, reducing queuing at busy service points
- Auto-fill eliminates manual refilling and reduces the risk of running dry mid-service
- Programmable temperature and timer settings support consistent output and energy management
- Stainless steel drip tray helps maintain a clean, hygienic workspace
- Countertop or stand-mounted installation keeps the footprint manageable
This is a three-phase hardwired unit, so it requires a suitable three-phase electrical supply and professional installation by a qualified electrician. It is not suitable for single-phase domestic or light-commercial connections. Countertop positioning requires a stable, level surface with adequate clearance around the unit, and a mains water connection will need to be accessible nearby. These are standard requirements for equipment of this type, but worth confirming before ordering.
The CTSV36T9 is a practical choice for hotel banqueting operations, staff canteens, busy café counters, and catering kitchens where hot water demand runs continuously across a service period. Sites with lower volume requirements may find a smaller-capacity unit more appropriate, while very high-volume operations across multiple service points may benefit from a larger or multi-unit setup.
If you are unsure whether this model is the right fit for your service volume or installation setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For most single-point beverage operations — café counters, staff canteens, or hotel breakfasts — a 36-litre auto-fill unit provides a reliable continuous supply because it draws from the mains rather than relying on a fixed tank. The key consideration is the draw rate relative to your service pattern; if you are running multiple high-demand service points simultaneously, it is worth discussing whether a larger-capacity unit or a multi-boiler setup would be more appropriate.
- This unit requires a three-phase hardwired electrical connection, which must be installed by a qualified electrician — it is not compatible with a standard single-phase supply. You will also need a mains cold water feed in close proximity to the installation point. Countertop positioning requires a stable, level surface with sufficient clearance; if a dedicated stand is needed, this should be factored into your planning before installation.
- Yes — the unit allows the water delivery temperature to be programmed within a range up to 98°C, which gives operators the flexibility to set the output to suit specific drinks or food preparations. Some herbal teas or instant products perform better at slightly lower temperatures, and having that control built in means you are not locked into a fixed output that may not suit your menu.
