ctsp17t specification sheetProduct Description
The Instanta CTSP17T is a countertop auto-fill water boiler with a 17 litre capacity and twin dispensing taps. It connects directly to a mains water supply and refills automatically, removing the need for manual filling and keeping hot water consistently available throughout service. Integral water filtration is built in as standard, treating the incoming supply before it enters the tank.
In busy service environments, the twin-tap arrangement allows two members of staff to draw hot water simultaneously, which makes a practical difference during breakfast service, lunch breaks, or any period where demand is concentrated. The ECO mode reduces energy consumption during quieter periods, and a programmable timer allows the boiler to be scheduled around your operation rather than left running unnecessarily. A filter monitor helps staff track when the cartridge needs changing, which protects both water quality and the long-term condition of the unit.
The practical advantages of this unit in day-to-day service include:
- Auto-fill operation removes the manual refill burden from front-of-house or kitchen staff
- Twin taps reduce queuing and speed up hot drinks service at peak times
- Built-in filtration helps protect against scale and maintains consistent water quality
- ECO mode and programmable timer support lower running costs over time
- Stainless steel drip tray is straightforward to remove and clean
Installation requires a mains cold water connection and a 13-amp plug socket, which keeps the setup relatively straightforward for most counter or servery positions. It is worth confirming that a suitable water supply point and drainage arrangement are accessible near the intended position before installation. The countertop footprint suits serveries, cafeteria counters, and back-of-house positions where space is limited.
This boiler is well suited to cafés, staff canteens, hotel breakfast operations, schools, and similar sites with steady but not exceptionally high hot water demand. For sites with very high continuous throughput or multiple service points, a larger-capacity or higher-output model may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this capacity suits your service volume or have questions about the water connection requirements, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you order.

ctsp17t specification sheetFrequently Asked Questions
- For a mid-sized café, staff canteen, or hotel breakfast operation with steady demand, a 17 litre auto-fill boiler is generally well suited, as the continuous mains connection means the tank replenishes as it is drawn down rather than relying on a fixed reservoir. For sites with very high simultaneous demand — large event catering or high-volume canteens serving hundreds of covers in a short window — a higher-capacity unit may be a more practical fit. If you are unsure about your throughput requirements, it is worth speaking to us before ordering.
- The CTSP17T requires a mains cold water supply connection and a standard 13-amp socket, so it does not need a dedicated electrical circuit or specialist trade installation in most cases. You will need a suitable water inlet point and an overflow or drainage arrangement near the installation position. It is countertop-mounted, so confirming the available surface space and proximity to a water supply before fitting will help avoid complications on the day.
- The built-in filtration treats the incoming mains water to reduce scale and improve water quality before it enters the boiler tank, which helps protect internal components and maintain consistent output quality over time. The unit includes a filter monitor that tracks usage and prompts staff when a cartridge change is due, rather than relying on a fixed calendar interval. Actual replacement frequency will depend on your local water hardness and daily usage volume.
