Auto Fill Water Boilers

The Marco Ecoboiler T5 is a compact, mains-fed countertop water boiler designed for consistent hot water delivery in light to medium service environments. It connects directly to the cold water supply and fills automatically, maintaining temperature without any manual topping up. A single no-drip tap dispenses hot water on demand, keeping operation straightforward for any member of staff.

In practice, the T5 suits operations where demand is steady rather than intense — a café working through a morning service, a staff canteen meeting break-time demand, or a hospitality suite where guests serve themselves. It handles that kind of rolling throughput reliably without requiring close attention from the operator. For sites running continuous high-volume service, a larger-capacity boiler would be worth considering.

The day-to-day operational advantages are straightforward:

• Automatic mains fill removes manual handling and reduces the risk of running dry mid-service
• No-drip tap keeps the service counter clean during busy periods
• Adjustable electronic temperature control suits different brewing and beverage applications
• Automatic cut-out provides a safety backstop against overheating
• Accessible descaling process helps maintain output without specialist servicing

Installation is uncomplicated. The unit runs from a standard 13-amp socket and requires a mains cold water connection — typically a straightforward push-fit or BSP fitting to an existing supply. It sits on the counter with no fixed installation work or ventilation requirements. The main practical consideration before positioning the unit is proximity to a suitable water supply point.

The Ecoboiler T5 is well suited to cafés, office kitchens, hospitality suites, and smaller catering operations where reliable countertop hot water is needed but volume doesn't justify a larger boiler. If you'd like to talk through whether this capacity fits your expected service pattern, or how it sits alongside your existing beverage setup, we're happy to help you think it through.

The Marco MT8F is a mains-fed, autofill water boiler with an integrated filtration system, designed for continuous hot water service in commercial and semi-commercial environments. Where a manual-fill boiler requires monitoring and periodic topping up, the MT8F connects directly to the cold water supply and refills itself automatically, maintaining a consistent volume of near-boiling water throughout the service period. The built-in filter treats incoming water before it enters the heating chamber, which helps manage scale build-up in harder water areas and contributes to a cleaner, more consistent cup quality across the day.

In practice, this type of boiler performs well where hot water demand is steady rather than exceptionally high — a café counter, a hotel breakfast station, a staff restaurant servery, or a catered meeting suite are all typical applications. The autofill mechanism keeps the unit operational without requiring the team to intervene during service, and the filtration layer adds a degree of protection to the heating element that supports longer-term reliability.

Practical benefits worth noting:

• Autofill operation removes the risk of running dry during service
• Integrated filtration helps protect internal components in hard water areas
• Single-tap dispensing suits a single counter station with one operator
• Runs from a standard 13-amp socket with no dedicated electrical supply needed
• Compact footprint fits most existing counter or shelf positions

Installation is straightforward — the unit needs a mains cold water connection and a standard 13-amp socket, so most existing counter positions can accommodate it without electrical work. You will need to route a water supply line to the unit, and in harder water areas, keeping to the recommended filter replacement schedule is important for maintaining performance. The single-tap output is appropriate for a single-station setup; sites running multiple simultaneous service points or dispensing at continuously high volume may find a larger or multi-outlet unit a better match.

The MT8F is well suited to cafés, hotels, office catering operations, and contract catering environments where a self-managing hot water supply is needed without the complexity of a full boiling water system. It sits in the mid-range of what this type of equipment can handle — reliable for moderate service volumes, but not intended for the highest-throughput applications. For sites with significantly greater demand or multi-point service requirements, it is worth considering a higher-capacity option before committing.

If you would like to talk through whether the MT8F is the right fit for your setup, the team is glad to help you think it through.

The Instanta WMSP3W, commonly referred to as the WM3, is a compact auto-fill water boiler designed to mount directly to the wall, keeping the worktop entirely clear beneath it. It connects to the mains cold water supply and refills automatically throughout the day, so staff do not need to monitor water levels or interrupt service to top it up manually. A built-in 7-day programmable timer allows operators to schedule heating cycles around their actual opening hours, which helps avoid unnecessary energy use outside of service periods.

In day-to-day operation the WM3 is a reliable, low-maintenance unit for settings where demand is modest and consistent. It is not designed to sustain continuous high-volume output at a busy main counter, but for its intended use — staff rooms, small cafés, hotel beverage points, secondary service stations, and similar lower-throughput environments — it performs well without requiring much attention from staff.

• Wall-mounted design keeps counter surfaces completely clear during service
• Auto-fill connection removes the need for manual refilling throughout the day
• Programmable timer aligns energy use with actual service hours
• Filter change indicator prompts maintenance before water quality is affected
• Onboard diagnostics help identify issues early, before they disrupt service

Installation requires a mains cold water connection and an appropriate power supply. A hardwired connection is generally preferred for permanent commercial installations rather than a standard 13A socket, and this should be confirmed with a qualified electrician before fitting. The wall fixing point needs to be structurally sound and should allow reasonable access for routine servicing. Local water hardness is worth factoring into your maintenance plan, as it will influence filter change frequency and descaling requirements over time.

The WM3 is well suited to lower-volume sites — small cafés, office kitchens, hotel beverage stations, staff canteens, and similar settings. For higher-volume operations or a main service counter with continuous demand, a larger-capacity unit would be a more appropriate choice.

If you are unsure whether this model fits your setup or want to talk through the installation requirements, the team is happy to help you work it out before you commit.

The Instanta CTS19F6 is a counter top water boiler designed for commercial settings where a reliable, uninterrupted supply of hot water is needed throughout a full service period. It connects directly to a mains water supply and fills automatically, removing the need for manual refilling during service. Integrated point-of-use filtration is built in, which protects water taste, reduces scale accumulation, and removes the need for a separate inline filter unit.

In practice, this kind of unit earns its place in cafés, workplace restaurants, hotel serveries, and similar operations where hot beverage demand is steady rather than extreme. The capacity is sufficient to handle repeated rounds without the recovery pauses that can create pressure during a busy morning or lunchtime service. Electronic temperature control keeps the water at a consistent serving temperature across the day, so the first cup served and the last are drawn from water that is equally ready.

Day-to-day operational advantages include:

• Integrated filtration protects water quality without additional inline equipment
• Auto-fill operation keeps the boiler ready throughout service without manual intervention
• Electronic temperature control maintains consistent water temperature across long service periods
• Counter top footprint preserves floor space and keeps the unit accessible during service
• Hardwired single-phase connection provides a stable, permanent supply suited to daily commercial use

Installation does require a hardwired single-phase electrical connection — a standard plug socket will not suffice, so electrical work should be planned and budgeted before the unit arrives. A mains cold water feed and an accessible stop valve are also needed at the installation point. It is worth checking that the counter surface can bear the weight of the unit when full before deciding on placement.

The CTS19F6 sits in a practical middle ground: more capable than a small top-up boiler, but appropriately sized for sites where a large floor-standing urn would be unnecessary. For operations with a high volume of covers in tight service windows, or where multiple service points need supplying simultaneously, a higher-capacity or higher-output model may be a better fit.

If you would like to talk through the unit's suitability for your service volume or installation setup, the team is happy to help before you place an order.

The Burco AFF20CT is a mains-fed autofill water boiler with an integrated water filter, designed for commercial and semi-commercial environments where a continuous, reliable supply of hot water is needed throughout the service day. Unlike manual-fill boilers, it draws directly from the cold mains supply, removing the need for staff to top it up by hand and eliminating the risk of the element running dry during a busy period.

In practice, this type of boiler performs well in canteens, cafés, hotel breakfast services, and staffed hospitality counters where hot water demand is steady and sustained. It can support a high number of hot drink servings across an extended service period without significant recovery delays — making it a more practical choice for prolonged busy periods than for intense short peaks at very high volume.

The built-in filtration tackles two common concerns in commercial beverage service: water taste and limescale accumulation. Filtration won't eliminate the need for descaling, but it does reduce the frequency and helps extend the working life of the heating element — a worthwhile consideration for sites in hard-water areas. The adjustable temperature setting is useful where the menu includes herbal or speciality teas that are best served below a full boil.

• Autofill from mains supply removes manual topping-up and dry-boil risk
• Integrated filter improves drink quality and reduces limescale build-up
• Adjustable temperature suits standard and speciality tea and hot drinks menus
• Eco-mode programming helps manage running costs during quieter periods
• Chrome tap with selectable flow control and a generously sized drip tray

Installation requires a mains cold water connection alongside a standard 13-amp plug socket, which keeps setup straightforward for most commercial sites. No hardwired electrical supply is needed, though the water feed will require a competent plumber to connect. It is not intended as a replacement for a full-capacity urn in high-volume central production kitchens, but for front-of-house or dedicated beverage station use it balances capacity with a compact footprint well.

This boiler is well suited to small-to-medium catering operations, hotel beverage stations, office canteens, and café counters with moderate-to-busy service volumes. Operators running significantly higher volumes, or supplying multiple service points at once, may find a larger-capacity unit a better fit for their operation.

If you'd like to talk through whether this model suits your service volume or water supply arrangement, the team is happy to help before you make a decision.

The Lincat EB6FX is a countertop, mains-fed automatic fill water boiler with a built-in filtration system. It connects directly to the cold water supply, fills and reheats without manual intervention, and delivers boiling water on demand throughout the day. The integrated filter cartridge reduces scale accumulation and helps maintain water quality — a practical consideration on any site where water hardness is known to affect taste or shorten service intervals.

In steady service, the EB6FX is designed to keep pace with continuous draw-off without the recovery delays that can disrupt a busy beverage counter. The LCD panel displays operating status and active diagnostics, so any issue can be identified promptly rather than noticed only after performance has already dropped. A 7-day programmable timer means the unit can be scheduled around your opening hours, avoiding unnecessary energy use during closed periods.

The practical day-to-day advantages for operators include:

• Automatic fill removes the need for manual water management during service
• Integrated filtration reduces scale build-up and can extend time between services
• Adjustable temperature settings support a range of hot beverages beyond standard tea and coffee
• Programmable timer aligns energy use with actual operating hours
• Accessible filter cartridges and an easy-descale function keep routine maintenance manageable

Installation is straightforward for most sites. The unit runs from a standard 13-amp plug, so no dedicated electrical circuit or rewiring is needed. It does require a mains cold water connection, so positioning near an existing supply point is worth planning at the outset. As a countertop unit it has a modest footprint, but placement should allow clear tap access and adequate clearance for drainage of any minor drip or condensation.

The EB6FX suits cafés, hotel breakfast operations, workplace catering facilities, and smaller hospitality venues where reliable boiling water is needed throughout the day without the space or infrastructure demands of a floor-standing unit. Sites with sustained high-volume demand across multiple service points may find a higher-capacity boiler is a better fit for their throughput requirements.

If you'd like to talk through whether the output suits your service pattern, or you have questions about the water connection and placement, we're happy to help you work it out before you commit.

The Instanta CTSP19HT6 is a 19-litre countertop water boiler fitted with twin taps and an integral filtration system. It is designed for continuous hot water dispensing in commercial beverage service environments, hardwired to a single-phase supply and suitable for counter-top or stand installation.

In practice, the twin-tap configuration makes the most noticeable difference during peak service periods. In a hotel breakfast operation, a staff canteen, or a high-footfall café, having two members of staff draw hot water simultaneously keeps the beverage station moving without creating a bottleneck. The integral filter helps protect the heating element from scale accumulation — particularly relevant in hard water regions, where unfiltered boilers can deteriorate quickly and lose temperature consistency at the tap. A programmable filter monitor tracks cumulative water throughput and prompts replacement at the appropriate interval, removing the guesswork from maintenance scheduling.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:

• Twin taps allow simultaneous draws, reducing queuing at the beverage station
• ECO mode reduces energy consumption during quieter trading periods
• Integral timer lets operators schedule heating around service times, avoiding unnecessary overnight running
• Built-in diagnostics simplify fault identification and help minimise downtime
• Stainless steel drip tray supports hygiene and ease of cleaning

Installation requires a hardwired single-phase electrical connection. An appropriately rated spur or isolation point will need to be in place before commissioning, and qualified electrical installation is essential. This is not a plug-and-play unit, so factoring in installation time and cost is worth doing before ordering.

This boiler is well suited to cafés, hotel serveries, school canteens, and similar operations where reliable, filtered hot water is needed across a sustained service period. For smaller sites with lower throughput, a single-tap or reduced-capacity model may be a better fit. For very high-volume operations running multiple service points concurrently, a larger-capacity unit is worth considering.

If you are weighing up whether this capacity and configuration matches your service pattern, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Instanta WMS2 is a compact, mains-fed water boiler designed to mount directly to the wall, keeping the worksurface clear while maintaining a ready supply of hot water. At 2.5 litres, it draws continuously from the cold mains supply and refills automatically, so there is no manual topping up required during service.

In practice, this unit performs reliably in settings where hot water demand is steady rather than intense — a back-office tea point, a staffroom, a waiting area, or a satellite beverage station within a larger operation. The auto-fill mechanism means staff do not need to manage the unit during service, and because it maintains a heated reservoir throughout the day, hot water is available on demand without delay.

The wall-mounted format brings several practical advantages worth noting:

• Frees the worksurface entirely for preparation or service use
• Non-drip tap reduces spillage and keeps the area beneath clean
• Stainless steel casing wipes down quickly and stands up to daily use
• Mains auto-fill removes any manual water management during service
• Fixed wall position keeps the unit stable and out of the flow of work

Installation requires a cold mains water connection routed to the mounting position and a suitable power supply — a hardwired connection is recommended for any permanent installation rather than relying on a standard socket. Wall fixings must be appropriate for the unit's loaded weight, and it is worth confirming adequate clearance beneath the tap for the cups or jugs in use. Routine descaling is a standard maintenance requirement, so access to the inlet and internal components should be factored into where the unit is positioned — particularly in hard water areas.

This model is well suited to low-to-moderate demand environments: small cafés, office kitchens, healthcare waiting areas, or supplementary hot water points on larger sites. Where a site needs to support continuous high-volume drink service through a busy period, a higher-capacity unit would be a more dependable choice.

If you are unsure whether this capacity matches your expected demand, or you want to talk through the installation before ordering, the team is glad to help you work it out.

The Instanta CTSP19T6 is a mains-fed countertop water boiler with a 19-litre capacity, twin dispensing taps, and a built-in filtration system. It connects directly to the mains water supply and refills automatically, maintaining a consistent working volume throughout service without any manual intervention. The integrated filter treats incoming water before it reaches the heating element, protecting the unit from scale build-up while also improving the taste of hot drinks — removing the need for a separate inline filter installation.

In a busy service environment, the twin-tap configuration makes a genuine practical difference. Two members of staff can draw hot water simultaneously, which helps prevent bottlenecks at the drinks station during peak periods. Because the unit refills and reheats continuously, output remains consistent across a long breakfast service, lunch sitting, or back-to-back hospitality event — rather than tailing off as a manually filled unit would. An adjustable temperature setting allows operators to match the dispensing temperature to their drink range, and an ECO mode reduces energy draw during quieter periods without requiring any staff input.

The key operational advantages in practice:

• Twin taps allow simultaneous dispensing, reducing congestion at the hot drinks station
• Auto-fill operation sustains output throughout service without staff involvement
• Integrated filtration protects the element and improves drink quality within a single unit
• ECO mode manages energy use automatically during quieter trading periods
• On-board diagnostics provide early warning of faults, helping to limit unexpected downtime

This is a hardwired single-phase unit and requires a fused spur connection installed by a qualified electrician — it cannot be connected via a standard plug socket. It also needs to be positioned within reach of a mains cold water supply, with provision for drip tray drainage. As a countertop model, available bench space and any overhead clearance should be confirmed before ordering.

The CTSP19T6 is a practical mid-capacity option well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast and dining operations, staff restaurants, education catering, and hospitality venues that need a reliable filtered hot water supply across a sustained service. Sites with very high throughput, multiple simultaneous service points, or continuous all-day demand may find a higher-capacity model a more appropriate fit.

If you would like to talk through whether this model matches your service volume and kitchen setup before going ahead, the team is happy to help.

The Instanta CTSV36T9 is a 36-litre countertop water boiler with twin dispensing taps and automatic mains-fed refill. It connects directly to the water supply and maintains a continuous hot water reserve without manual intervention, making it a practical choice for sites where demand does not pause between service periods.

The twin-tap arrangement allows two members of staff or guests to draw simultaneously, which matters at breakfast service, buffet stations, or any beverage counter handling steady throughput. Because the unit refills itself from the mains, there is no risk of running dry mid-service — a common problem with manually filled boilers in busy operations. A programmable seven-day timer allows the boiler to reach temperature ahead of service and shut down overnight, and adjustable temperature settings let operators match water delivery to the specific requirements of their drinks or food preparation workflow.

Key operational advantages include:

• Simultaneous twin-tap dispensing reduces queuing at busy service points
• Auto-fill removes manual monitoring and the risk of running dry
• Programmable timer supports energy management without staff input
• Adjustable temperature output suits different beverage and preparation tasks
• Countertop or stand-mounted footprint suits most service counter layouts

This is a three-phase hardwired unit. It requires a three-phase electrical supply and must be connected by a qualified electrician — it is not suitable for single-phase installations. A mains cold water connection must be accessible at the point of installation, and the surface should be stable and level. These are standard requirements for equipment of this class, but worth confirming before placing an order.

The CTSV36T9 is well suited to hotel banqueting and conference facilities, staff canteens, and busy café counters running continuous hot water demand across a full service day. Sites with lighter or more intermittent requirements may find a smaller-capacity model more appropriate, while operations running multiple service points may benefit from a higher-capacity or multi-unit arrangement.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your service volume and site setup, the team is happy to help before you commit.

The Instanta CTS17F is a mains-fed, auto-fill counter top water boiler that connects directly to a cold water supply and heats, maintains, and replenishes water automatically throughout the service day. Unlike manually filled urns, it removes the need for staff to monitor water levels or intervene during busy periods — the unit simply stays ready. Integrated multi-purpose filtration is built into the unit, which is particularly relevant for sites in hard-water areas where limescale accumulation on heating elements is a common cause of early failure and inconsistent output.

In a working service environment — a café running hot drinks across a full shift, a hotel breakfast operation, or a staff canteen — that consistency has a practical value. The LCD fault diagnosis display means that if anything does go wrong, staff can identify the issue quickly rather than waiting for an engineer to investigate. Long-life Incoloy heating elements are a well-proven choice in sustained commercial boiler use, and boil-dry protection provides a safeguard in the event of a supply interruption.

• Mains auto-fill removes manual refilling and reduces the risk of running dry
• Integrated filtration reduces limescale and helps extend element life
• Runs from a standard 13-amp plug — no dedicated electrical circuit required
• LCD fault display supports fast diagnosis and limits service disruption
• Boil-dry protection guards the element if the water supply is interrupted

Installation is practical and straightforward. The unit sits on a counter, requires a cold water feed nearby, and plugs into a standard 13-amp socket. No specialist electrical installation is needed, which keeps setup costs low. It is worth confirming that a suitable water connection point is accessible close to the intended counter position before ordering. A stainless steel drip tray is included to support day-to-day hygiene at the service point.

The CTS17F is well suited to small and medium operations with steady but moderate hot water demand — a café, a hotel servery, a staff dining room, or a similar single beverage station. Sites with higher throughput, longer peak periods, or multiple draw points running simultaneously may find a larger-capacity unit better suited to their needs.

If you would like to talk through whether the output matches your expected service volume, or have questions about positioning and water supply requirements, the team is glad to help you work through it before you order.

The Instanta WMS6PB is a wall-mounted, mains-fed water boiler with a 6-litre capacity, designed for continuous hot water service in commercial environments. It connects directly to a cold water supply and refills automatically, so the unit remains ready throughout the service period without staff needing to intervene. Dispensing is controlled via a push-button mechanism, with the option to programme a metered dose — a practical feature where staff are preparing drinks consistently and at volume.

In a working kitchen or beverage station, the automatic fill cycle is the most operationally significant characteristic. There is no manual topping up between rushes, and because the unit is permanently plumbed, it behaves as infrastructure rather than an appliance someone needs to manage. Wall mounting keeps it clear of the worksurface, which simplifies both workflow and cleaning around the dispense point. An LCD screen displays a caution message during dispensing, which is a small but useful safeguard during a busy service.

The practical advantages for operators are straightforward:

• Automatic fill removes the need for manual topping up during service
• Metered dispense supports consistency and reduces waste
• Programmable portion memory retains settings between sessions
• Wall-mounted position frees counter space in tighter service areas
• Push-button operation requires no particular training for staff

Installation requires a mains cold water connection and an electrical supply. A hardwired connection is recommended for a permanent installation, though the unit can operate from a 13-amp socket where that is more practical. The mounting position — above or below counter level — should be decided with plumbing access in mind, and nearby cabinetry or tiling can affect where the bracket and spill tray are fixed. These are worth thinking through before installation day.

This boiler suits cafés, hotel beverage stations, staff canteens, smaller restaurants, and similar environments with a steady but moderate demand for hot water. It is not intended for high-volume sites running multiple dispense points simultaneously; for those situations, a larger-capacity unit would be a more appropriate choice.

If you are unsure whether this capacity fits your service pattern, or have questions about the plumbing and electrical requirements for your site, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Instanta CTS10PB — also referenced as the DB1000 — is a counter top water boiler designed for continuous hot water service in commercial and semi-commercial environments. It holds 10 litres, fills automatically from a mains cold water supply, and dispenses through a simple push button. There are no complex controls, no manual top-up cycles, and nothing that requires staff to monitor water levels during a busy service.

In practice, this type of boiler performs well wherever hot water demand is steady and consistent rather than intermittent or extreme. A café serving a regular flow of teas and filter coffees, a hotel breakfast station, a staff canteen, or a self-service beverage point are all environments where it earns its place. The auto-fill function keeps the unit replenished and up to temperature without staff input, which matters when front-of-house teams are already managing multiple tasks at once.

The main operational advantages worth noting:

• Runs from a standard 13-amp socket — no dedicated supply or specialist electrical installation needed
• Auto-fill maintains water level throughout service without manual intervention
• Push button dispensing suits both staff-operated and self-service setups
• Counter top format keeps the unit within easy reach without occupying floor space
• Straightforward operation keeps training requirements to a minimum

Because it runs from a standard plug, installation is genuinely straightforward. You will need a suitable counter position, a 13-amp socket within reach, and a mains cold water connection — auto-fill models cannot be used as pour-in units and must be plumbed in. If you are unsure about your water supply arrangement, it is worth confirming the connection with a plumber before the unit arrives.

This boiler is well suited to lower-to-mid volume sites where ease of use, minimal installation, and reliable day-to-day operation are the priorities. Higher-volume operations — a busy restaurant, a large hotel function setup, or a high-throughput catering service — may find a larger-capacity or higher-output model a better fit. At the other end, a very low-demand setting such as a small office break room might be better served by a more compact unit that costs less to run.

If you are unsure whether this model matches your service volume or site setup, the team is always willing to talk it through before you commit.

The Instanta CTSP10 is a plumbed-in, auto-fill counter top water boiler with a 10-litre capacity. It connects directly to the mains cold water supply and replenishes automatically throughout the day, so there is no manual topping up between services. A built-in filtration system conditions the incoming water before it reaches the heating element, protecting internal components and helping to maintain consistent water quality over time.

In a busy service environment, the CTSP10 handles sustained demand well. Whether that is a steady flow of hot beverages in a café, back-to-back drinks service in a hotel servery, or reliable hot water access in a staff restaurant or smaller contract catering kitchen, the unit is designed to keep pace without requiring operator intervention. The seven-day programmable timer allows heating periods to be aligned with actual opening hours, so the boiler is up to temperature when service begins and not running needlessly outside those windows. An ECO mode provides a further degree of energy management during quieter periods, which across a working week can make a noticeable difference to running costs.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the practical advantages are straightforward:

• Adjustable temperature control suits both beverage service and light food preparation tasks
• Programmable filter monitor tracks usage and prompts replacement before water quality is affected
• Two-tier diagnostic system flags faults early, helping to avoid unplanned downtime during service
• Stainless steel drip tray keeps the counter clean and simplifies daily maintenance
• Single-tap dispensing keeps the footprint compact on busy or narrow counter runs

Installation requires a mains cold water connection and a standard 13-amp socket, so there is no specialist electrical work involved. That makes placement on most existing counter runs uncomplicated and straightforward to arrange. The counter top format is well suited to cafés, hotel serveries, staff restaurants, and smaller commercial kitchens where counter space is at a premium but demand for hot water is consistent throughout the day. For sites with significantly higher throughput — larger restaurants, busy contract catering operations, or multi-point service environments — a higher-capacity wall-mounted or floor-standing unit is likely to be a more appropriate choice.

If you are unsure whether the 10-litre capacity is the right match for your service volume or site layout, we are happy to talk it through before you make a decision.

The Instanta CTS5 is a compact, self-contained counter top water boiler with a 5-litre capacity. It is designed for sites that need a reliable hot water supply without the commitment of a plumbed-in unit or the footprint of a higher-capacity machine. Running from a standard 13amp plug socket, it requires no dedicated electrical installation and can be in service the same day it arrives.

In regular commercial use, the CTS5 performs well in environments with a steady, moderate demand for hot water. A small café running continuous tea and coffee service, a hotel breakfast station, a staff canteen, or a takeaway counter are the kinds of settings where this unit earns its place. It holds temperature consistently between draws and recovers well for the service volumes it is designed to handle. It is not the right tool for a high-throughput restaurant pass pushing a hundred covers in a single sitting, but in the right environment it is a dependable piece of kit.

From an operational standpoint, several features translate into genuine day-to-day value:

• Incoloy heating element offers longevity in hard-water areas without frequent replacement
• Full insulation maintains water temperature between draws, reducing unnecessary element cycling
• Built-in self-diagnostics flags issues early, helping to avoid unexpected downtime during service
• Stainless steel drip tray removes easily for cleaning without disrupting service
• Supplied with cable and 13amp plug — no electrician or infrastructure work required

Because it runs from a standard socket, the CTS5 is genuinely flexible — it can be repositioned as service patterns change or moved between locations entirely. That portability is a real advantage for operators who need a hot water solution that adapts to the space rather than defining it. The trade-off is capacity: sites with consistently high or fast-burst demand should honestly consider whether a larger or plumbed auto-fill model would serve them better in the long run.

If you are not certain whether this unit matches your service volume or workflow, we are glad to talk it through — a short conversation tends to save a longer one later.

The Instanta CTS13SL is a slimline, auto-fill counter top water boiler designed for commercial and hospitality operations that need a reliable, continuous supply of near-boiling water throughout the service day. It connects to a standard 13-amp socket and draws cold water directly from the mains, replenishing automatically as it dispenses so there is no manual refilling to manage during service.

In a working environment this type of boiler performs well under moderate, sustained demand — breakfast service in a hotel, continuous tea and coffee output in a staff canteen, or all-day beverage service in a café. It is not designed for sudden, very high-volume peaks across multiple simultaneous service points, and operations with that profile would be better served by a higher-capacity model. For consistent, steady throughput it runs reliably throughout a full service day without requiring close attention from staff.

Several features contribute to day-to-day operational reliability:

• Auto-fill operation sustains continuous output without manual intervention during service
• Integral filter monitor prompts timely filter changes before water quality is affected
• Self-diagnosis LCD display helps staff identify faults quickly and reduce downtime
• Boil-dry and over-fill protection safeguard the unit during busy or unsupervised periods
• Slimline footprint preserves worktop space where counter room is limited

Installation requires a counter top position with access to a cold mains water supply, a 13-amp socket, and an appropriate inline filter. It is worth confirming that your mains water pressure falls within the manufacturer's specified range before fitting. No dedicated electrical circuit or specialist installer is required, which keeps setup straightforward for most sites.

The CTS13SL suits cafés, hotel breakfast operations, staff canteens, healthcare facilities, education settings, and smaller restaurants with steady hot water demand. If you are unsure whether the output aligns with your specific service volumes, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

The Instanta CTSBC2810 — also referenced as the CH1000/MK3 — is a countertop unit that delivers both boiling and chilled filtered water from a single mains-connected appliance. It filters incoming water before dispensing through a twin-tap arrangement, making it a practical alternative to running separate boiler and cooler units or maintaining a bottled water supply in locations where both hot and cold water are needed throughout the day.

In working environments, this type of combined unit performs well where demand is consistent but moderate. Staff refreshment areas, smaller hospitality operations, hotel back-of-house, and customer-facing beverage points are all common applications. The integrated filtration means dispensed water tastes clean and consistent, which has a direct bearing on tea and coffee quality where that matters to the operation.

Running a single combined unit rather than two separate appliances carries some practical advantages worth considering:

• Single mains water connection rather than two separate installation points
• Filtered output reduces reliance on bottled water and the restocking that comes with it
• Twin-tap design keeps hot and cold dispensing clearly separated for staff
• Non-drip taps help maintain a tidy dispensing area during busy periods
• Countertop format suits locations where floor space or under-counter room is limited

Installation is straightforward in most settings. The unit runs from a standard 13-amp plug socket and requires a mains cold water feed, so there is no hardwired electrical work involved. It is worth confirming that a suitable water connection and drain point are accessible at the intended location before deciding on placement.

This unit is well suited to small and mid-sized operations with steady but moderate demand for hot and chilled water. For high-footfall environments such as large staff canteens, busy hospitality venues, or sites needing water at multiple points simultaneously, a higher-capacity system is likely to serve better.

If you would like to talk through whether the output and installation requirements are the right match for your site, the team is happy to help before you commit.

The Instanta CTSV135T18 — known in the range as the MOD18 — is a 135-litre counter-mounted autofill water boiler fitted with twin dispensing taps. It connects directly to the mains cold water supply and maintains a large reservoir of hot water continuously throughout service, without any manual refilling or operator monitoring. It is a practical, no-fuss answer to sustained high-volume hot water demand.

At this capacity, the unit is designed for environments where hot water is needed heavily and consistently over long periods — hotel banqueting suites, contract catering operations, large staff restaurants, and busy canteens. The twin-tap configuration allows two members of staff to draw simultaneously, which makes a real difference during peak periods such as morning beverage service or a large seated lunch. A single dispensing point at this volume would quickly create a bottleneck. The three-phase hardwired supply this unit requires is what allows it to heat and recover at the rate needed to keep pace with that level of demand — a single-phase unit of comparable size would not sustain the same throughput.

The day-to-day operational advantages include:

• Twin swivel-arm taps allow simultaneous dispensing and reduce spillage at the service point
• Autofill operation removes the need for manual refilling or constant monitoring
• Low-voltage switching provides an added layer of safety in wet service environments
• Onboard diagnostics support quick fault identification and help minimise downtime
• Counter-mounted format keeps the unit accessible without occupying floor space

Installation requires a three-phase hardwired electrical supply, connected by a qualified electrician — this is not a plug-in unit. Sites without three-phase power will need to consider a lower-capacity alternative. A mains cold water feed is required for the autofill function. At full capacity the unit carries considerable weight, so the counter or support structure beneath it should be assessed for load-bearing suitability before installation. Allow adequate access for routine descaling and servicing; in hard-water areas this is particularly important, as scale build-up affects both performance and element longevity over time.

This model is well suited to operations running extended service periods with consistently high hot water demand. For smaller sites, or those without three-phase power, lower-capacity single-phase models are available within the range. For very high-footfall environments where even a 135-litre reservoir may be stretched at peak, a higher-output unit may be worth considering.

If you want to work through whether this capacity and configuration is the right match for your site — or if you have questions about the electrical or plumbing requirements — our team is happy to help before you commit to an order.

The Zip HydroBoil Classic is a wall-mounted instant boiling water unit designed to provide a continuous, on-demand supply of near-boiling water without the wait or supervision associated with a conventional kettle or urn. The 5-litre tank heats and holds water at temperature throughout the day, ready to dispense at the turn of a tap whenever it is needed.

In practice, this type of unit performs reliably in settings with a steady but moderate demand — staff canteens, office catering facilities, smaller cafés, hospitality back-of-house areas, and similar environments where consistent access to hot water matters but peak throughput is not extreme. Because the water is held at temperature continuously, there is no recovery delay between individual servings during normal use, though sites with near-continuous or high-volume demand would be better served by a larger-capacity unit.

From an operational standpoint, the HydroBoil Classic offers a number of practical advantages over traditional kettles or standalone urns:

• Instant boiling water on demand, with no re-boiling or monitoring required
• Wall-mounted installation keeps worktops clear and uncluttered
• External two-way tap with fingertip control for quick cup filling
• Tap locks on for hands-free filling of pots or larger vessels
• Enamelled steel body is straightforward to wipe down and keep clean

Installation requires a mains cold water connection and a suitable electrical supply — both should be handled by qualified tradespeople. The wall mounting needs a sound, load-bearing surface with adequate clearance below the tap for comfortable dispensing. The compact dimensions mean it will fit neatly into most service areas without significantly disrupting the existing layout.

This unit is well suited to lower-volume commercial sites and welfare facilities where reliable access to boiling water is important but demand is moderate. For larger operations or high-footfall catering environments where throughput requirements are greater, a higher-capacity model would be a more appropriate choice.

If you are working out whether the 5-litre capacity is the right fit for your site's daily demand, we are happy to talk it through before you place an order.

The Zip HydroBoil Classic is a compact, wall-mounted unit that delivers a continuous supply of near-boiling water on demand. Rather than cycling through a kettle, it maintains a ready supply at a consistent output temperature throughout the day, making it a practical choice for environments where hot drinks or instant food preparation are a regular but moderate requirement.

In use, the unit performs reliably in settings where demand is steady rather than intense. A staffroom serving a shift workforce, a small café drinks counter, a care home beverage station, or a hospitality suite are all realistic applications. The two-way tap locks open for hands-free filling of larger vessels, which reduces handling during a busy service window. The enamelled steel housing is straightforward to wipe down and holds up well to the daily cleaning routines common in commercial and semi-commercial environments.

The practical advantages for operators in these settings include:

• On-demand hot water eliminates kettle wait times throughout the day
• Wall-mounted installation keeps worktop space clear for other tasks
• Locks-open tap allows hands-free filling of carafes or larger containers
• Consistent output temperature removes the variability of repeated kettle boiling
• Enamelled steel housing is durable and easy to clean between services

Installation requires a mains cold water feed and a suitable electrical supply. The unit is wall-mounted, so adequate fixings and proximity to both plumbing and electrical connections are important to confirm before ordering. At 7.8kg it is manageable to position, but fitting should be carried out by a qualified plumber and electrician to meet compliance requirements.

This model is well suited to low-to-moderate demand environments — offices, small hospitality operations, care homes, and front-of-house drinks stations where hot water is needed throughout the day at a measured pace. It is not intended to support rapid, high-volume output in a busy production kitchen. Where a site requires greater throughput or longer sustained service periods, a higher-capacity unit would be worth considering.

If you would like to talk through whether this capacity is the right fit for your operation, we are glad to help before you place an order.

The Buffalo 10 Litre Auto Fill Water Boiler is a countertop unit that connects directly to a mains cold water supply and maintains a constant reservoir of hot water for tea, coffee, and general hot beverage service. Because it refills automatically, there is no need for staff to monitor water levels or top the unit up manually during service — it simply stays ready throughout the day.

In practice, this boiler suits operations with a steady, consistent draw rather than sudden high-volume bursts. A small café, hotel breakfast counter, or staffed hospitality point will find it keeps pace comfortably, providing reliable hot water without requiring much attention from staff. The adjustable temperature output allows operators to dial in the right setting for their preferred brew temperature or to work alongside a filtered water system.

From an operational standpoint, the key day-to-day advantages are:

• Auto-fill connection removes manual intervention during busy service periods
• Adjustable temperature output suits different beverages and filtration setups
• Filter life indicator on the control panel prompts maintenance before it affects water quality
• Removable drip tray keeps the countertop clean and is straightforward to empty and rinse
• Stainless steel construction handles the demands of a commercial environment without deteriorating quickly

Installation needs a mains cold water connection and a standard 13A power supply. The unit should be positioned on a stable, level surface with easy access to both a water feed and a nearby drain or waste point for the drip tray. At 13kg it is straightforward to place and reposition if the counter layout changes. It is worth being honest that the output capacity suits light to moderate demand — for larger sites with high peak draw, such as banqueting operations or busy quick-service counters, a higher-output unit would be worth considering.

This boiler is most commonly used in small cafés, hotel reception and breakfast areas, staff canteens, and office catering points where consistent hot water availability matters more than very high throughput. It is less suitable for sites that experience sharp spikes in demand across a short service window.

If you would like to talk through whether the output matches your service volumes, or have questions about the water supply requirements, our team is glad to help you work it out before you commit.

The Bravilor HWA 14D is a mains-fed, auto-fill hot water boiler designed for continuous hot beverage service in commercial environments. It connects directly to the cold water supply and maintains a ready volume of heated water without any manual refilling. Two programmable push-button controls allow preset portion dispensing, with a free-flow option for larger vessels such as teapots or catering jugs. The result is a unit that can support steady front-of-house or back-of-house service with minimal operator involvement.

In practice, the auto-fill design makes this unit well suited to sites where demand is consistent but not always predictable. Hotel breakfast service, café counters, staff canteens, and hospitality suites are typical settings where this kind of boiler earns its place. Recovery between draws is reliable, keeping water at temperature during sustained service without significant lag. One practical point worth noting: the tap height is relatively modest, which suits standard cups and mugs dispensed directly beneath the tap. If your service regularly involves tall travel cups or filling from below into larger vessels, it is worth checking that clearance works for your setup before installation.

Key operational advantages include:

• Programmable portion buttons reduce over-dispensing and support consistent service
• Auto-fill eliminates manual top-up, freeing staff attention during busy periods
• Free-flow mode gives flexibility for teapots, larger mugs, or catering jugs
• Compact steel-bodied construction suits counter use in tighter service areas
• Mains-fed supply means no reliance on staff remembering to refill

Installation requires a mains cold water connection and a 13A electrical supply. As a countertop unit, plumbing access beneath or beside the counter will be needed, and it is worth confirming the inlet and overflow connections can be properly routed before the unit goes into service. At 10kg, positioning and connecting the unit is straightforward for a competent installer.

The HWA 14D is a practical choice for small to medium volume sites — cafés, offices, hotel breakfast areas, and similar front-of-house service points where steady but moderate hot water demand is the norm. For higher-volume or larger-scale operations, a unit with greater capacity may be more appropriate. Equally, if demand is low or intermittent, a smaller model in the same range may be more economical to run.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your service volume or want to check the plumbing requirements before committing, the team is happy to work through the details with you.

This is a compact, plumbed-in automatic fill water boiler designed for low to moderate hot drinks demand. Unlike a manual-fill urn or countertop kettle, it connects directly to a mains cold water supply and refills itself continuously, maintaining a ready supply of near-boiling water without any staff intervention. The 8 litre capacity and slim 185mm-wide footprint make it a practical option where counter space is tight and demand is steady rather than intensive.

In day-to-day use, this boiler suits environments where hot drinks are served at a consistent but manageable pace throughout the day. A small independent café with a modest lunchtime trade, a workplace kitchen, a reception servery, or a meeting room point-of-service are all realistic fits. The output is sufficient for these settings, though operators expecting sustained high-volume demand — a busy staff canteen or large hospitality operation — may find throughput limiting during peak periods and should consider a higher-capacity unit.

The practical advantages for these environments are clear:

• Automatic refill removes the need for staff to monitor or top up water levels
• Slim profile makes it workable in tight counter runs or compact servery areas
• Simple front controls keep operation accessible for all staff
• Stainless steel construction supports a straightforward cleaning routine
• Constant availability of hot water reduces wait times during service

Installation requires a direct cold mains water connection and a standard 13A power supply. The auto fill function depends entirely on a plumbed water feed — this unit is not suitable for locations without plumbing access. In medium to hard water areas, fitting an inline scale filter and following a regular descaling routine is strongly advisable; scale accumulation will reduce both heating performance and the working life of the unit. At 7kg it handles without specialist equipment, but the water connection should be made by a competent plumber.

This boiler is well suited to lower-volume sites where a compact footprint and reliable self-sufficiency matter more than high throughput. For sites with larger teams to cater for or more demanding service patterns, a higher-capacity model would be worth discussing before committing.

If you are weighing up whether the output will match your service pattern, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Bravilor HWA 6D is a mains-fed, auto-fill hot water boiler designed for continuous beverage service in commercial settings. It draws directly from a plumbed cold water supply to keep the reservoir topped up automatically, removing the need for manual filling and reducing the risk of running dry during busy service. Two programmable push-button controls allow operators to set repeatable portion sizes for different vessel types, with a free-flow option available for larger mugs or bulk dispensing.

In practice, this type of boiler suits operations where hot water demand is steady and predictable throughout the day. Hotel breakfast buffets, café counters, staff canteens, and front-of-house beverage stations are all common environments where the auto-fill function earns its keep — particularly when staff are managing multiple tasks simultaneously and cannot monitor water levels manually. The tap height comfortably accommodates standard cups and mugs without awkward positioning.

Key operational advantages include:

• Programmable portion buttons reduce waste and support consistent, repeatable service
• Auto-fill eliminates manual top-up during service periods
• Free-flow option suits larger vessels or catering-volume dispensing
• Compact steel construction suits counter or shelf installation where space is limited
• Portion control helps manage costs across high-volume beverage service

Installation requires a mains cold water connection and an appropriate electrical supply. The unit should be positioned with sufficient clearance at the rear for the water feed and to allow routine descaling access. In hard water areas, regular descaling will be necessary to protect the heating element and maintain consistent performance — the frequency will depend on local water hardness, so it is worth factoring this into a maintenance routine from the outset.

The HWA 6D is well suited to small and medium operations with consistent hot water demand across a single service point. Sites with significantly higher throughput, multiple dispensing points, or extended service periods may find a larger-capacity model better matched to their needs. Where a plumbed connection is not practical, a manually filled alternative may be a more straightforward fit.

If you would like to talk through whether this model suits your service setup, the team is glad to help before you make a decision.

The Buffalo 10 Litre Auto Fill Filtration Water Boiler is a countertop hot water unit that connects directly to a mains cold water supply and refills automatically to maintain a consistent output throughout the service period. Unlike manually filled urns, it removes the need for operator intervention to keep the vessel topped up, which makes it a practical option for busy periods where attention is elsewhere.

In a working kitchen or service environment, the unit is well suited to steady, ongoing demand rather than short, intense bursts. A café running through a morning service, a hotel breakfast operation, or a staff canteen will typically find the output keeps pace without significant waiting time between draws. The 3kW heating element supports consistent recovery, and the adjustable temperature setting means the unit can be configured for the intended use — whether that is hot drinks service or general hot water provision.

From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages are worth noting:

• Automatic fill removes a routine manual task and reduces the risk of the unit running dry during service
• Built-in filtration helps protect internal components from scale, which matters particularly in hard water areas
• Adjustable temperature and a choice of controllable or constant flow suits different service styles
• Stainless steel construction is easy to wipe down, and the removable drip tray simplifies daily cleaning
• Compact countertop footprint fits most service counters and back-of-house areas

Installation requires a mains cold water connection and a standard 13A power supply. Allow adequate clearance around the unit for safe access to the tap and drip tray, and ensure the surface can comfortably support the weight of a full unit. No specialist lifting is needed to position it.

This boiler is a sound choice for lower-to-mid volume operations where a plumbed, self-maintaining hot water supply is needed without the footprint or cost of a larger capacity unit. For higher-volume sites with sustained peak demand across multiple service points, a heavier-duty model with greater hourly output is likely to be more appropriate.

If you are weighing up whether the output suits your expected demand, or have questions about the water supply requirements on your site, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Buffalo Slimline Auto Fill Water Boiler is a compact, plumbed-in hot water unit designed for continuous use in commercial catering environments. It connects directly to a mains water supply, refilling automatically to maintain a consistent supply of filtered hot water without any manual intervention from staff.

For a 10-litre unit, the throughput is respectable — capable of dispensing up to 30 litres of hot water per hour, which is sufficient to support a steady flow of hot drinks service in cafés, hotel breakfast operations, office canteens, and similar settings. The auto-fill function means the boiler is always ready, removing the downtime associated with manual-fill kettles and reducing the risk of a dry boil during a busy period.

The narrow 178mm footprint is the defining practical feature here. On a tight counter, that width genuinely makes a difference, and the stainless steel construction holds up well to the knocks and cleaning routines of a working kitchen. The drip-free tap keeps the area underneath tidy and reduces slip risk at the point of service.

• Auto-fill operation removes the need for manual refilling during service
• Filtered water output protects the unit and improves drink quality
• Narrow profile frees up valuable counter space without sacrificing capacity
• Stainless steel body stands up to daily commercial use and routine cleaning
• Consistent hot water supply supports uninterrupted drinks service

Installation requires a mains cold water connection and a suitable electrical supply. Positioning near an existing water feed will simplify fitting. For sites with harder water, a scale filter or softener is worth considering to protect the element and maintain efficiency over time.

This unit is well suited to lower-to-medium volume operations — a busy café or high-footfall canteen turning over large quantities of hot drinks continuously may find the output limiting at peak times, in which case a higher-capacity boiler would be worth considering.

If you're unsure whether this model will keep pace with your service, we're happy to talk through your requirements before you order.

The Bravilor HWA 12 is a countertop hot water boiler built for commercial beverage service. It holds 12 litres and is available in either manual fill or fixed auto-fill configuration, making it practical for both permanent counter installations and temporary or event-based setups where a fixed water connection is not available. The double-walled stainless steel vessel retains heat efficiently, holding water at serving temperature without continuous energy draw.

In a working service environment, the HWA 12 suits tea and hot beverage stations, hotel breakfast counters, hospitality buffet points, and office catering areas where a reliable supply of near-boiling water is needed across a shift. The orange temperature button brings water directly to boiling point on demand — useful when service volume picks up quickly. During quieter periods, the built-in ECO function reduces the active volume, cutting unnecessary energy use when full capacity is not required. This variable-demand behaviour is genuinely practical for sites where footfall is uneven across the day.

• ECO mode reduces active volume during low-demand periods, lowering energy consumption
• Manual fill configuration requires no plumbing — suitable for off-site or event use
• Auto-fill mode connects to a fixed cold water supply for hands-free operation
• Double-walled vessel minimises heat loss between service periods
• Straightforward to descale and maintain as part of routine cleaning schedules

For the manual fill version, no plumbing work is required at all. The auto-fill configuration needs a standard cold water connection, so it is worth confirming access to a suitable supply point before installation. The unit runs from a standard 13A socket, though placement relative to an appropriate outlet should be checked during planning.

The HWA 12 is a sensible fit for cafés, hotel breakfast services, staff catering points, and similar environments with moderate, variable hot water demand. It is not intended for continuous high-throughput production use. For sites with significantly higher or sustained demand, a larger-capacity boiler would be a more appropriate choice.

If you would like to talk through whether the HWA 12 is the right match for your service volume or installation setup, the team is happy to help.

This is a plumbed-in, auto-fill water boiler designed to provide a continuous supply of near-boiling water for high-volume hot drink service. The tank refills automatically from mains water, so there is no manual topping up between rounds. Twin dispensing taps allow two drinks to be poured simultaneously, which helps keep queues moving at peak times. Water is dispensed at 95°C, which is suitable for consistent tea and coffee brewing throughout the day.

In busy service environments — canteen breakfast runs, staff restaurant lunch peaks, hotel morning service — the ability to draw hot water continuously without waiting for a manual boiler to recover makes a practical difference to throughput. The auto-fill mechanism keeps the tank level maintained, and the output capacity means it can sustain steady demand across a full service period without the unit struggling to keep pace.

From an operational standpoint, this boiler offers several day-to-day advantages:

• Twin taps reduce bottlenecks when multiple drinks are needed at once
• Stainless steel body and chamber are straightforward to wipe down and keep hygienic
• The 316 stainless steel heating element offers good corrosion resistance in hard-water areas
• Overflow and overload safety systems support unattended operation during busy service
• An optional inline filter can be added to improve water taste if water quality is a concern

Installation requires a mains cold water connection and an appropriate electrical supply. The unit is designed for counter or shelf mounting, so bench space and proximity to a water feed will need to be factored in before positioning. It is worth confirming that your water pressure falls within the operating requirements before installation.

This boiler is well suited to medium-volume sites — busy cafés, staff canteens, hotel breakfast areas, and similar operations where a reliable, hands-off source of hot water is needed throughout the day. For very high-footfall environments running extended service periods, it is worth considering whether a larger-capacity unit would better match demand. For smaller or lower-frequency operations, a non-plumbed manual-fill boiler may be more practical.

If you are unsure whether the capacity suits your expected service volume, or have questions about the installation requirements, we are happy to talk it through before you order.

The Bravilor Eco HWA 3 is a compact countertop hot water boiler designed for consistent, on-demand dispensing in light to moderate commercial service settings. With a 3-litre capacity and a free-flow manual tap, it allows operators to dispense precisely the volume required — whether filling a single cup, a large mug, or a cafetière — without buttons, timers, or programmable controls. It is available in either manual-fill or auto-fill configuration, giving flexibility to match the unit to the site's plumbing setup and preferred service style.

In practice, the HWA 3 is best suited to quieter service environments where hot water demand is steady rather than intensive. Small cafés, hospitality suites, serviced office kitchens, and breakout areas are the natural fit. The heating element maintains water at serving temperature throughout a shift, but operators should be realistic about throughput: at 3 litres, this unit is not designed for high-volume simultaneous service, and recovery time after a significant draw-off is worth factoring in during busier periods.

Practical advantages of the HWA 3 include:

• Free-flow tap allows precise dispensing into any vessel without measuring
• Manual or auto-fill options suit both plumbed and unplumbed installations
• Compact steel construction fits neatly on a counter with limited surface space
• Simple operation reduces the need for staff training
• Consistent water temperature maintained reliably across a full service period

Installation is straightforward. The auto-fill version requires a cold water supply connection; the manual-fill variant needs only a standard power socket. At 8kg with a modest footprint, it sits comfortably on most counters without specialist installation work, and the steel housing is practical to wipe down and maintain during service.

For sites with consistently higher demand — busier cafés, staff canteens, or multi-station service areas — a higher-capacity model in the range is likely to be the more appropriate choice. The HWA 3 is best considered where reliability and simplicity matter more than volume.

If you are weighing up whether the HWA 3 is the right fit for your service style or plumbing setup, our team is happy to talk it through before you place an order.

The Bravilor Eco HWA 14 is a countertop hot water boiler designed for continuous hot water dispensing in commercial beverage service. Built by Bravilor Bonamat in a compact steel housing, it holds just over 13 litres and is available with either manual or automatic fill, making it straightforward to fit into most counter configurations regardless of whether a plumbed supply is available at the point of use.

In service, the unit performs well under steady, moderate-volume demand. It is commonly used during hotel breakfast service, across café counters, and at staffed hospitality points where hot water for tea, infusions, and catering pourers is required consistently throughout the day. The free-flow tap allows operators to dispense exactly the volume needed without being constrained by a fixed portion size, which keeps service moving across different cup and vessel sizes. Recovery is handled reliably under typical continuous draw-off, and the unit maintains consistent water temperature throughout service periods.

Practical advantages for day-to-day operation include:

• Free-flow tap dispenses any volume cleanly, reducing waste and overfill
• Manual or auto fill options suit both plumbed and non-plumbed counter positions
• Compact steel housing fits within standard counter footprints without consuming significant workspace
• Consistent water temperature supports quality and repeatability across beverage service
• Simple construction keeps routine descaling and maintenance straightforward

Installation is uncomplicated. The unit runs from a standard mains electrical connection and has no gas or ventilation requirements. If the auto fill variant is selected, a plumbed cold water supply will be needed at the counter position. At 10kg, it is easily repositioned if the counter layout changes. It is worth noting that for very high-volume sites — large banqueting operations or high-throughput canteens drawing heavily and continuously — a higher-capacity boiler would be a more appropriate choice.

The HWA 14 is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast and lounge areas, smaller staff restaurants, and hospitality counters where reliable hot water availability matters but demand is steady rather than extreme. For sites with lighter, less frequent requirements, a smaller-capacity model in the same range may be sufficient and more economical to run.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right match for your expected service volume or counter setup, the team is glad to help before you decide.
