Auto Fill Water Boilers

The Bravilor Eco HWA 21 is a countertop hot water boiler designed for continuous dispensing in commercial environments. It holds just over 20 litres of heated water and is fitted with a free-flow manual tap, allowing operators to dispense directly into cups, mugs, jugs, or decanters without portion controls or automatic triggers. The three-phase electrical supply makes it suitable for sites where three-phase power is already available and where reliable recovery under sustained demand is a practical priority.

In a busy service environment, a unit like this justifies its place when hot water demand is consistent rather than occasional. High-turnover breakfast service, staffed beverage stations, or front-of-house tea service where a kettle simply cannot keep pace are all natural fits. The 20-litre capacity supports a meaningful run of drinks before recovery becomes a consideration, and the free-flow tap gives staff quick, uninterrupted access without waiting on a metered cycle.

From an operational standpoint, the manual tap design is straightforward to use and clean. There are no complex programmes or touchscreens to maintain, which generally means fewer faults and less staff training time. Key practical advantages include:

• Free-flow dispensing accommodates variable vessel sizes without reconfiguration
• Steel construction handles the wear and pace of a busy service counter
• Simple tap mechanism reduces maintenance complexity and training overhead
• Countertop footprint keeps the unit accessible without requiring dedicated floor space
• Three-phase supply supports rapid recovery between high-demand service periods

The unit requires a three-phase electrical supply — it is not compatible with a standard single-phase socket — so it is worth confirming your available supply before ordering. It connects via a three-quarter inch water inlet and can be used with or without a direct mains connection depending on your setup. The countertop footprint is worth measuring against your available workspace, particularly where the unit sits alongside other equipment on a service counter.

The HWA 21 is well suited to hotels, staff canteens, cafés, and event catering operations where a reliable, uncomplicated hot water supply is needed at volume. For smaller operations with lighter or less frequent demand, a lower-capacity single-phase model is likely a more proportionate choice. For very high-volume sites running extended service periods, it is worth considering whether a larger or plumbed-through unit would better match the throughput required.

If you would like to talk through whether the HWA 21 is the right match for your service volume or electrical setup, the team is happy to help you work it out before you commit.

The Bravilor Eco HWA 21 is a plumbed or tank-fill hot water boiler designed for continuous dispensing in commercial service environments. Built around a manual free-flow tap, it allows staff to draw off precisely the volume required — whether filling a single cup, a large mug, a teapot, or a catering decanter — without being locked into a fixed portion size. It runs on a single phase supply, which keeps the installation straightforward for the majority of commercial premises.

With just over 20 litres of stored capacity, the HWA 21 handles sustained demand without staff waiting on full recovery between each draw. During breakfast service, a lunch rush, or any period where hot water is needed consistently, the stored volume provides a practical buffer that keeps service moving. It is designed for sites where simplicity and reliability at the point of use matter more than fully automated or touchscreen-controlled dispensing.

From an operational standpoint, the HWA 21 offers several practical advantages:

• Free-flow tap dispenses any volume without fixed portion constraints
• Operates plumbed to mains or via manual fill where a water connection is unavailable
• Steel construction stands up to regular daily use in commercial environments
• Compact counter footprint suits cafés, canteens, and hospitality service areas
• Single phase supply avoids the need for specialist electrical provision on most sites

Installation requires a suitable single phase electrical supply and, where plumbing directly, a 3/4 inch mains water connection. The tank-fill option gives some flexibility in placement where a permanent water feed is not available. At 12kg, the unit is manageable for counter positioning, though the location should allow comfortable and safe access to the tap during busy periods. Consider access for routine descaling, which is a routine maintenance task in areas with hard water.

The HWA 21 is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, staff canteens, hospitality back-of-house areas, and similar settings with moderate but steady hot water demand. Where a site runs multiple service points simultaneously or operates at significantly higher throughput, a higher-capacity model within the range may be worth considering.

If you would like to talk through whether the HWA 21 fits your service volumes and site setup, the team is glad to help before you go ahead.

The Bravilor HWA 8 is a countertop hot water boiler designed to provide a consistent, on-demand supply of hot water in commercial and hospitality environments. Built around a double-walled stainless steel vessel, it can be configured for either manual fill or plumbed auto-fill operation, which gives it reasonable flexibility across different service settings.

In practice, the HWA 8 is suited to moderate-volume service points rather than high-throughput catering lines. The insulated double-walled construction retains heat between draws, reducing the energy needed to maintain temperature across quieter periods. The ECO function addresses this further by reducing the active heated volume during low-demand periods, so the unit is not continuously heating water that is not required. When demand picks up, the boost function brings the water back to boiling point quickly, giving staff a simple and intuitive control without unnecessary complexity.

From an operational standpoint, the HWA 8 offers a number of practical advantages:

• ECO mode reduces energy consumption during quieter service periods
• Manual fill with integrated handles makes the unit practical for event or mobile catering use
• Auto-fill mode supports a permanent plumbed counter installation with no manual intervention
• Double-walled insulation maintains serving temperature between draws
• Designed with straightforward access for routine descaling and maintenance

Installation is straightforward in either configuration. In manual fill mode, only a standard power connection is needed — no plumbing — which makes the HWA 8 a practical option for temporary setups, event catering, or locations where a water supply is not readily accessible at the counter. In auto-fill mode, a cold mains water feed is required. At 10kg, the unit is manageable on a counter, though it is worth confirming that the surface can take the loaded weight. Ventilation demands are minimal compared with larger boiling water equipment.

The HWA 8 is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast stations, staff canteens, and hospitality service points where reliable hot water is needed without the footprint or output of a larger boiler. If your operation runs at higher volume, requires continuous draw throughout a full service, or serves a large number of covers, a higher-capacity model would be worth exploring.

If you are weighing up whether the HWA 8 fits your setup, or whether a different capacity would serve you better, the team is glad to talk it through before you decide.

The Bunn H5 is a countertop hot water boiler built for continuous commercial use. It delivers a reliable supply of hot water on demand, making it a practical choice for beverage stations, instant soups, noodle bars, and any front- or back-of-house setup where consistent hot water availability is a working requirement rather than a convenience.

In service, the H5 earns its place through steady, repeatable performance. It is designed to cope with the kind of sustained demand that characterises busy cafés, hotel breakfast service, staff canteens, and fast-turnaround food operations — environments where running out of hot water, even briefly, has a direct effect on service flow. The stainless steel construction handles the daily rigours of a commercial kitchen without the corrosion and wear concerns associated with lesser materials.

From an operational standpoint, the H5 offers a number of practical advantages:

• Ready supply of hot water without repeated boiling cycles slowing service
• Stainless steel body is straightforward to wipe down and keep hygienic
• Compact footprint fits comfortably on a counter or beverage station
• User-friendly controls keep operation simple for all staff
• Direct connection reduces reliance on manual refilling

The H5 is a direct-feed unit, so it will require a mains cold water connection and an appropriate electrical supply. It draws between 3.4kW and 3.8kW, so the electrical circuit serving it needs to be rated accordingly — worth confirming with your site electrician before installation. At just over 15kg, it is manageable to position, though the plumbing connection means placement should be planned before commissioning.

This unit is well suited to small to medium volume operations that need a dependable hot water source without occupying significant counter space. For very high-throughput sites — large hotel operations or high-volume catering — a higher-capacity unit may be worth considering to keep pace with peak demand.

If you are unsure whether the H5 is the right fit for your service volumes or installation setup, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Zip HydroTap G5 Classic Plus is a mains-fed, under-counter filtered water system that delivers instant boiling, chilled, and sparkling water from a single tap. It is designed for workplaces and commercial environments where a consistent, high-quality drinking water supply is needed throughout the day — removing the need for kettles, standalone water coolers, or bottled water services.

In practice, the G5 Classic Plus handles sustained daily demand well. It can serve a busy office, staff restaurant, or front-of-house refreshment area through peak periods without significant waiting. Filtration to 0.2 micron removes sediment, chlorine taste, and fine particulates, which makes a noticeable difference to water quality in areas supplied by hard or heavily treated mains water. The sparkling function adds useful versatility for hospitality settings where both still and sparkling options are expected as a matter of course.

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

• Instant boiling, chilled, and sparkling water from one point of use
• No splashing or spitting during boiling water dispensing, reducing burn risk
• Built-in safety activation for boiling water, appropriate for mixed-use environments
• Cool-to-touch tap body throughout operation
• 0.2 micron filtration for consistently clean-tasting water across the day

Installation requires a mains cold water connection and a suitable electrical supply. The under-counter command centre needs adequate cabinet space, and at 39kg the unit demands a structurally sound cupboard with clear access for servicing and filter changes. Plumbing should be carried out by a qualified professional. This is not a plug-and-play product, and proper commissioning at the outset makes a material difference to long-term reliability. Routine filter cartridge replacement is an ongoing maintenance requirement that should be factored into site planning.

The Classic Plus is a practical choice for offices, hotel back-of-house areas, staff facilities, and hospitality venues with a consistent but moderate demand for filtered drinking water. For higher-volume sites or locations requiring multiple points of use, a higher-capacity model within the HydroTap range is likely to be a better fit.

If you have questions about whether this unit is correctly sized for your expected usage, or want to talk through the installation requirements for your specific site, our team is glad to help you work that out before you go ahead.

The Zip HydroTap G5 Classic Plus is an under-counter filtered water system that delivers instant boiling and chilled water through a single tap. It replaces kettles and standalone water coolers with a compact, continuous-supply unit designed for commercial and workplace settings where filtered drinking water is needed reliably throughout the day.

In day-to-day use, the unit handles steady demand across a full working day without notable drop-off in either boiling or chilled output. The boiling function is well suited to environments with regular hot drink preparation — staff canteens, hotel back-of-house areas, corporate break rooms, and hospitality service points. The chilled output maintains a consistent temperature even during periods of frequent use, and the filtration system removes particulates to a level that makes a genuine difference to taste and clarity, particularly in hard water areas.

From an operational standpoint, the Classic Plus offers several practical day-to-day advantages:

• Instant boiling and chilled output removes kettle wait times and frees up staff
• Filtered water reduces limescale build-up in downstream equipment such as coffee machines
• Cool-touch spout and safety activation reduces burn risk in busy service environments
• Controlled dispensing minimises splashing and keeps counters cleaner during service
• Single tap and compact under-counter unit simplifies bench layout and installation

Installation requires a mains cold water connection, a drain connection, and a suitable electrical supply. The under-counter command unit requires adequate cabinet space and, at 28kg, should be factored into cabinet loading calculations during fit-out planning. Incoming water pressure and filtration compatibility are worth confirming with your plumber before installation, particularly in areas with high limescale or sediment levels where filter replacement intervals may be shorter than average.

The Classic Plus is well suited to medium-sized workplace environments, hospitality venues, and food service operations where boiling and chilled filtered water is a genuine all-day requirement. For very high-footfall sites with continuous heavy demand, it is worth considering whether a higher-output model would better match the site's usage profile.

If you would like to talk through whether this model suits your site's demand or installation setup, the team is glad to help before you commit to an order.

The Zip HydroTap G5 Classic Plus is an under-counter filtered water system that delivers instant boiling and chilled water from a single tap point. The filtration and temperature control unit sits in a compact under-counter housing, keeping the worktop free, while the tap itself — finished in bright chrome over a brass construction — presents neatly in professional and client-facing environments.

In practice, eliminating the kettle and chilled jug from the workflow makes a genuine difference during busy periods. Staff can draw boiling or filtered chilled water on demand throughout the day without waiting, and the system is built to handle sustained use without performance drop-off. The filtered output is consistent, which matters in areas where water quality affects the taste of hot drinks or the experience of guests.

The main operational advantages worth noting are:

• Instant boiling and chilled water from one tap, reducing equipment on the worktop
• 0.2 micron filtration removes impurities that affect taste and water quality
• Cool-touch spout and built-in safety modes reduce scalding risk in shared spaces
• Smooth, controlled dispense — no splashing near workstations or service counters
• Energy-saving modes help manage running costs during quieter periods

Installation requires a mains cold water connection and an electrical supply to the under-counter unit. The command centre weighs 28kg, so the cupboard structure needs to be adequate, and access for routine servicing and filter cartridge replacement should be considered at the planning stage. Zip offer service plans that cover scheduled maintenance, which is worth factoring in alongside the purchase. The bright chrome finish is worth matching against existing fitments if you are fitting this into an established space.

The Classic Plus suits medium-sized workplaces, hospitality back-of-house areas, staff canteens, and professional environments where filtered water quality and safety are day-to-day priorities. For sites with very high simultaneous demand or larger teams drawing water at peak times, it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity model would be a better fit for your usage pattern.

If you would like to talk through whether this model suits your site, water supply setup, or volume requirements, our team are glad to help before you make a decision.

The Zip HydroTap G5 Classic Plus is an under-counter filtered water system that delivers instant boiling, chilled, and sparkling water from a single tap. The countertop tap connects to an under-counter command centre, replacing the need for a kettle, water cooler, and separate carbonation equipment with one integrated unit. The tap is finished in brass, giving it a solid, considered presence suited to professional and public-facing environments.

In practice, the unit holds up well during sustained demand throughout the working day. The output capacity means busy periods — morning coffee rounds, lunchtime service, or continuous hospitality use — are met without noticeable wait times. The filtration system removes a broad range of contaminants and delivers consistently clean-tasting water regardless of local mains quality, which is a genuine consideration in hospitality, healthcare, and corporate settings where water taste is noticed by staff and guests alike.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages include:

• Instant boiling, chilled, and sparkling water from one outlet — no multiple appliances to manage
• 0.2 micron filtration for consistently clean-tasting water at every draw
• Cool-to-touch tap and two boiling water safety modes reduce burn risk in shared or public spaces
• Spatter-free dispensing reduces spillage and keeps the countertop clean during service
• Compact countertop footprint with all working components housed under the counter

Installation requires a mains cold water connection and an appropriate electrical supply beneath the counter. The command centre is a substantial unit, so the cabinet or under-counter space needs to be structurally sound and properly ventilated. Connection should be carried out by a qualified plumber and electrician. Ongoing filter cartridge replacement is a routine maintenance requirement and should be factored into running costs from the outset.

This model is well suited to offices, hotel lobbies, staff rooms, healthcare reception areas, and similar environments where water demand is consistent throughout the day but does not reach the throughput levels of a high-footfall public catering operation. For sites with significantly higher or more concentrated demand, a higher-output model within the HydroTap range may be a better fit.

If you are working through the installation requirements or want to confirm this unit is the right match for your site's water usage and cabinet space, the team is glad to talk it through with you.

The Bunn H3 is a countertop hot water boiler built for continuous use in commercial environments. It heats and holds a reservoir of water at a consistent temperature, delivering on-demand hot water for tea, instant beverages, soups, and similar applications without the delay associated with heating from cold each time. The stainless steel construction is practical in a kitchen context — it resists corrosion, wipes down easily, and holds up well under the kind of daily use a busy site demands.

In service, the H3 suits operations where staff need reliable access to hot water throughout the day without interruption. It performs well in café, hotel, office catering, and light-to-mid-volume food service settings where a consistent supply of hot water supports smooth workflow. The heated reservoir means there is minimal waiting time between draws, which matters during a breakfast rush or a busy lunch service.

Practical day-to-day advantages include:

• Immediate hot water draw without heating delays during service
• Stainless steel construction resists scale build-up and is straightforward to clean
• Compact footprint suits counter space in tighter prep or servery areas
• Simple operation reduces staff training time
• Consistent output temperature supports repeatable beverage quality

The H3 connects to a mains water supply and requires a standard electrical connection — the element draws between 2.5kW and 3kW, so it is worth confirming your available circuit capacity before installation. It is a direct-water-feed unit, meaning it does not need manual refilling, which makes it more practical than a pour-over boiler in most commercial settings. Ensure adequate counter space and proximity to both a water supply and a suitable socket or spur.

This unit is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, staff canteens, and similar sites with steady but not extreme hot water demand. For very high-volume operations — large-scale banqueting, high-throughput cafeterias — it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity unit would better match the service requirement. Equally, for smaller or intermittent-use environments, a lower-output model may be more appropriate from an energy standpoint.

If you are unsure whether the H3 is the right match for your service volumes or setup, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
