Product Description
The Instanta CTSV50T9 — also referenced as the CT8000-9 — is a 50-litre commercial auto-fill water boiler fitted with twin taps for simultaneous dispensing. It is designed to deliver a continuous supply of hot water throughout a busy service period without manual refilling, drawing directly from a mains water connection and maintaining temperature at volume.
In practice, a 50-litre twin-tap unit of this type is well suited to operations where multiple staff members need access to hot water at the same time — think a hotel breakfast service, a large staff canteen, or a busy contract catering kitchen. The twin-tap configuration reduces queuing at the boiler during peak demand, which has a direct impact on service speed. Recovery is handled automatically through the auto-fill system, so the unit is ready to dispense again without operator intervention.
The operational features that matter most in a commercial environment include:
- Seven-day programmable timer to align heating cycles with actual operating hours
- ECO mode that reduces energy draw during quieter periods without full shutdown
- Built-in diagnostics that flag maintenance requirements before they become service failures
- Stainless steel construction with an integral drip tray for hygiene and durability
- Adjustable temperature settings to suit different applications including tea service, cooking, and cleaning
Being three-phase hardwired, this unit requires a dedicated electrical supply and a mains water connection. It is not a plug-in appliance. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician and plumber, and the available three-phase supply should be confirmed before ordering. The counter-top or stand-mounted footprint suits a servery, back-of-bar, or kitchen pass area, but the weight and water connection mean placement needs to be planned in advance. This is not a unit you relocate frequently once installed.
The CTSV50T9 is best suited to medium-to-large operations with sustained hot water demand throughout the day — hotels, schools, hospitals, contract caterers, and large restaurant or café groups. For smaller operations or single-phase sites, a lower-capacity unit would be more appropriate. For very high-volume or multi-point sites, a larger capacity model may serve better.
If you are unsure whether the capacity, electrical supply, or configuration is right for your site, our team is happy to talk through the options before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- No — the CTSV50T9 requires a three-phase hardwired electrical supply, which must be confirmed on site before ordering. If your premises only has single-phase power available, you would need to look at a lower-capacity model within the Instanta range that is rated for single-phase connection.
- A 50-litre auto-fill unit with twin taps is well matched to operations running continuous hot water demand across a service period — for example, a hotel breakfast service, large staff restaurant, or busy canteen. The auto-fill system means capacity is not limited to a single 50-litre tank; it replenishes and maintains temperature continuously. If your site has multiple service points or unusually high simultaneous demand, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity unit or multiple dispensing points would be more practical.
- This unit needs a dedicated three-phase electrical connection installed by a qualified electrician, along with a mains cold water supply and an appropriate drain or waste connection for the drip tray. It is counter-top or stand-mounted, so the installation position should be planned with access to all three services in mind. We would recommend confirming the electrical supply and water connections are in place before the unit is delivered.
