Product Description
The Instanta CTS10PB — also listed as the DB1000 — is a counter top water boiler designed for continuous hot water service in commercial and semi-commercial settings. It holds 10 litres, fills automatically from a mains water connection, and dispenses via a straightforward push button. There are no complex controls and no manual top-up cycle to manage during service.
In practice, this type of boiler suits settings where hot water demand is steady rather than extreme. A café running a consistent flow of teas and filter coffees, a hotel breakfast station, a staff canteen, or a self-service beverage point are all environments where this unit performs reliably day to day. The auto-fill function keeps the boiler replenished and at temperature without staff intervention, which matters in operations where front-of-house teams are managing several tasks at once.
Key operational advantages include:
- Runs from a standard 13-amp socket — no dedicated electrical supply or qualified installation required
- Auto-fill maintains water level without manual top-up during service
- Push button dispensing works well for both staff-operated and self-service beverage points
- Counter top format keeps the unit accessible without taking up floor space
- Simple operation reduces training time for front-of-house or catering staff
Because it runs from a standard plug, installation requirements are minimal. You will need a suitable counter position, a 13-amp socket nearby, and a mains cold water feed — auto-fill models cannot be used as pour-in units. It is worth confirming the water connection with a plumber before installation if you are unsure about your supply arrangement.
This boiler is well suited to lower-to-mid volume sites where ease of use and straightforward installation are priorities. Higher-volume operations — busy restaurants, large hotel functions, or high-throughput catering — may find a larger-capacity or higher-output model more appropriate. At the other end, very low-demand settings such as a small office breakroom may find a more compact unit more economical to run.
If you are weighing up whether this model fits your service volume or setup, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A 10-litre auto-fill boiler is well suited to steady, moderate demand — a small-to-medium café, a breakfast station, or a staff catering point where hot water is needed consistently but not in very high volumes all at once. For operations serving a high volume of hot drinks continuously during peak periods, a larger-capacity or higher-output model is likely to be a more practical fit.
- Auto-fill boilers are designed to connect to a mains cold water supply, which the unit draws from automatically to maintain its water level. They are not configured for manual pour-in use, so a plumbed water connection is required. If a mains feed is not readily available at the intended counter position, it is worth confirming the supply arrangement with a plumber before purchasing.
- No — the CTS10PB runs from a standard 13-amp plug socket, so no dedicated electrical circuit or qualified installation work is needed. You simply need a suitable socket within reach of the counter position where the boiler will sit.
