ctsp17t specification sheetProduct Description
The Instanta CTSP17T is a countertop auto-fill water boiler with a 17 litre capacity and twin dispensing taps. It connects directly to a mains cold water supply and refills automatically, so hot water remains consistently available throughout service without any manual intervention. Integral filtration is built in as standard, treating incoming water before it enters the tank to help protect against scale and maintain consistent water quality over time.
In practice, the twin-tap arrangement makes a noticeable difference during periods of concentrated demand — breakfast service, mid-morning breaks, or busy lunch periods where several staff members need hot water in quick succession. Two people can draw simultaneously without queuing, which keeps service moving. The unit also includes an ECO mode that reduces energy draw during quieter periods, and a programmable timer allows it to be scheduled around your operation so it is not running unnecessarily outside service hours. A filter monitor gives staff a clear prompt when the cartridge is due for replacement, which matters both for water quality and for protecting the internal components over the long term.
The day-to-day operational advantages include:
- Auto-fill operation removes the manual refill burden from front-of-house or kitchen staff
- Twin taps reduce queuing and speed up hot drinks service at peak times
- Built-in filtration helps protect against scale and supports consistent water quality
- ECO mode and programmable timer help reduce running costs across the working week
- Removable stainless steel drip tray is straightforward to clean and maintain
Installation needs a mains cold water connection nearby and a standard 13-amp plug socket, which keeps the setup practical for most servery or counter positions. Before installation it is worth confirming that a suitable water supply point and a drainage arrangement are accessible close to the intended location. The countertop footprint is compact enough to fit into serveries, cafeteria counters, and back-of-house positions where worktop space is at a premium.
This boiler suits cafés, staff canteens, hotel breakfast operations, schools, and similar sites with steady but not exceptionally high continuous hot water demand. For sites with multiple service points running simultaneously or very high throughput across the full working day, a larger-capacity or higher-output model would be worth considering instead.
If you would like to talk through whether this capacity is the right fit for your service volumes or have questions about the water connection requirements, the team is glad to help before you place an order.

ctsp17t specification sheetFrequently Asked Questions
- For cafés, hotel breakfast operations, and staff canteens with moderate and reasonably steady demand, a 17 litre auto-fill boiler is typically well matched — the continuous mains connection means the tank replenishes as it draws down rather than relying solely on stored volume. Where you are running multiple service points simultaneously or sustaining very high output across a long service period without pause, it would be worth discussing a higher-capacity model with the team before committing.
- The unit requires a mains cold water connection close to the installation point and a standard 13-amp plug socket — there is no need for a dedicated electrical supply or professional electrical installation beyond a suitable socket. You will also need to consider how condensation and any overflow from the drip tray will be managed, so having a drainage point or suitable arrangement nearby is advisable before finalising the position.
- Filter replacement frequency depends on local water hardness and the volume of water processed, but the built-in filter monitor takes the guesswork out of it by prompting staff when a change is due. Keeping on top of filter maintenance is important not just for water quality but for protecting the unit itself — scale build-up over time can affect heating efficiency and shorten the service life of the boiler, so the ongoing filter cost is modest relative to the protection it provides.
