ctsp17t specification sheetProduct Description
The Instanta CTSP17T is a countertop auto-fill water boiler that connects directly to a mains cold water supply and maintains a ready supply of hot water throughout service without any manual refilling. Built-in filtration treats incoming water before it reaches the tank, helping to manage scale and keep water quality consistent over time. With twin dispensing taps, two members of staff can draw hot water simultaneously, which matters most during concentrated service periods when demand clusters around the same few minutes.
In a working kitchen or servery environment, the practical difference made by twin taps becomes clear at breakfast service, mid-morning breaks, or busy lunch periods. The unit also includes an ECO mode that reduces energy draw during quieter periods, and a programmable timer lets operators align the boiler's active hours with their service schedule so it is not running unnecessarily between shifts. A built-in filter monitor prompts staff when the cartridge is due for replacement, which supports both water quality and the long-term condition of internal components.
The main operational advantages include:
- Auto-fill operation removes the manual refill burden during service
- Twin taps allow simultaneous draws, reducing queuing at peak times
- Integral filtration helps protect against scale and maintain water quality
- ECO mode and programmable timer support lower running costs across the week
- Removable stainless steel drip tray is easy to lift out and clean
Installation requires a mains cold water connection and a standard 13-amp socket nearby. It is worth confirming before installation that both a suitable water supply point and a drainage arrangement are accessible at the intended position. The countertop footprint is compact enough for servery counters, cafeteria positions, and back-of-house areas where worktop space is limited.
This boiler is well suited to cafés, staff canteens, hotel breakfast operations, schools, and similar sites with steady but not exceptionally high continuous demand. For sites running multiple service points simultaneously or drawing high volumes across an extended working day, a larger-capacity or higher-output model would be worth considering.
If you would like to talk through whether this capacity suits your service pattern, or have questions about the water connection arrangements, the team is happy to help before you commit to an order.

ctsp17t specification sheetFrequently Asked Questions
- For a café or canteen with steady but moderate hot water demand — such as a school, small staff canteen, or café with a single service counter — a 17-litre auto-fill boiler generally performs well, since the mains-fed operation means the tank replenishes continuously rather than relying solely on stored volume. Where you are running several service points simultaneously or drawing very high volumes across a long unbroken service period, it would be worth discussing a higher-capacity model with us before ordering.
- The CTSP17T runs from a standard 13-amp plug socket, so there is no requirement for a dedicated electrical circuit. The key installation consideration is having a mains cold water supply point accessible close to the intended position, along with a drainage arrangement for the drip tray and any overflow. It is worth confirming both are in place before the unit arrives on site.
- Replacement frequency depends on your local water hardness and daily usage volume, but the built-in filter monitor takes the guesswork out of this by prompting staff when a change is due. Keeping the filtration current is worthwhile both for maintaining consistent water quality in beverages and for protecting the internal components of the boiler from scale build-up over time.
