Product Description
The Instanta CTSBC2810 — also referenced as the CH1000/MK3 — is a countertop unit that provides both boiling and chilled filtered water from a single appliance. It connects to a mains water supply and filters incoming water before dispensing, making it a practical alternative to bottled water arrangements or separate boiler and cooler units in settings where both hot and cold water are needed throughout the day.
In practice, this type of combined unit works well in environments with consistent but moderate demand — staff areas, smaller catering operations, hotel back-of-house, and customer-facing hospitality points where the team needs access to hot water for beverages alongside chilled drinking water. The integrated filtration system means the water dispensed is consistently clean-tasting, which matters where tea and coffee quality is important to the operation.
The practical advantages of running a single combined unit rather than two separate appliances are worth considering:
- One mains connection point rather than two separate installations
- Filtered output reduces reliance on bottled water and associated restocking
- Twin-tap design keeps hot and cold dispensing clear and straightforward for staff
- Non-drip tap design helps keep the dispensing area clean during a busy service
- Countertop footprint makes it suitable for locations with limited floor space
Installation requires a mains cold water connection and a 13-amp plug socket — there is no hardwired electrical requirement, which keeps installation straightforward in most settings. It is worth confirming that a suitable water feed and drain are accessible at the intended location before committing to placement.
This unit is well suited to small to mid-sized operations where a consistent but not exceptionally high volume of hot and chilled water is needed. For sites running very high throughput — large canteens, high-footfall hospitality venues, or operations requiring simultaneous multi-point dispensing — a higher-capacity system is likely to be more appropriate.
If you are weighing up whether this unit fits your volume and installation situation, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- This unit is well matched to small to mid-sized operations with moderate demand — staff kitchens, smaller cafés, hotel back-of-house, and similar environments. If your site runs very high volumes or needs simultaneous dispensing across multiple points during peak service, it would be worth discussing a higher-capacity option with us before purchasing.
- The unit requires a mains cold water feed and a standard 13-amp plug socket — no hardwired electrical connection is needed. You will also need a nearby drain for any overflow. It is worth confirming the water supply and drainage are accessible at your intended location before installation.
- Yes — as with any mains-fed filtered water unit, the filter cartridge will need periodic replacement depending on your water hardness and usage volume. Regular filter changes are important both for taste quality and to protect the internal components from scale build-up, particularly in hard water areas.
