My plumber wanted a Grand to replace an already fitted (but leaking) hot water appliance. After watching this video I decided to buy a new one online for £200 and fit it myself. Took all of 15 minutes. Cheers bud! You saved me £800. Feel like I should get you a pint or something.

Your welcome! Thanks for the pint haha

Absolutely amazing clear instructions, I know I can do it as an amateur when I follow your instructions.. keep up the good work..so far watched every video of yours 10/10

Brilliant. Very clear explanation. Took one hour start to finish after watching video. Did what you suggested and dumped the plastic tap support. Impossible to get that clamp on and as a precaution reinforced it with a cable tie that held the white plastic filter pipe. Thank you again

Thank you! I just installed and plumbed up my new hot water tap myself. I was worried I would have to call my Dad for help, but thankfully it was fairly straight forward.

Awesome! I was in doubt about how to install the plastic tube to the filter and you showed me what I needed to see. Thank you!

I've often thought about the boiler taps and cooker taps. But with those type of plastic sings I thought you would have to have a pot sink? But all your videos are excellent. Learnt so much just by following you !! and watching them.. Thanks for your advice 👍

Exccellent video, thank you. The product instruction page with 4 small pictures was clearly not enough for change of the kitchen tap. I followed the video step by step, and completed the project in no time!

Had the same tap installed for 2 years, I wouldn’t be without it. About an hour to install. Couple of tips if you have a power cut the unit by default turns off so would need to manually turn back on. Defo don’t over tighten the nuts on top or they will leak as explained in video.

I've recently had one of the Quooker taps fitted. I was a bit concerned about the running costs of keeping water constantly available on the boil. After doing some monitoring with it connected to a smart socket I can see that the unit consumes about 210 watts in a 24 hour period when not in use (UK in September, ambient temperature around 19 degrees Celsius). This works out around £23 per year but I reckon that I'll easily save that in energy that hasn't been used when people overfill the kettle.

Very well explained, thanks. What if there's already a water softener system, with carbon filter, installed under sink?

Now I understand! An excellent and clearly presented video. Thanks!

Just installed this today and followed the guide, fantastic and much easier than anticipated. Thanks! One thing to note which may be a slight model update - my water filter fitting on the boiler (blue one) was pre installed however it wasn't tight enough and caused a small leak when turning the water on so would recommend removing and re tightening yourself if yours is the same!

Really nice video, thank you! I’m confident I can install myself now. I’m also installing a plumbed fridge at the same time which will live 4m from the sink. Would it be possible to tee off in the thin white pipe between the filter and the tank to take off to the fridge? This way I could use the filter for the dispenser as well as the tap. Basically what I’m asking is is it pressurised? Thank you! 🙏

I was thinking of getting one of those, and that makes the installation look so simple. What's putting me off now though is I didn't realise they take up so much room in the cupboard under the sink. I have a small kitchen, and storage space is at a premium.

Nice one man saved me lots of money 🎉

Great video. I recently fitted an eBay sourced Etal tap and found a few issues. The ring that sits on the sink didn't fit properly into the tap body. The boiling water tap was very awkward to turn, in that I felt the return mechanism was very strong and button you press quite sharp. Biggest issue was when the boiling water tap was turned off the water continued to flow for 20 seconds. Even after following the troubleshooting procedures. Needless to say it got sent back. Not sure if it was a copy of just a dud.

Great video I’ve not long installed mine but found the push fit into the filter as started leaking, do you know how I can fix this ?would appreciate any info as I’ve looked everywhere for help but can’t find anything. Thanks Tony

I followed the tutorial almost to the letter (a few tweaks to suit the fittings in my kitchen) biggest panic was priming the boiler, 90 seconds felt much, much, much longer! All fantastically straightforward. Thanks for making this chore a breeze. Fancy a cuppa?

hi, i know this question has nothing to do with this video, but what would be the best way to replace taps that has limescale on the backnuts that is connected to plastic piping, i work in a hospital as my new job and most of the piping is plastic, so when going to either fix a leak or change taps trying to get the backnut off is quite difficult as i dont want to crack the plastic piping.

ive got one question i have is can i filter the cold supply to the system. as this tap is replacing a water filter tap. I dont need the tap as a sink filler etc its only for the boiling water and cold drinking water. I assume I can , however my filter for the cold is also the small pu pipe. Ive plenty of pressure, but this would reduce the flow a bit. Assuming the boiler works on pressure and. not dependent on flow i guess im ok ? Basically, i want to use the existing BWT cold water filter going to the existing drinking tap to supply the system. what does everyone think. ?

Thank you!

So, the hot water tap still brings hot water from the house boiler, then reheats it to a boiling temperature? That’s adding expense too, of course. Could this boiler not be fed from the cold tap instead, using a separate third tap at the sink?

See my comment above. These are marketed as a fancy new style of “tap”, or “electric tap”, or “instantaneous water heating tap”. They are nothing of the sort. What they are is a normal tap connected to a small electric water heater, a glorified electric shower. So yes, just boil your kettle, these electric water heaters aren’t cheap and generally you’ll be lucky to get much more than 5-6 years out of them, and that’s in a soft water area. Kettles, cheap as chips and just as effective. Filters are £50 for two, and they need changing latest every 6 months, every 3 if it’s a hard water area etc and they’re getting scaled up. Scale is formed at the hottest point, which is always the boiler, hence the filters. The heater itself isn’t listed as a spare, probably because when it packs up it’d be cheaper just to spend another £300 on the whole lot. And bear in mind, these Bower Palma ones are the dirt cheap end of the market, there’s only so much reliability you can expect. Having said all that, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the principle of an instant water heater for your hot taps, in a smaller property, sink in the kitchen and basin in the bathroom, so one upstairs and one downstairs, but you’ll need the wiring in place already, which no one will have in the bathroom, and most people won’t have below the kitchen sink. So bear that in mind as an extra cost, and Heatrae Sadia are about the best of the bunch. They’re a UK firm, parts are readily available, unlike most of the tap variants. Good luck getting parts and repairing those heaters.

What make is this? Would you recommend this make?
