Water Your Way: The benefits of multifunctional kitchen taps
Multifunctional taps really can elevate your kitchen experience, with the latest models doing so much more than just delivering hot and cold water. At Franke we offer you the choice of 3, 4, 5 and 6-in-1 water home solutions, truly giving you ‘water your way’.
In this blog, we’re going to cover the most popular models of 3-in-1 taps which provide instant boiling water alongside hot and cold, plus 4-in-1 which offers the added benefit of cold filtered water. These are available in a choice of mechanical and electronic operation.
Ultra-convenient
Today’s lifestyles seem to be busier than ever and we’re all on the look out for tips that can help us save time. In the kitchen, that might be speedy appliance solutions to make cooking, laundry and dishwashing quicker. And your tap can play its part too.
Multifunctional taps with 3-in-1 functionality instantly deliver steaming water, meaning no more standing around waiting for the kettle to boil when making cups of tea or coffee. With our our Maris Water Hub you’ll effortlessly get instant boiling water as and when you need it simply by turning the tap’s rotatable knob. And it’s not just your hot beverages that will benefit. A multifunctional tap is a game-changer in the kitchen, providing instant boiling water for quick meal prep. You can fill a saucepan with boiling water straight from the tap to cook pasta, couscous, or blanch vegetables in no time. It's also ideal for sanitising babies’ bottles, dummies, and utensils, or whipping up instant ramen. Whether you're prepping food or need quick sterilisation, these taps add speed and convenience to everyday tasks.
Fresh filtered water
Having access to clean drinking water is a privilege that most of us enjoy. But what if you could get fresher, cleaner, filtered water, straight from your tap? Not only would it mean staying hydrated would be tastier, it could also help banish bottled water from your weekly shop and reduce the amount of plastic that you use in the process. With our filtered water taps you can enjoy better tasting, purer and healthier water that is free from harmful germs and other impurities such as chlorine and microplastics from the comfort of your own home.
Our electronic 3-in-1 Maris Water Hub can be transformed into a 4-in-1 tap with our optional filtration kit so it can provide cold filtered water in addition to hot, cold and instant boiling water. As well as ensuring water purity, the premium Pro M Filter also reduces limescale and other contaminants, ultimately safeguarding the tank, while it also stabiliises the good minerals that are naturally in water and important for our health. The tap’s laminar aerator delivers a crystal-clear, non-splashing water stream with minimal noise.
Super-stylish designs
Multifunctional taps come in a range of styles and a variety of finishes. With the trend for matte black sinks and taps showing no sign of slowing down anytime soon, we added a chic matt black finish to our new Maris Water Hub range. It is also available in two other bestselling finishes of Decor Steel and Chrome. Its popular classic J Spout design, with electronic or mechanical controls, adds to its appeal, bringing style to every kitchen from ultra contemporary to more traditional designs.
Energy efficient
& space saving
Soaring household bills have made us all keen to cut down on water and electricity. With a 3-in-1 tap, overfilled kettles that are boiled again and again will be a thing of the past. And because you’ll only ever use as much instant boiling water as you need, you’ll save money and energy. Our Maris Water Hub also benefits from a temperature limiter on the mains hot water lever, giving you greater control, while its stepped design can reduce water waste by up to 50%.
Multifunctional boiling water taps are equipped with a tank, which needs to sit in the cupboard underneath your sink. The tanks come in a variety of sizes, so it is important to check how much space you have before you buy. With our Maris Water Hub electronic, you can take your pick from a compact 4L or 7L stainless steel boiler, which doesn’t take up much room, making it ideal for large and compact kitchens alike.
