Is it possible to get 100 degrees boiling water from a tap?

We all know that the boiling point of water is 100°C and at this point it becomes steam.  However, we are often asked is it possible to have 100°C boiling water from a tap? It wouldn’t be much of a cuppa if all we had was a tea bag and a cup of steam so our Billi taps leave our factory set at 98.5 degrees C which is the optimum temperature for brewing a cup of tea.

The Billi hot tap is designed so that there is no temperature decline in periods of high demand so that everyone receives a consistent temperature throughout the working day.  The temperature can be adjusted to meet customer’s requirements.

A Billi system with a drainage font is far safer than using a kettle.  This is because a kettle usually contains over a 1L of boiling water and if this is tipped onto the users hand whilst filling a cup or knocked over onto someone, the damage could be very serious.  When using a Billi tap, the cup can be placed onto the drip tray and the users hand can be kept well out the way whilst the mug is filled with hot water.  Kettles and wall mounted hot water boilers are a concern for safety in the office environment and a Billi tap or counter top Arizona hot water boiler are much safer options.

Splash free technology by electronic control of boiling water delivery ensures user safety. The flow is momentarily slowed as the water exits the dispenser, eliminating splashing as the water enters the cup. All Billi Boiling and Chilled dispensers come with an integrated safety switch. The red lock icon demonstrates when the safety switch is activated, simply press the switch to release the lock and allow full use of boiling water. The system will revert to safety mode after 8 seconds of non-use.

Where space is an issue, you can have a 4 in 1 Billi water tap which has filtered chilled water, hot drinking water, sparkling drinking water and a separate mixing tap for the sink unit.  The system is known as the Billi Quadra Plus and available to lease or purchase outright.  The Billi Quadra range is a great tap that has instant, filtered boiling and chilled water with a range of capacities to suit every office environment. We supply Billi taps to offices in Manchester to London, each with a package tailored to suit their requirements.

Although there are Billi systems capable of producing enough hot water for 100 staff, if this is the sole source of boiling water for your office, we recommend having two smaller boiling chilled water taps installed.  This makes it quicker to fill cups in peak times and also means you have a backup if one system was to break down.  If your Billi tap does break down, please call our service department who will be able to give you advice over the phone and arrange a Billi engineer if necessary.

The versatility of a Billi Tap

It’s not only the boiling aspect to consider when you consider how a Billi Tap could save you money. They are practical and versatile, offering instant boiling, chilled and sparkling water, removing the need to spend money on other appliances like water coolers, since a Billi Tap does the job of a water dispenser and a kettle, which also frees up more space and creating a less cluttered office environment.
