The new kind water heating technology makes it possible to receive a constant supply of boiling water, which simplifies and speeds up the preparation of many dishes, and brewing tea takes only five seconds.

In the 70s of the last century, a Dutch engineer invented new way constant supply of boiling water from a regular kitchen tap. In the 90s, his sons took up his father’s patented idea and launched mass production of a new type of water heating equipment that saves time and energy.

A new type of water heating equipment

A constant supply of boiling water simplifies and speeds up the preparation of many dishes, and brewing tea takes only five seconds. The heating time to 110° C in a compact tank with a capacity of 3 to 7 liters takes 10-15 minutes, depending on the volume of water. Maintaining a constant temperature occurs at low energy costs and requires only 10 W. Such indicators were achieved thanks to vacuum thermal insulation of a tank under pressure, which was the first time in the world applied to this type of equipment, reports hvoya.wordpress.com.

The block located under the sink is equipped with a filter, so the boiled water is purified. The design of the device eliminates heat loss occurring in the kettle, and the boiling water heated by it is ready for use at any time.

Supplying hot water in close proximity to the place where it is heated reduces its cooling during transportation through the water supply system and is so energy efficient that a new combined type heater was created that supplies not only boiling water to the designated tap, but also hot water at 50-65 ° C into a regular kitchen faucet.

Leading European manufacturers are expanding the capabilities of kitchen faucets, equipping them with functions that are not usually included in basic models. Let's talk about how these devices make everyday work in the kitchen easier.

Faucets with filter

It is no secret that the quality of tap water leaves much to be desired. Therefore, for drinking and cooking, many people use bottled or purified water obtained using a filter mug or a purification system that is installed under the sink. To connect a water filter, you previously had to drill an additional hole in the kitchen sink or countertop and install a second spout. But there is also Alternative option, convenient and aesthetic - the so-called combined mixer, designed to supply both regular and drinking water; most often it is equipped with two outlets-holes on one spout. Structurally combined devices are divided into two types: with their own filters included and with the ability to connect to any water purification systems. And don't forget about.

A faucet with the ability to connect to a filter is installed in almost the same way as conventional kitchen models. The only difference is that you need to additionally connect the mixer to the filter. The cost of the Franke filtration system is RUB 14,400. Trust a specialist to install and connect the system.

Own filtration system. Mixer models with own system water purification kits are offered by Franke, Dornbracht, Grohe, Jacob Delafon, etc. Purification occurs in four stages: preliminary (during which large particles are removed), passing through an ion exchange filter, a filter from activated carbon and a fine filter. The Grohe Blue system is equipped with five-stage filtration technology, resulting in the purest drinking water. The Grohe Blue flow filtration device with patented Mg2+ technology mineralizes drinking water, saturating it with magnesium.

The cartridge is designed for 600, 1500 and 3000 liters of water. The LED indicator continuously displays the filter life and signals when it needs to be replaced.

Connection to a standard filter. A more common option is a combined mixer model, without a filter included, which can be connected to any imported or domestic filter. In this case, the consumer independently chooses the method of water purification: mechanical, ionic or electrochemical filtration, reverse osmosis, distillation, sorbent filtration. Mixers of this type include Fontas (Blanco), Maggiora (Webert), WasserKRAFT models, all Franke models, etc.

Principle of operation

The body of the combined mixer has an additional water pipe, independent of the main one. It allows you not only to mix and regulate the pressure and temperature of water, but also to supply prepared water for drinking. At the same time, tap and drinking water that has passed the purification stage do not mix. The mixer is equipped with two switching levers. If you open the left one, drinking water will flow, and if the right one, regular tap water will flow. The right lever should be kept closed while dispensing drinking water.

Main advantages of a combination mixer

1. Saving space at the sink.
2. Aesthetics.
3. Easy to install, no need to drill additional holes, etc.
4. Get clean drinking water straight from the tap.

Mixers with boiler

Faucets with a compact heating boiler under the sink and a water filter allow you to get both filtered boiling water and regular mixed tap water at the touch of a lever. Grohe released such a system called Grohe Red. Dispensers for the Tara Ultra and Lot series of mixers are produced by Dornbracht. The dispenser does not mix water like a regular faucet. In addition to the version only for filtered boiling water (Hot Water Dispenser), Dornbracht offers a mixer with a dispenser-heater for boiling water (2.5 l capacity), which also allows you to obtain cold drinking water (Hot & Cold Water Dispenser). If you turn the lever back, it will flow from the tap cold water for drinking, and if forward - almost boiling water (93 ° C). The dispenser requires two 220 V sockets. In this case, the spout requires a power of only 5 W, and the water heating tank - 1300 W (this is the maximum value when the device is just turned on and the dispenser needs to heat the water to a set value). To maintain the required temperature, several times less power is consumed. To prevent children from accidentally being scalded, manufacturers of faucets that dispense boiling water equip them with a ChildLock protective stopper.

On a note

You can now brew tea, coffee, disinfect baby bottles, and blanch vegetables with water straight from the tap. The hot water system supplies filtered water from 65 °C to boiling water when you turn an additional valve, which saves both your time and space. kitchen table, because now you can do without a kettle.

Kitchen faucets with additional functions provide increased comfort of use compared to basic models

It is worth noting kitchen faucets with the function of connecting to a washing machine or dishwasher (Oras, Grohe, Hansgrohe, etc.). There is a small valve or button on the body of such faucets, so the user does not need to bend over to turn off the water supply to the household appliances, because the valves are often difficult to access. It turns out easier and faster, and you can always control which mode the lever is in. Electronic valves are often installed on electronic or touchless faucets to dishwasher, which automatically close after a certain time. Faucets with such options will prevent troubles that may happen in your absence.

A convenient system consisting of a faucet, a water filter and a hot water boiler is available for different kitchen faucets. For flawless operation of the system, the minimum required hydraulic pressure 3 bar. The filter cartridge needs to be changed every 6 months (about 65 thousand rubles)

Pull-out spout mixers

For a standard single sink, a universal swivel faucet is usually sufficient. However, if you plan to equip not just a sink, but a well-equipped washing center with two or even three bowls, you will need a mixer with a pull-out spout. It is also relevant in the case when, for example, you need to fill a very high container with water, a large saucepan that does not fit in the sink bowl, or a basin or bucket that is located at a distance from the sink. You can also fill pots with water without putting them in the sink, especially if it is occupied by other dishes. A faucet with a pull-out spout on a flexible hose (Blanco, Grohe, Oras, Paini, Hansgrohe, Kludi, Franke, etc.) will help cope with other problems.

There are two types of pull-out spouts. In some, only the spout (nozzle on a flexible hose) is movable. Others have a pull-out faucet: a hose with a wide-spray shower head extends from a traditional spout. In such models, in addition to the usual pressure and temperature adjustments, there is a jet type switch for two modes: “aerated jet” and “shower”.

Technical nuance

The pull-out spout is fixed to required height special weights or a return spring connected to a switch button located on the head of the shower head. The design with a weight requires a noticeable effort to pull out the hose, but then it frees up your hands for work. A spout with a return spring is easier to remove, but you have to hold the switch button so that it does not move back, which means one hand will be occupied. In both cases, for the hose to be pulled out, you must leave free space under the sink. Finally, there are faucets in which the shower head is installed separately from the body on its own hole in the countertop or sink. The hose is placed under the countertop or sink and pulled through the faucet body, and the retractable nozzle is attached flush with the surface of the spout, becoming part of it.

Typically, pull-out spouts have several modes, from standard to intensive; they can be easily switched by pressing a key

On a note

If necessary, the pull-out spout is pulled out of the socket to a distance of 0.6–1.2 m. The hoses are made of high-quality rubber based on EPDM rubbers. Recently, instead of rubber tubes, more durable and hygienic polymer tubes (made from PEX) have been used. If you need to replace them, a service specialist will handle this task.

If the kitchen has a small sink with one or two bowls, then for washing large dishes and the sink itself, a compact mixer, the pull-out nozzle of which is equipped with a short hose, is sufficient. But when the kitchen is equipped with a large-sized sink, with several large bowls, and the owners cook a lot, then it’s probably impossible to do without a semi-professional faucet model. Devices with a separate shower mounted next to the main spout or replacing it are considered semi-professional. In this case, part of the hose is always in sight - above the tabletop. To enhance the rigidity of the structure, the visible part of the sleeve is supported by a special spring. And the nozzle almost always has a separate lever that controls the flow of water and a jet type regulator. A long hose will increase the convenience of work, and thanks to the strong pressure, it will be possible to wash dishes, fruits, vegetables and herbs more thoroughly. As a rule, semi-professional mixers differ stylish design in high-tech style.

The latest generation faucets are not just devices for supplying water, but multifunctional plumbing equipment, equipped with additional useful options such as boiling and filtration. The German concern Grohe specializes in the production of progressive functionality.

Boiling water supply

By installing the innovative Grohe Red system in your kitchen, you can get water at a temperature of 100°C at any time (without wasting time on long waits). A mixer with a boiling function will heat as much as you need. At the same time it will not cost large quantity electricity. The surface of the case is equipped with thermal insulation, so you can touch it freely without fear of getting burned.

To regularly use the boiling mode, you need to purchase a boiler with a capacity of 4 or 8 liters. Unlike bulky water heaters, it is compact and can be placed directly under the kitchen sink.

Filtration

As is known, the quality and composition of drinking water directly affects human health. Therefore, standing up to protect the environmental rights of citizens, the German manufacturer developed a unique Grohe Blue system that supports the function of multi-stage filtration, cooling and carbonation of water. Water purified from foreign impurities tastes good and is recommended for making drinks: tea or coffee. Operating the equipment is not difficult. Temperature and pressure are adjusted using a special lever, and the carbonation level is adjusted using a rotary regulator located on the left handle of the tap.

Models are available in four configurations, with different lengths and spout angles.

Guarantees

According to the data sheet, the warranty for “smart” Grohe faucets is five years. However, when proper care they will certainly last much longer. From education limescale The brass body is protected against rust by a chrome plating. To remove household stains (splash marks, cloudy streaks), just use a damp textile cloth. The use of any cleaning products is not necessary.

The warranty period for hoses and sprayers, which are not included in the basic package but are supplied separately, is two years. For branded accessories – at least six months.
