Appliance brand AEG has entered the kitchen tap market with the introduction of its new hot water tap, AEG ProSource, which dispenses hot water at a temperature of 98°C.
The AEG ProSource is described as a 'three-in-one' offering, being able to dispense purified, near-boiling water at 98°C, as well as hot and cold water.
According to the company, the new tap uses around 50% less energy to reach the near-boiling temperature than an electric kettle and could mean consumers use up to 85% less water – based on a family of four people.
The tank is made from titanium and is designed to fit underneath a kitchen sink. It is also fitted with a filtration system that needs replacing every 12 months. The tap has an insulated spout, as well as child-safety functions to prevent accidental hot water activation.
“Consumers are looking for premium taps that help reduce clutter in the kitchen and also add value by integrating several functions,” said Jason Turze, product manager for AEG Home Comfort UK & Ireland. “There is also the increased satisfaction of instant boiling water – whether it is for cooking or making a hot drink.”
The AEG ProSource is available in two finishes – stainless steel or chrome – as well as five ring colour options and two spout designs – square or round. There are two tank capacities on offer, four or eight litres. The AEG ProSource will be available from July this year.
