Hot Water Dispenser

Install an instant hot water dispenser in your kitchen today and by tomorrow you'll find it indispensable. With standard kitchen faucets, water often needs to run for several minutes before it gets hot, and even then its maximum temperature is about 120 degrees F. Instant hot water dispensers provide just that instant hot water and at an ultra-useful temperature of about 190 degrees F.

How hot water dispensers work

A hot water dispenser is basically a small electric water heater accessed through your kitchen faucet. A small tank under the sink heats and stores the hot water, and as this reservoir is depleted, cold water flows into the bottom of the tank and gets heated. A typical hot water dispenser can provide 60 cups of hot water every hour.

Instant hot water dispensers are a great convenience, and once installed, cost just pennies a day. Your hot water dispenser might even save you money by reducing your need to boil water using an oven or microwave.

Selecting a hot water dispenser

An instant hot water dispenser is easier to install in a modern sink that has an appropriate spout hole. Older sinks can be reconfigured to accommodate a hot water dispenser, but the job is more difficult and will likely require a plumber.

If you're the dot-it-yourself sort, hot water dispensers do come with detailed installation instructions. To avoid potential disasters, many people choose to have their instant hot water dispenser installed by a professional.

Many hot water dispenser makes and models are available, but one of the leading brand names is InSinkErator. Hot water faucets are available in chrome or stainless steel, and on many of their dispenser models InSinkErator offers a 3-year "We Come To You" in-home service warranty.

It's not often that just a few hundred dollars can save you time and trouble for years to come. But that's what you'll get when you install an instant hot water dispenser in your home.

Home Water Coolers

At first thought, home water coolers probably sound like needless accessories. After all, every home has a sink or two, a refrigerator, and a reliable supply of cold drinking water. But those who own them know that home water coolers can be extremely useful when placed in a backyard patio during warm summer months, or in a garage where Dad likes to work on the car.

Filter vs. dispenser

Many homes now feature filters that purify tap water to provide a constant source of cleaner drinking water. Filtered water can be very efficient since there's no need to restock or purchase anything further.

However, filtered water is typically provided solely through a home's kitchen faucet, which is inconvenient for larger homes or homes with a great deal of yard space. Keeping kids hydrated during the day can be challenging, but the job is a lot easier if a clean water source is close at hand.

Keeping a home water cooler by a favorite backyard play area is the easiest way to guarantee your kids will keep cool. Home water coolers also help deter kids from drinking soda. Home water coolers are the healthy and convenient choice for your family's hydration needs.

Keep the party cool

Home water coolers are also great accessories to have on hand if you enjoy hosting backyard barbeques or weekend soirees. A home water cooler would cut down on the hosting work, permitting guests to stay refreshed without having to wander the house in search of beverages.

And when the party's over, your home water cooler easily moves into the basement or garage. Just remember to keep your home water cooler clean, and always have a full bottle or two on hand for emergency restocking. If your family drinks a lot of bottled water, you might even find that buying water in bulk for your home water cooler will save you money. That's just one of the many unexpected benefits of owning a home water cooler.
