How we choose the right Quooker system for your home
Step 1 – We start by selecting the best tank for your home
Step 2 – We can then help you choose your favourite tap
Step 3 - We can then talk about any necessary accessories
Step 4 - Calculate your Quooker equipment costs and any installation costs - see the price list here
Step 5 – We need to think about the best way to protect your Quooker from the very damaging effects of hard water scaling
Here is what your installation might look like once completed. In this case, we have used the larger Quooker Pro7 tank, with Quooker Cube for chilled and sparkling water, and the tap we have used is the Flex in a very popular and smart polished chrome finish:
Step 1 – We start by selecting the tank you would like
At this step, consider if you're currently waiting a long time for your hot tap in the kitchen to give hot water.
If you are, you would very likely benefit from choosing the Combi tank, which conveniently supplies hot water and instantaneous boiling water together!
If your hot water delivery time is not of concern to you, we can start by deciding how much instantaneous boiling water you want available.
Important installation considerations:
- A 13A power socket is required.
- If installing the Quooker onto a single socket that is shared with any other devices, it is recommended that the Quooker Powerswitch is used.
(Important Note: The Power switch is incompatible with the PRO7 when used with a CUBE. If a PRO7 is used with a CUBE, then a dedicated 13amp socket will be required) - If selecting either the Pro3 or Pro7 tanks, hot & cold water feeds need to be within 500mm of the tank. If selecting the Combi, just a cold feed is required.
- If you have a loft tank system (gravity-fed hot water), the Quooker recommendation is installing the Combi tank.
- The minimum cold water pressure required is 2 bar.
These are the three tanks to choose from
- The Combi Tank – a tank that does both boiling water and hot water, or
- The Pro 3 Tank – 3 Litres of boiling water, or
- The Pro 7 Tank – 7 Litres of boiling water
How does the tank work?
Water is stored in a highly pressurised, vacuum-sealed, stainless steel tank at 110°C. The water in the tank is held under pressure in a patented high vacuum installation.
This gives your Quooker a total standby power consumption of just 10 Watts which equals approximately 3P per day and 1p per litre thereafter.
The Quooker is the only system on the market with a patented HiTAC filter that filters all boiling water upon delivery.

Step 2 – We then help you choose the best tap for your home.
A Quooker Boiling Water system consists of a kitchen tap on your worktop and a tank in your kitchen cupboard.
If you wanted cold and sparkling water, that is now an option with the CUBE, a separate accessory connecting to the main Quooker boiling water system.
There are various tap styles and finishes for you to choose from.
The most popular is the 3-in-1 taps that deliver hot, cold, and boiling water.
There is a growing trend for separate single boiling water-only taps, and we have noted that some of our clients have preferred this so that they know which tap to go to for tea and coffee.
The separate tap is also very popular in commercial offices, such as office blocks. The separate boiling-water tap can be offset to one side of the sink or even over its own dedicated circular drain.
