Our Top 3 Premium Water Systems
Choose How You Want to Order
Boiling and chilled water systems can vary by tap type, under-bench unit, filtration setup, electrical requirements, ventilation, drainage and available cupboard space. Choose supply only if you already have trades arranged, select supply and installation together where available, or compare your options if you are still deciding what best suits your setup.
Supply Only
Best if you already have a licensed plumber, electrician or installer arranged.
You receive the boiling and chilled water system and the components listed with that product. Installation and site-specific plumbing or electrical work are not included unless shown or selected separately.
Additional filters, pressure limiting valves, fittings, plumbing alterations, electrical work, ventilation changes, drainage, cupboard modifications, compliance upgrades or removal of existing equipment may be required depending on your installation.
Supplied & Installed
Best if you want the boiling and chilled water system and installation organised together.
Select your preferred boiling, chilled or combined system, complete the installation questions on the product page and choose any applicable installation options before checkout.
Installation availability and final requirements depend on your location, access, existing plumbing, electrical provisions, cupboard space, ventilation and site conditions.
Not Sure What You Need?
The right system depends on the water functions you need, available space and how much boiling or chilled water you expect to use.
Compare boiling-only, chilled-only and combined boiling and chilled systems using the ranges and selection tools throughout the site.
Consider capacity, tap style, recovery rate, filtration requirements, under-bench space, power requirements, ventilation and drainage before choosing.
Chilled & Boiling Water Taps for Kitchens, Offices & Entertaining Areas
Chilled and boiling water tap systems use compact under-bench appliances to provide filtered water at the tap without relying on kettles, bottled water, countertop chillers or separate filter jugs.
Depending on the selected system, the tap can provide instant hot and ambient filtered water or chilled, ambient and sparkling filtered water.
Installed Today supplies under-bench filtered water systems across supported mainland Australian markets, with supplied and installed options available on selected systems in eligible Brisbane and Gold Coast service areas.
Puretec SPARQ Under-Bench Water Systems
*Puretec specifies a nominal 0.1 micron rating for the current Z1-R Ultra Z filtration cartridge.
Puretec SPARQ H2 vs SPARQ S5
| System | Water Functions | Output | Main Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| SPARQ H2 | Hot + ambient filtered | Up to 60 cups/hour | Tea, coffee, cooking and instant hot water |
| SPARQ S5 | Chilled + ambient + sparkling filtered | Up to 100 × 200ml glasses/hour | Cold drinking water and sparkling water |
Puretec SPARQ H2 Instant Hot & Ambient Filtered Water
The Puretec SPARQ H2 combines an under-bench heated water appliance, drinking-water filtration and dedicated designer tap.
It supplies filtered ambient water or instant hot water for drinks and kitchen use without waiting for a kettle to boil.
Puretec currently specifies an adjustable hot-water tank temperature of approximately 60°C to 98°C.
Up to 60 Cups of Hot Water per Hour
Puretec rates the SPARQ H2 at up to approximately 60 cups of hot water per hour under its stated operating conditions.
This makes it relevant to kitchens, offices, staff rooms, reception areas and entertaining spaces where repeated hot drinks are prepared throughout the day.
Actual recovery depends on water temperature, settings and use.
SPARQ H2 Includes Hot-Water Safety Features
Near-boiling water requires more safety consideration than a normal kitchen mixer.
The current SPARQ H2 includes a safety lock on the hot-water tap together with thermal and water-pressure protection.
Children and other users should still be made aware that the dedicated tap can dispense very hot water.
Puretec SPARQ S5 Chilled, Ambient & Sparkling Water
The Puretec SPARQ S5 is the chilled-water option in the current Installed Today collection.
It provides filtered ambient water, chilled still water and chilled sparkling water from its dedicated tap.
Current Installed Today options include the SPARQ S5 with Chrome or Black tap finishes.
SPARQ S5 Chills Water Down to Approximately 2°C
Puretec's current specification lists a chilled-water temperature down to approximately 2°C.
Still water can be selected as ambient or chilled, while sparkling water is supplied chilled.
This removes the need to keep filtered-water bottles or jugs in the refrigerator for normal everyday use.
Built-In Sparkling Water with Replaceable CO₂
The SPARQ S5 uses a replaceable CO₂ canister to carbonate filtered, chilled water as it is dispensed.
The CO₂ supply is a consumable and needs periodic replacement depending on household or workplace use.
Customers choosing S5 should therefore consider both filter-cartridge servicing and CO₂ replacement as ongoing ownership requirements.
SPARQ Systems Include Drinking-Water Filtration
Current SPARQ H2 and S5 systems use Puretec's Z1-R Ultra Z cartridge.
Puretec specifies a nominal 0.1 micron filtration rating and product-specific reduction performance for the cartridge.
Exact contaminant-reduction claims should remain tied to the current Z1-R product specification rather than assuming every under-bench filter performs identically.
The Water Appliance Sits Inside the Kitchen Cupboard
These systems are more than a tap.
The visible tap connects to an under-bench appliance, filtration cartridge, plumbing and electrical supply.
SPARQ S5 also needs space for its CO₂ canister and regulator.
Measure available cupboard space before ordering rather than checking the tap dimensions alone.
Check Waste Pipes, Drawers & Storage Before Ordering
Under-sink cupboards are often already occupied by waste pipes, dishwasher hoses, bins, drawers and normal kitchen storage.
The SPARQ appliance and filtration equipment need enough usable space for installation and future servicing.
The S5 also requires enough room for its carbonation equipment.
Under-Bench Ventilation Is Important
Both heating and chilling appliances generate heat inside the kitchen cupboard.
Puretec requires adequate cupboard ventilation and notes that additional ventilation openings may be required where natural cross-flow is insufficient.
Cabinet design should therefore be reviewed before installation rather than sealing the appliance inside an unventilated cupboard.
Chilled & Hot Water Systems Need Electricity
The under-bench appliance requires access to a suitable electrical supply.
Current SPARQ H2 data lists a 10A, 220–240V supply and maximum power around 1300W.
Current SPARQ S5 data lists 220–240V operation and maximum power consumption around 100W.
If no suitable power point is available, electrical work may be required separately.
Check Mains Water Pressure Before Installation
| System | Current Published Pressure Range | Important Note |
|---|---|---|
| SPARQ H2 | Approx. 172–500kPa | Pressure control may be required where supply exceeds limits |
| SPARQ S5 | Approx. 138–500kPa | Designed for mains/town water supply |
Benchtop or Sink Drilling May Be Required
A dedicated SPARQ tap needs a suitable mounting hole in the sink or benchtop.
Current Puretec data specifies approximately 35mm for the H2 and 26mm for the S5.
Existing tap holes should be measured before ordering.
Stone, porcelain and specialist benchtop materials may require drilling by an appropriately equipped trade.
Replace the Water Filter as Required
The filtration cartridge is a consumable component.
Service life varies with water quality, water consumption and the exact system specification.
Filter replacement is separate from servicing the heating, cooling or carbonation appliance.
Choose by the Water You Actually Want
Choose H2
When instant hot drinks, hot cooking water and ambient filtered drinking water are the priority.
Choose S5
When chilled drinking water and sparkling water are the priority.
Need Both?
The current Installed Today SPARQ range does not provide boiling and chilled water from one single appliance, so confirm the desired functions before ordering.
Chilled & Hot Filtered Water for Home Kitchens
Under-bench water appliances can simplify kitchen routines by moving common drinking-water functions directly to the tap.
H2 is particularly useful for tea, coffee and cooking, while S5 suits households that frequently use chilled still or sparkling water.
The main trade-off is additional cupboard equipment, servicing, electricity use and installation complexity.
Under-Bench Water Systems for Offices
Instant hot or chilled water can also suit offices, reception areas, showrooms and staff kitchens.
Repeated hot-drink use can make the H2 more convenient than a shared kettle, while the S5 provides chilled and sparkling filtered water without storing bottles in a refrigerator.
Check expected usage against the published system output before selecting a domestic-scale appliance for a busy workplace.
Premium Water Taps for Entertaining Areas
SPARQ systems can suit butler's pantries, home bars and entertaining areas where a dedicated filtered-water station is desirable.
S5 is particularly relevant where chilled and sparkling water are used regularly for entertaining.
H2 suits secondary kitchen areas where instant hot drinks and ambient filtered water are more useful.
Chilled & Boiling System vs 3-Way Filtered Mixer
SPARQ System
Uses an under-bench powered appliance to heat or chill water and includes dedicated filtered-water functionality.
3-Way Mixer
Provides normal hot, cold and filtered water but does not itself heat water to near-boiling or mechanically chill it.
Choose by Function
If filtered ambient water is enough, a 3-way mixer may be simpler. Choose SPARQ when heating, chilling or sparkling functionality is actually required.

Choose the Water Functions First, Then Check the Kitchen
The current Installed Today range splits into two clear applications: SPARQ H2 for instant hot and ambient filtered water, and SPARQ S5 for chilled, ambient and sparkling filtered water.
Compare water functions, expected usage, cupboard dimensions, ventilation, electrical supply, pressure, tap-hole requirements, filtration servicing, CO₂ requirements and installation access before ordering.
Do not choose the system purely by tap appearance. The under-bench appliance and its installation requirements are the most important differences between these products and a normal filtered-water mixer.
Boiling, Chilled & Sparkling Water System FAQs
Common questions about choosing, ordering and installing boiling, chilled and sparkling filtered water systems for instant hot drinks, cold water and sparkling water at the kitchen or office tap.
What is a boiling and chilled water system?
A boiling and chilled water system is an under bench unit connected to a dedicated tap that can provide instant boiling, chilled, ambient or sparkling filtered water depending on the selected model. These systems are commonly used in kitchens, offices, staff rooms and entertaining areas.
What is the difference between boiling, chilled and sparkling systems?
