Why choose the Water Dispenser
A stand that holds a bottle of drinking water and serves it cold, room temperature or hot at the push of a tap. Bottom-load models hide the bottle in the base so you don't have to lift it.
- Cold and hot water on demand
- Bottom-load models avoid lifting heavy bottles
- Child lock on the hot tap
- Some models include a small fridge cabinet
Why choose the Instant Water Heater
A compact heater that warms water as it flows, usually fitted to one shower or tap. It gives hot water on demand with no tank to wait for.
- Hot water in seconds
- No tank, so it fits small bathrooms
- Only heats the water you use
