Capacity and Size

  • Consider peak-time demands—undersized units lead to customer wait times.

Power Source and Usage

  • Most units require dedicated 13A-30A supply—check your electrics.
  • Energy ratings matter—eco-models save hundreds yearly on bills.

How Commercial Water Boilers Work

Ever wondered what makes these hot water heroes tick? Commercial water boilers feature an insulated stainless steel tank that heats water to precise temperatures—typically between 70-98°C—perfect for different beverages. When you press the dispense button or lever, the system releases a measured amount of hot water while simultaneously allowing fresh water to enter the tank for reheating. Advanced models use thermostatic controls to maintain consistent temperatures, with some clever units featuring multiple temperature zones for various drink requirements. The best part? Unlike kettles that need refilling, these systems connect directly to your water supply, providing continuous hot water throughout your busiest service periods!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Water Boilers

To keep your water boiler performing brilliantly, descale it regularly—especially in hard water areas. We recommend monthly descaling with food-safe solutions to prevent limescale buildup that affects taste and efficiency. For venues with heavy usage, consider installing a water filter system to extend your boiler's lifespan and maintain optimal performance. Clean the dispensing tap and drip tray daily, and check temperature settings weekly to ensure they're spot-on for your beverage offerings.
