How Commercial Auto Fill Water Boilers Work

These brilliant machines take the faff out of hot water service through clever engineering. Connected directly to your mains water supply, they automatically replenish as water is dispensed—no manual refilling required! Inside, powerful heating elements (typically 2.5-6kW) quickly bring water to your chosen temperature, while precision thermostats maintain it within 1-2°C. Most models feature a tap or dispensing button for easy operation, while advanced units offer programmable settings for water temperature and dispensing quantities. With integrated filtration systems protecting against limescale, you'll have instant, perfect-temperature water for teas, coffees, or food prep all day long.
