What is the difference?
The type of water heater depends on your family situation and its use of warm water. Our titanium heaters are available in two sizes: 4-litre and 8-litre versions. The 4-litre is suitable for a family home but larger households may prefer the 8-litre version with built-in combi facility for twice as much boiling water capacity. As well as delivering filtered boiling water to your kitchen tap, the 8-litre combi heater can also deliver instant pressurised hot water to your kitchen mixer tap (easily adjustable between 35 ̊C - 70 ̊C). Compact in size, the heater fits comfortably into your under- sink cupboard. Both models can be installed in combination with our 3-in-1 boiling water tap. If you have only a cold water connection, then we advise you to use the 8-litre water heater.

Will it fit in my Kitchen?
Do I lose a lot of room in my kitchen cabinets because of the Hotspot Titanium?
The short answer is no, you don’t lose room in your kitchen. The most common standard width for kitchen cabinets is 600mm, but standard carcasses are sold in widths of 300mm, 400mm, 500mm, 800mm and 1,000mm. Vertical dimensions vary, but work surfaces are usually fitted at a height of 910mm. Therefore, Hotspot Titanium water heaters will fit beautifully under your sink!
The measurements of our titanium heaters are as following:
- Hotspot Titanium 4-litre heater(WxHxD): 8.26x12.80x11.22 inches - 209.8 X 325.1 X 284.9 mm
- Hotspot Titanium 8-litre heater (WxHxD): 8.26x20.67x11.22 inches -209.8 X 525 X 284.9 mm
How much energy does the Hotspot Titanium use? What are the costs?
The standby heat loss, or energy that the Hotspot Titanium uses even when no water is drawn, is approximately 25 Watt for an 8-litre water heater and approximately 16 Watt for a 4-litre water heater. If you think about a typical in-home wireless router, the HotSpot Titanium is equivalent when it comes to energy usage.
It costs an estimate of 9 pence a day for an 8-litre and 6 pence a day for a 4-litre heater (assumed 15 pence / kWh) Remember, this depends on the energy supplier and rates, among other factors.
The below table shows the difference between a conventional kettle and Hotspot Titanium 4 and 8-litre. We have considered the amount of energy it would take to make six 250ml mugs of tea or coffee on six separate occasions with a kettle (partial kettle-fill of 500ml). The cost equated to £0.063p per 24 hours – this based on 3kW Kettle x 84 seconds to boil = 0.07 kWh. With an assumed cost of 15p/kWh x 0.07 kWh = £0.011p.
