With Brits spending more time than ever in the kitchen during the last few years of lockdown, many were left thinking what improvements they could make to modernise, refresh and improve the efficiency of the space that over half of the UK still refer to as the “heart of the home”.
Whether you’re looking to give your kitchen a total refresh with the latest range in smart home technology, or simply looking to make small changes to improve the overall wellbeing of you and your family, Culligan has rounded up these three ‘must have’ products for your kitchen.
Smart Taps
With research from Culligan suggesting UK households could be spending 30 hours each year waiting for their kettle to boil just to make a cup of tea, why not ditch the kettle and get a smart tap fixture with an instant boil, instant cool and water filter option, all contained within one product.
This 3-in-1 Instant Boiling Water Tap with an incredible polished chrome finish is the perfect addition to compliment a sleek and modern kitchen. With touch-screen, adjustable temperature ranging from 75-98 degrees, the 360 chrome swivel and flexible spout offers water both hot and chilled filtered options.
With a child-safe spring lock for boiling water, this product is family friendly and fits within your kitchen seamlessly – with no need for a separate water supply.
The Zip HydroTap Touch Free Wave, with smart infrared sensors, provides a 100% touch-free, safe to use solution for instant boiling, chilled and sparkling drinking water – with a simple wave of the hand. Thanks to its 0.2 mircron MicroPurity filtration technology, the HydroTap offers 25 times more effective filtration than a standard water filter jug – making it the best of any instant filtered water tap in the world. Operating on innovative Power Pulse technology, the HydroTap maintains stored boiling water to within 0.2°C of your set temperature, meaning no energy or time is wasted waiting for water to boil.
Water Softeners
Around 13 million homes in the UK are in a hard water region. Hard water, when left to dry, leaves behind a residue of minerals commonly known as limescale. Britons living in these areas could be paying an extra £676 a year on their utility and shopping bills as a result of limescale build-up. Extra limescale could also be damaging their heating and plumbing system without even knowing it.
A water softener works by removing the magnesium and calcium present in your water supply through a process of ion exchange, turning it from hard water to softened water.
The Smart HarveyArc, is a one-of-a-kind eco-friendly and smart water softener made from 62% recycled materials that is regulated by IoT technology. With its newly integrated, Wi-Fi-enabled, ‘i-Lid’, the Smart HarveyArc provides real-time monitoring, plus notifications on when salt levels are low, alerting customers and providing them with a solution to refill their machine. Customers can then order the unique Mini Curve Salt Blocks in just a few clicks through the myHarvey app. The Salt Blocks are more economic to transport and easier to load in the smallest ever twin cylinder unit.
