Best of German excellence; SIMPLY BLANCO Go clever in the kitchen with BLANCO’s Smart Tap Collection and UNIT BLANCO has entered a new era with its innovative range of kitchen Smart Taps which is geared towards highly specific uses within the kitchen; each is designed to solve an everyday problem. 

FONTAS-S II FILTER TAP

Another impressive innovation in BLANCO’s Smart Tap Collection is the BLANCO FONTAS-S II Filter. An integrated BWT multi-stage filter purifies the water, reduces limescale and heavy metal content and, thus, enhances the taste. BLANCO filter systems provide three options – warm, cold and filtered cold water – in this multi-functional tap.

The BLANCO FONTAS-S II Filter is notable for its pull-out spout. This spout allows flexible use around the sink, making it easy to fill household appliances. It is unique to the market because of its separate nozzles and two pipes within the spout – keeping the flitered water perfectly pure from the first drop to the last.

There are two separate control levers; one for cold and warm water on the right-hand side, while the control lever for filtered water is on the left-hand side. In addition, the high filtering capacity extends the usage intervals while the filter cartridges do not have to be changed as often, which in turn saves money.

The multi-stage filter from BWT purifies the water from the pipe several times, getting rid of minute particles that affect the taste. The integrated activated carbon filter reduces the chlorine content, giving the water an even better taste. In addition, the high-performance ion exchanger reduces any heavy metal content which would contaminate the drinking water. Lastly, the filter significantly reduces the water hardness which means less limescale in coffee machines, kettles and other kitchen appliances, which will extend their lifespan.

The BLANCO Flowmeter is built into the water pipe for the filter and measures precisely how much water is actually flowing through the filter. Depending on the hardness of the water, the Flowmeter will show the filter’s remaining capacity. If the filter needs to be changed, a signal will sound in good time.

EVOL-S PRO HOT & FILTER

A game changer in the exciting Smart Tap market for your modern eco-friendly, super-hygienic kitchen is BLANCO’s easy to use, 4-in-1 water-saving boiling water tap, the EVOL-S Pro Hot and Filter. It boasts the revolutionary EVOL rotary dial allowing you to set precisely the amount of filtered boiling or filtered cold water you choose. The Pro Hot and Filter 4-in1 tap joins the EVOL-S family alongside the 3-in-1 Pro Filter and the original EVOL-S Volume mixer with pull-out spray.

The EVOL-S Pro Hot and Filter is a semi-professional mixer tap, in a stunning stainless PVD steel finish, which delivers standard hot and cold water with two spray options via the mixer lever on the right. The unique EVOL-S rotary control and measuring dial on the left lets you select between cold filtered or true-boiling filtered water and then set the dial to deliver the exact amount of water required; an intuitive touch control initiates the flow. The selected water is delivered through a second, safe-to-touch insulated spout, while the main flexible spout features a magnetic holder and dual spray for mixed water.

For both the boiling filtered and cold filtered water, a pioneering five-stage filter system is used which ensures perfectly balanced, pure water. The 1000C water is
delivered instantly, in a controlled anti-spray stream from
a specification-busting Titanium 4-litre hot water tank. Titanium is more hygienic, stronger, taste-free and will not corrode with constant use – which copper and steel tanks can do. The advanced system behind the EVOL-S Pro Hot and Filter is monitored by a clever control unit that manages the plumbing connections and the technology with a built-in digital flowmeter that alerts you when the super-long-life filter needs replacing.

TAMPERA HOT TAP

Quite simply, the 3-in-1 TAMPERA Hot from BLANCO is all that is needed for instant, beautifully filtered, 100°C boiling water at the twist of a child-safe lever; from an ultra-safe, super-hygienic and taste-free, 4-litre titanium boiler. Featuring an insulated spout, the TAMPERA Hot offers all the benefits in terms of time, energy and space of a hot tap; with no need for optional extras. BLANCO has developed

this ingenious tap to beat similar specification competitors in terms of price and quality, providing absolute peace of mind. In short, the TAMPERA Hot delivers cold, warm and instant boiling water from a single mixer tap which oozes engineering quality.

The high-pressure boiler is made of titanium, not copper or stainless steel like many competitors, making the TAMPERA Hot system more hygienic and ensuring the water is taste- free. The strong, top-grade titanium is corrosion-resistant and able to withstand the high pressures of a constant 105°C internal temperature so that all bacteria and germs are thoroughly eliminated before water is poured.

In addition, the quality of the water going in is maintained with a high-quality BWT five-stage filtration system that is fitted as standard. This purification process improves the water quality

while protecting the performance of the whole system. The filter removes particles, heavy metals, and impurities that affect the taste of the water while reducing limescale, balancing the mineral content and softening the water before entering the boiler.

The system also includes a fool-proof digital Flowmeter which is a simple digital interface that displays the filter usage and audibly alerts the user when it is time to change the cartridge and also when the batteries need to be changed.

Safety-wise, the rotary control knob with a child-safe lock button must be pressed whilst simultaneously turning the knob to activate the flow of boiling water. The knob springs back to the off position as soon as it is released so the flow stops straight away and the controlled jet is channelled through an aerator reduces spray.

Once registered, the TAMPERA Hot comes with atwo-year guarantee and has a customer service,
