Every system of this type hides a dark plastic tank in the cupboard, so with a black tap the visible half and the working half finally read as one product rather than two things that happen to be plumbed together. Open the cupboard door and it looks deliberate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFunction is identical to the rest of the range. The left lever draws filtered water at up to 98°C; the right is an ordinary hot-and-cold mixer. Kettle, filter jug and tap collapse into a single fitting in a single tap hole, and the worktop gets an appliance back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatt black asks something in return, and it is worth knowing before you buy. This is a coated finish, and the products people reach for around a hot tap — limescale remover, descaler, bleach-based sprays — are precisely the ones that dull it permanently. A damp cloth and a dry-off is the whole routine. In a hard water area the payoff is that black hides the white spotting chrome shows constantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree checks before ordering, same for every tap in this range. The tank is \u003cstrong\u003e330 mm tall and needs a 13A socket\u003c\/strong\u003e in the sink cupboard. The filter needs a little over 300 mm of wall beside it. And the tap wants \u003cstrong\u003e1 bar minimum\u003c\/strong\u003e, so a gravity-fed cylinder in the hot press will not drive it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures \u0026amp;

reason that is not obvious. Black is a coated finish that descaler and limescale remover will permanently dull — so the one product that would clean scale off the spout is the one product you cannot use. That makes prevention the entire strategy. A carbon cartridge changed every \u003cstrong\u003ethree to six months\u003c\/strong\u003e, the window printed on the filter label, keeps scale from forming at the outlet in the first place, which means a damp cloth stays sufficient for the life of the tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cartridge also protects the tank, taking out the calcium and magnesium that would otherwise bond to the heating element inside. Hard water pushes you to the three-month end; much of the east coast runs hard, so plan accordingly if you are in Dublin, Kildare or Meath. The part to reorder is ELLSI \u003cstrong\u003ePDT-000052\u003c\/strong\u003e, an inline carbon filter kit with ¼in push-fit connections and a wall bracket — the same one supplied in the box, and the same one used across the 3 in 1 and 4 in 1 range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose a Matt Black Boiling Water Tap?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause black is the finish that makes a kitchen look decided. Against a white quartz worktop it reads as a deliberate dark line; alongside black cabinet handles, a black sink or dark appliances it ties the run together. On a tap this tall — 358 mm to the top of the spout — the shape is a feature whether you want it to be or not, so it may as well be one you chose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a practical argument as well. A boiling water tap gets handled far more than an ordinary mixer, several times a day, and polished chrome shows every one of those touches until it is wiped. Matt black simply does not register them the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trade-off is cleaning products, and it is a real one on this particular tap. Boiling water and hard water make scale, scale makes people reach for descaler, and descaler is what kills a matt finish. Keep it to a damp cloth, change the filter on schedule so scale never builds up at the spout, and the finish will outlast the guarantee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrefer something brighter?
