Pull-out kitchen taps are trending and for good reason. Their versatile design can turn your sink into the ultimate cleaning station for pots and pans, while also allowing you for any rinsing tasks with ease, and pour water without having to juggle items into a cramped space.
And if you pick the right tap – a wide variety of colours and styles are now available – you'll also have a beautiful kitchen that looks ready for a photoshoot.
Not sure if a pull-out kitchen tap is right for your home? Here are a few things to consider.
What is a kitchen tap with pull-out spray?
As suggested by the name, pull-out kitchen taps come with a flexible hose that can be pulled out from the main spout whenever you need to conveniently access areas and items that are hard to reach.
In some designs, the tap offers a dual function, stream and spray, which can be easily switched with a button to optimise water usage during different tasks.
What are the benefits of spray taps?
You might be wondering: is it worth upgrading to a pull-out tap? Will it look good in my kitchen? And what kind of difference will it make on a daily basis?
The simple truth is that pull-out kitchen taps offer functionality beyond conventional taps. To make up your mind, explore some of the most compelling advantages provided by these kitchen wonders.
Unmatched versatility for the kitchen
Multi-functional kitchen taps simplify your life with a simple idea.
The ability to pull out and extend the spray head allows you to direct the water exactly where you need it – making it easier to clean every corner of your sink, rinse out awkwardly shaped containers and fill pots or buckets on the countertop.
Moreover, with a 360° swivel spout, extendable kitchen taps enable you to make the most of your second sink and give you extra space for washing larger items.
And to take things to the next level, why not elevate your tap even further with filtered chilled, boiling, and sparkling water functions -- for the ultimate kitchen appliance in one tap.
A more efficient and sustainable option
Did you know pull-out kitchen taps can also lower your environmental footprint and reduce your water consumption?
Indeed, used in their spray mode, a pull-out tap can reduce water usage by up to 70% compared to conventional stream taps. The ability to extend your spout and conveniently direct it towards your target dish or pot delivers additional savings, as you'll be able to turn the water on only when needed.
Kitchen spray taps help the way you move around the kitchen as they enable you to quickly bring water to your kitchenware, rather than the other way around.
A design for all kitchens
Beyond its functional appeal, a pull-out kitchen tap is the perfect idea to elevate your kitchen with a touch of style.
Available in a wide range of finishes such as brass, copper or gold, pull-out taps are designed to complement nearly any kitchen theme or colour scheme. Want to explore a few stylistic ideas? Our Pinterest is full of inspiration, with beautiful homes, and stunning design.
Peachy clean
Cleaning hard-to-reach items in your sink or large pots can often be a time-consuming task. Pull-out kitchen taps bypass these issues, enabling you to reach everywhere with ease and swiftly clean even the largest pans.
And with the ability to switch between a steady stream and a versatile spray, you can quickly adjust the water flow to suit the task at hand.
Whether you’re washing dishes, rinsing fruits and vegetables or giving your sink a thorough clean, a pull-out kitchen tap ensures that you have the right tool for the job.
Effortless hydration
So far, we've shown the remarkable functionality of pull-out kitchen taps.
Pull-out kitchen taps, however, can be much more than a mere water source for your cleaning chores.
With a filtered water tap from Zip, you can enjoy the pure-tasting water – boiling, chilled, or sparkling – always available to hydrate and refresh the whole family.
In particular, the HydroTap Celsius Plus All-in-One Pull-Out is engineered to deliver an unrivalled experience, thanks to an extendable hose built for flexibility and a snag-free extendable spray-hose, powered by its patented compact hose management system that can be easily retracted.
On top of providing delicious, instantly filtered water at the press of a button, it also delivers unfiltered hot and cold water for washing up. But, as with all innovative technology, safety cannot be overlooked. That's why the tap's convenient safety lock can be activated to limit its boiling function and protect young or vulnerable users.
