    The mrs drinks copious amounts of carbonated water, she doesn't like still.
    I know.
    So, in an attempt to cut down on having to buy it and reduce our single use plastic consumption.........'ark at me.......I'm trying to find a carbonated water tap for the sink.
    Now, I know you can get the Quooker boiling water and carbonated all in one jobbies for silly money, but we really don't want the boiling facility.
    Does anyone know of just a carbonating tap, I can't find one.
    Ta.

    They’re great Helen!
    The only downside is that you have to change the filter about every 6 months which is hardly a chore really.

    Thanks but that appears to be an expensive method of obtaining filtered still water. I'm looking for carbonated.

    I'm scared I'd scald myself. Plus I kniw ot sounds odd but I love filling a kettle amd putting it onto boil, it's satisfying like pegging washing outside!

    I would fully recommend the quooker boiling tap thing! Couldn’t live without it now. Well, I could but I’d miss it a lot!

    Thanks, they all seem to include the boiling facility as I guess if you're spending £2k+ you want it all singing n dancing.
    We are planning a narrowboat fitout, so energy use is important. We don't want the boiling facility as we have a whistling kettle for the stove or hob.
    It's just a simple carbonated one we're looking for, but it does appear they don't exist.

    Any particular reason? It’s either that or ~£2k for one that boils as well.

    Yeah, now that that appears to be the options, she's coming round to the idea :D

    Just googled Sodastreams.......they have gone all modern since back in the day!
