Kitchen refurb in progress and now the old units are out, some of the floor is up, and some of the ceiling gone, lots of pigs-ears done by the cheeseparing previous owner are coming to light.
We're looking at a boiling water tap and the recommendation is to also have a "filter unit" that the manufacturer sells, and use unsoftened water, via this "filter" to supply the boiling water tap.
What would this "filter" be doing that might be different from our standard water softener (which uses salt tablets)?
We also have a separate tap to provide filtered water. It uses the softened water supply at present but the idea was always to run unsoftened to it. This filter removes heavy metals and any residual chlorine and gets replaced every three years. Is such a filter likely to be what the tap people are talking about? If so it could supply the BW tap too.
