The New Quooker Fusion Delivers Hot & Cold, Plus Instant Boiling Water.

Saturday, March 16th, 2013

The Quooker Fusion, is an innovative hot and cold water mixer with an integrated 100°C boiling water tap.

The Fusion makes instant boiling water even more available in the kitchen, while saving valuable workspace.

The new mixer is available in two types, Nordic Square and Nordic Round, finished in either brushed chrome or plain chrome.

Since the Quooker Fusion is a single product providing, hot, cold or boiling water, you don’t need to buy a separate boiling water tap and mixer tap, making it a less expensive choice.

Especially if customers select Quooker’s COMBI system to work with the Fusion:

The Fusion tap, draws on the usual household Hot & Cold water supply and enables the user to choose from hot, cold or 100°C boiling water instantly.

However, adding the Quooker COMBI product will make it even more multipurpose because, as well as enabling you to draw hot water from your ordinary hot source, the COMBI can mix boiling water with the cold, to give 55-65°C hot water for hand laundry, washing up, or cleaning, without using hot water from your domestic hot tank.

As a result, there is no requirement to fire up the central heating boiler to heat water, except for washing in the bathroom, thus cutting domestic fuel bills, especially in the warmer months.

Supplying hot and cold, plus boiling water from one tap, means there is a greater need for safety, so Quooker has added many extra features to ensure that it is one of the safest domestic devices in your kitchen.

For example the Fusion has a double push and twist mechanism with an LED light, for operating the boiling function to ensure maximum safety.

The twist device also has a textured and grooved surface so that people with impaired vision recognise that they are activating the boiling water supply and also to ensure a firm hold for users.

The Fusion also incorporates Quooker’s exclusive rise and fall element, plus 360° spout rotation, to convey water precisely where it’s wanted with the utmost safety and precision.

The new Fusion is priced from £1,150 Inc.VAT for the tap alone.

The Fusion combined with the COMBI scheme is priced from £1,450 Inc.VAT.

Both systems are available direct from Quooker online, as well as from their dealers throughout the UK.

For further information about the innovative Quooker Fusion water mixer, visit the website.

The Quooker Fusion can be seen in action on YouTube.
