The Evolution of Under-Sink Boiling, Chilled & Sparkling Water Systems: From Concept to Filpure FT-4

Early Days: The Birth of Multi-Functional Taps

1980s–2000s: Basic Filtration & Ambient Water

Early under-sink systems focused on basic carbon filtration to remove chlorine and sediment. Users relied on kettles or refrigerators for hot/cold water. Ambient (room-temperature) filtered water was the sole offering.

2000s–2010s: Introduction of Temperature Control

Pioneering brands integrated electric heating/cooling modules into under-sink systems. Early models provided hot and cold water but lacked precision. Energy inefficiency and bulky designs were common.

The Rise of Advanced Multi-Temperature Systems

2015–2020: Boiling, Chilled, and Sparkling Innovations

  • Boiling Water Taps: Instant boiling water (98°C+) for tea/coffee, eliminating kettles.
  • Chilled Water: Advanced cooling tech (5–10°C) for refreshing drinks.
  • Sparkling Water: CO2 infusion systems for carbonated water on demand.
