had this to say: Is it, in terms of physical health, safe to drink (kettle use and cooking for example) hot water from a combi boiler? If the temperature is suitable, why not? Many (?) years ago it was considered a bit risky to drink water via a traditional heating system, but this was often derived through an open cold water system in the loft which could be exposed to organic or inorganic contamination. I suppose that if some warmed water was left in the system for several days there could be a potential risk, but in Real Life this doesn't happen. One assumes that you wash at least your hands every so often :-) -- Frank Erskine |

Probably this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tefal-Quick-...39725&s r=8-1 Check out the reviews. Greenies tend to love it. People who want hot water without mess don't. |

I regularly do from a Multipoint -- it's used to fill the kettle, etc, particularly if it's already been run hot. -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] |

It's mains water. Sure I saw a gadget on a TV DIY show that provided boiling water on tap so you didn't have to put the kettle on to make the tea. You probably have seen one. I have just lfft a power supply for a kithcen fitter to plug one in (after he has plumbed it in). It basically is a extra tap on the kitchen sink. Adam |
