How Much Does It Cost to Install a Boiling, Chilled & Sparkling Water Tap in Australia?

Installing a boiling, chilled and sparkling water tap is one of the easiest ways to upgrade your kitchen. With instant access to multiple water options from a single tap, it's no surprise that more Australian households are making the switch.

But one of the most common questions before purchasing is: How much does installation actually cost?

In this guide, we'll break down typical installation costs, plumbing and electrical requirements, and what you should consider before installing an all-in-one water tap in your kitchen.

How Much Does Installation Cost?

In Australia, a straightforward installation of an all-in-one water tap will typically cost around $300 to $500, depending on your location, existing plumbing and kitchen setup.

Installation costs can vary based on:

• Whether you're replacing an existing kitchen tap

• The location of your power outlets

• Available space underneath your sink

• Whether additional plumbing modifications are required

• Your location and the availability of licensed installers

For many households with suitable existing plumbing and electrical connections, installation is relatively straightforward.

Do You Need a Plumber to Install a Boiling and Chilled Water Tap?

Yes. A licensed plumber should carry out the installation of your boiling, chilled and sparkling water tap.

Unlike a standard kitchen mixer, an all-in-one water tap connects to additional equipment underneath your sink, including a chiller, filtration system and, depending on the model, a boiler and CO₂ cylinder.

A qualified plumber can ensure all components are correctly connected and the system operates safely.

Do You Need an Electrician?

Not necessarily.

Most all-in-one water taps require access to a standard 240V power outlet underneath the kitchen sink.

For example, Velo Water offers two different systems:

Velo Spark: Requires one suitable 240V / 10A power outlet within one metre of the system.

Velo Core: Requires a suitable double power outlet within one metre to power both the boiler and chiller.

If your kitchen already has suitable outlets, additional electrical work may not be required.

However, if new outlets need to be installed, a licensed electrician will be required.

How Much Space Do You Need Under Your Sink?

Before purchasing an all-in-one water tap, it's important to check the available space underneath your kitchen sink.

Unlike traditional taps, multifunction water systems include additional equipment to heat, chill, filter and carbonate your drinking water.

The Velo Water range has been designed to integrate into modern kitchens, with the required equipment installed discreetly underneath the sink.

Before ordering, we recommend reviewing the product dimensions and installation requirements to ensure your cabinetry can accommodate the system.

Can You Replace Your Existing Kitchen Tap?

In many cases, yes.

All-in-one water taps are designed to replace your existing kitchen mixer, allowing you to enjoy everyday hot and cold mains water alongside additional filtered water functions.

This means you don't necessarily need a second tap or a complete kitchen renovation.

The suitability of your existing tap hole, plumbing and cabinetry should be checked before installation.

Is a Boiling, Chilled and Sparkling Water Tap Worth the Investment?

When considering the total cost, it's worth looking beyond the initial purchase and installation.

A multifunction kitchen tap can replace several everyday appliances and products, including:

• Traditional kettles

• Benchtop sparkling water makers

• Water filter jugs

• Bottled sparkling water

• Separate filtered drinking water taps

It also provides the convenience of accessing multiple water options instantly, without cluttering your kitchen benchtop.

For households that regularly drink chilled, sparkling or boiling water, this convenience can make a significant difference to everyday living.
