How to Eliminate the Need for a Kettle, Soda Maker, and Filter Jug with One Tap

If your benchtop is taken up by a kettle, a soda maker, and a filter jug, you’re not alone. These appliances each serve a purpose, but together they crowd the space, complicate your routine, and detract from the clean, considered design most modern kitchens aim for.

Now imagine replacing them all with one tap. A Billi system can deliver boiling, chilled, sparkling, and still filtered water instantly, from a single, streamlined fixture. No waiting. No clutter. Just immediate access to high-quality water, in the style and temperature you prefer.

With over 30 years of innovation behind them, our systems offer more than convenience. They reflect a shift in how we think about kitchens: spaces that are efficient, sustainable, and designed to make everyday tasks effortless. If you’re planning a renovation or looking for a smarter alternative to your current setup, here’s why one tap could change the way your kitchen works.

Why Multiple Benchtop Appliances Don’t Belong in a Modern Kitchen

Modern kitchens are designed for flow, open-plan spaces where cooking, entertaining, and everyday living overlap. But too often, that vision is interrupted by a clutter of appliances. The kettle takes one corner. The filter jug lives in the fridge or drips on the counter. The soda maker gets used occasionally, but still takes up space.

Each device has its own process. You fill one, wait on another, maintain a third. It’s time-consuming, disjointed, and the visual impact alone can make even a new kitchen feel dated.

Homeowners are moving away from this setup. Instead, they’re choosing systems that do more with less, blending form and function into a single design-led solution.

One Tap. Four Functions. Zero Compromise.

Billi’s home water filtration systems can provide four types of filtered water from a single tap: boiling, chilled, sparkling, and still. The underbench unit is compact, quiet, and doesn’t require ventilation or external fans. It’s engineered to fit into any kitchen environment, without compromise. Here’s what it replaces:

• Kettle – Boiling water available instantly for tea, cooking, and cleaning.
• Filter Jug – Advanced multi-stage filtration removes chlorine, sediment, lead, and cysts for great-tasting, safer water.
• Soda Maker – Sparkling water on tap, adjustable to your preference, with refillable CO? cylinders available on a service plan.

Designed to Save Space, Time, and Energy

A Billi system doesn’t just simplify hydration, it transforms your kitchen’s efficiency. The underbench units require up to 65% less space than traditional setups, making them ideal for smaller homes, new builds, or streamlined designs. There’s no need for ventilation grilles or joinery cutouts, and the system runs whisper-quiet. Beyond space, Billi systems are engineered for sustainability:

• Eco-Intelligence™ technology learns your household’s usage patterns, entering standby mode when not in use to reduce power consumption.
• Heat Exchange Technology recovers waste heat generated during cooling and redirects it to preheat boiling water.
• Global GreenTag certification validates these systems as low-carbon, high-performance appliances aligned with world-class environmental standards.

Common Questions and Answers

Will it fit in my kitchen?

Yes. Billi systems are designed to integrate neatly under your bench without needing ventilation or structural changes. Optional fonts and risers allow for installations where the tap can’t sit above a sink.

What about maintenance?

Each system features an easy swing-forward filter replacement mechanism. You’ll be alerted when it’s time to change, and filter plans are available for complete peace of mind.

Is it worth the investment?

Consider the combined cost and maintenance of a premium kettle, filter jug, and soda maker, not to mention the visual impact. A Billi system consolidates those functions, reduces energy use, and enhances kitchen aesthetics, backed by a long-term support network and service plans.

What if I don’t use sparkling water often?

Sparkling is optional and fully adjustable. Some customers use it daily. Others see it as a bonus. Either way, it’s filtered, crisp, and always available if you want it.
