Building a new kitchen is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get everything right — including your hot water. A Quooker system is the gold standard, but choosing the right combination of tap and reservoir during the build phase saves you costly retrofitting later.
Why New-Build Kitchens Need Planning
Unlike retrofits, new builds let you position the reservoir exactly where you want it. This means you can choose the largest reservoir without space constraints. For most families, the Quooker COMBI+ (10L) with a Flex Round tap is the ultimate setup.

Don't Forget Infrastructure

FAQ
- Can I install the reservoir in another room? Yes, with extension sets up to 150 cm.
- Do Quooker taps fit standard sink holes? All taps use a standard 35mm hole.
- Is the CUBE worth it in a new build? Running CO₂ tubing during construction is much easier than retrofitting.
