Three ways to get every kind of water.
You can live perfectly well with a kettle, a filter jug and a soda maker. Here is what really changes, without the gloss.
| 3 separate appliances | Premium 5-in-1 tap | HYDRAL | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purchase price | ≈ €150 (kettle + filter jug + soda maker) | €1,500 to €3,000 | €490 to €990 |
| Boiling water | 3 to 5 minutes' wait | Instant | Instant (Pure, One) |
| Filtered water | A jug to fill and keep cool | From the tap | From the tap |
| Sparkling water | A bottle to fill and carbonate | From the tap (depending on model) | From the tap (Spark, One) |
| Space on the worktop | 3 appliances | None (everything under the sink) | None (everything under the sink) |
| Plastic bottles | Fewer, but packs often remain | No longer needed | No longer needed |
| Everyday effort | Fill, wait, pour, put away | One gesture | One gesture |
So, is HYDRAL “better”?
Not in absolute terms. Three appliances cost less to buy. But they take up space, and every day you fill, wait, pour and put away, three or four times over. Over ten years, that adds up to a lot of effort.
HYDRAL is worth it if you value your time, your worktop and an easier daily routine. If that does not matter to you, keep your appliances.
Compared with premium 5-in-1 taps, the technology is the same. The difference is the price: we sell direct, without resellers or showrooms. How we get to €490.
