Our tip for anyone looking to modernize their kitchen: The Quooker tap. It can be easily and quickly installed into an existing kitchen and provides a variety of water functions: cold, warm, boiling hot, and sparkling cold water. Food preparation becomes easier, while the Quooker system also ensures more organization at the sink. Here at Mykitchens Magazine, we have a step-by-step guide with videos showing how to easily retrofit the boiling water tap system from Quooker.
Can the Quooker be installed anywhere?
A Quooker faucet can be installed or retrofitted in any kitchen. There are just a few requirements to consider:
- Connections: A power connection (a standard socket within reach of the sink) and a cold water connection are required.
- Cabinet width: The Quooker reservoir fits into a standard base cabinet (from 60 cm wide). For models with CO₂ (Quooker CUBE), additional space should be planned for the CO₂ cylinder. If there is insufficient space in the sink cabinet, extension hoses can be used.
- Water pressure: The water pressure must be at least 2 bar, and installation should be carried out in accordance with local technical regulations.

Install or retrofit a Quooker with step-by-step instructions
But how exactly can you retrofit a Quooker in a kitchen that already has a faucet? We'll explain it with simple step-by-step instructions using text and videos.
1. Planning and Preparation
The first step is planning and preparation. Will it be just a boiling water tap, or should the Quooker also provide sparkling water? How much space is there under the sink? What water connection is available?
Quooker PRO3 Reservoir
The Quooker PRO3 reservoir is for a hot water pipe and supplies 3 liters of water. The Quooker PRO3 is 46.7 cm high and 15.3 cm wide.
Quooker COMBI Reservoir
The Quooker COMBI reservoir replaces the instantaneous water heater or boiler; the COMBI+ can be connected to a hot or cold water line. The Quooker COMBI (+) is 49 cm high and 20 cm wide.
Quooker Cube
The Quooker CUBE is the complement for cold sparkling water and is a reservoir with a CO2 cylinder. The Quooker CUBE is 50 cm high and 22.3 cm wide.
2. Select the faucet and accessories
The second step is selecting the model and accessories. The Quooker is available in various shapes and colors. Matching accessories for the Quooker models are also available, such as soap dispensers, filters, or suitable waste separation systems.

3. Installing the Quooker
Now it's time for the installation. You can install the Quooker yourself or have it installed by a professional. The faucet system requires no new connections. All you need is a power outlet. If you want to connect the reservoir, Cube, and, for example, a dishwasher to a power outlet, you can do so easily with the Quooker Load Changer. However, the faucet area may need to be enlarged or reduced if the dimensions differ from the old kitchen faucet.
By the way, the Quooker doesn't always have to be installed under the sink. Extensions offer additional installation options.
4. Try it out and enjoy
Finally, all that's left to do is test and try out your new Quooker. Does everything work? Does the faucet provide all the desired water functions? Once everything is installed correctly, you can enjoy the Quooker faucet with all its features.
