Upgraded Hot & Cold Water System – Customisable, Stylish & Future-Proof
Take your self-contained water setup to the next level with our Upgraded System — designed to offer greater flexibility, enhanced performance, and complete customisation. Ideal for those who want a premium, mains-free water solution that can adapt with their style and space.
Why Upgrade? Endless Possibilities
Unlike our standard system, the upgraded system uses an instant water heater to deliver hot water at up to 55°C (temperature may vary slightly depending on flow rate). Paired with a standard mixer tap, you can now control and blend hot and cold water just like a plumbed-in sink — with no compromise on convenience.
You can also:
Choose any tap style, colour, or shape (compatible with your basin size)
Switch to a mains water connection in the future if needed — the fittings make it easy
Enjoy a sleek, modern aesthetic with premium tap finishes like brushed gold, matte black, chrome, and more
