Mixer Tap
A high-quality tap is essential in every modern kitchen. Whether you choose a practical single-lever mixer tap or an advanced thermostatic mixer tap, the principle remains the same: optimal ease of use by effortlessly combining hot and cold water. At AQUALEX, however, we go one step further. We combine this everyday comfort with innovative systems for chilled, sparkling and filtered water.

What Is a Mixer Tap?
A mixer tap is a tap that blends hot and cold water internally until the desired temperature is reached. Instead of two separate water streams (one hot and one cold), the water flows from the spout at the temperature you select.
Modern kitchen mixer taps often go a step further by combining comfort and innovation, offering additional options such as filtered, cooled, or sparkling water from a single tap.
What Is the Difference Between a Mixer Tap and a Regular Tap?
A regular tap mixes hot and cold mains water to the desired temperature but only provides unfiltered water. This water is perfectly suitable for household use and safe to drink, although taste, smell or limescale levels may vary.
A mixer tap with both unfiltered and filtered water goes a step further. This kitchen mixer tap combines standard hot and cold unfiltered water with a separate flow of filtered water from the same tap. The filtered water is purified on site and is ideal for drinking: purer in taste and free from unwanted substances such as chlorine and microplastics.
Why Choose a Mixer Tap?
- Ease of use: Control both water flow and temperature with a single movement.
- Water savings: The desired temperature is reached faster, reducing water waste.
- Safety: Especially with a thermostatic mixer tap, the temperature remains stable, minimizing the risk of scalding.
- Design: Mixer taps offer a sleek, modern look and require fewer drill holes in your countertop.

What Types of Mixer Taps Are Available?
Depending on your interior style and usage needs, you can choose from different types of mixer taps:
Single-Lever Mixer Tap
This is the most popular choice for a modern kitchen tap. With one lever, you control both the water flow and the temperature. A single-lever mixer tap is hygienic and practical, as you can even operate it with your elbow when your hands are dirty while cooking.
Dual-Lever Mixer Tap
If you prefer a classic or country-style look, a dual-lever mixer tap is ideal. It features two separate handles for hot and cold water. Although it may take slightly longer to find the perfect mix, it offers a timeless design.
Thermostatic Mixer Tap
A thermostatic mixer tap is the ultimate in comfort. You pre-set the temperature (for example, to 38°C), and the tap automatically compensates for fluctuations in water pressure. This type is often used in bathrooms but is also gaining popularity in professional kitchen environments.
Kitchen Mixer Tap with Additional Features
Today’s modern kitchen mixer tap is a multifunctional solution. At AQUALEX, we integrate these taps with cooling and filtration systems, so in addition to hot and cold water, you can instantly enjoy beautifully purified drinking water straight from the tap.

Is every kitchen mixer tap suitable for my countertop?
At AQUALEX, our kitchen mixer taps are designed with standard dimensions and flexible connections, making them easy to install in most kitchens. Not sure? We’re happy to review your situation with you.
Can I install a thermostatic mixer tap anywhere?
In principle, yes—provided that both a hot and cold water connection are available. A thermostatic mixer tap automatically regulates the temperature, increasing both comfort and safety. In older homes or specific situations, an adjustment may be required, but in most modern kitchens installation is perfectly possible.
What is the advantage of a mixer tap with a filter?
A mixer tap with a filter gives you instant access to filtered drinking water from the same tap. That means fewer impurities, better taste, and no more carrying heavy bottles of water. You save space, money, and plastic, while always having access to pure water. At AQUALEX, we combine ease of use with sustainability, right at your countertop.
