Mains water passes through treatment if you have specified it, then fills the 3 litre boiling tank and the 2.5 litre chilled tank in the under-sink unit. Sparkling water is carbonated with CO₂ and dispensed at the touch of a button. An efficiency controller powers the unit down during periods of inactivity. The datasheet says this optimises energy use without compromising responsiveness or performance. The unit draws 1 kW for the hot side and 0.5 kW for the cold side, so 1.5 kW in total, on AC 110/220 V at 50/60 Hz. Treatment is optional and sold separately. The datasheet says it can be customised for regional water profiles, including reverse osmosis where required. For why treatment matters, see our [guide to filtration versus treatment](https://sovereignwater.co.uk/blog/commercial-water-filtration-vs-treatment-the-ultimate-guide). ## How it compares RoyalFlow is a range, and other brands make capable taps too. Here is how we would choose between them. We settle the choice at survey, from your headcount, your space and your water. - RoyalFlow BCS Smart Tap: You want **boiling, chilled and sparkling** from one tap, in a smaller to mid-size commercial site, from our own range, with one point of contact for supply, fitting and service. - [RoyalFlow C2 Smart Tap](https://sovereignwater.co.uk/products/royalflow-c2): The tap is for a **home kitchen**. The C2 is the residential model, with a hot and cold mixer for dishwashing and smaller tanks (2 L boiling, 1.5 L chilled and sparkling). - [RoyalFlow CA and CSA](https://sovereignwater.co.uk/products/royalflow-ca): You do **not need boiling water**. The [CA](/products/royalflow-ca) gives chilled and ambient, and the [CSA](/products/royalflow-csa) gives chilled, sparkling and ambient, both from a 2.5 L chilled tank rated 100 cups an hour. - [BRITA Extra C-Tap](https://sovereignwater.co.uk/products/brita-extra-c-tap): You are specifying for a **larger or heavily used site** and want a BRITA-branded tap with its own system options. See the [BRITA versus Zip comparison](/blog/brita-vs-zip-installers-honest-comparison). - [Zip HydroTap G5 Arc Plus](https://sovereignwater.co.uk/products/zip-hydrotap-g5-arc-plus): You want a **Zip system** sized by variant for larger groups. Our [Zip HydroTap review](/blog/zip-hydrotap-review-2026-features-models-verdict) covers the models. ## Installation and servicing The under-sink unit measures 230 × 435 × 395 mm, so check the cabinet before you order. The datasheet lists the scope of supply: the RoyalFlow tap, the under-sink unit with the 3 litre boiling and 2.5 litre chilled tanks, the touch-button dispense interface, the efficiency controller, and a premium tap finish that you specify on order. A Sovereign water treatment system and a Comprehensive Maintenance plan are optional extras. The tap comes in premium finishes, including matte black and chrome, and in two spout styles, S1 and C1. We confirm the finish and spout style with you before ordering. The unit carries a 1 year manufacturer warranty. We can add a maintenance plan so servicing is done on a schedule. The survey is chargeable and is credited back if you go ahead. ## Questions and answers ### What does the RoyalFlow BCS Smart Tap do?
