What is Cold Start technology?
Thoughtful innovation is often found in the details. By delivering cold water in the default position, Cold Start Technology supports a more energy-conscious home without compromising convenience or style.
Cold Start technology is a smarter way to use your kitchen tap.
Unlike traditional sink mixers, which begin in a mixed hot and cold position, Cold Start mixers deliver cold water when the handle is in its natural upright position. Hot water is only activated when you intentionally move the lever towards the hot setting.
By reducing unnecessary hot water use, Cold Start mixers can help minimise the activation of gas califonts and hot water systems, reducing energy consumption and helping to avoid wasted hot water during everyday tasks such as rinsing vegetables, filling the kettle, or washing your hands.
An added benefit is greater installation flexibility. Because the lever operates forwards rather than backwards, Cold Start products can often be installed closer to walls or splashbacks, making them ideal for butler’s sinks, sculleries, and compact kitchen spaces.
It’s a simple innovation designed to improve convenience, save energy, and support more efficient living – without changing the way you use your tap.
