Hyco SAPUC1 Sapphire Undersink Water Chiller 20 L/H

The Hyco SAPUC1 Sapphire is an undersink water chiller for instant chilled drinking water. It is plumbed directly to the cold mains and used with a counter-mounted drinking water tap and filter, so the unit itself stays out of sight under the worktop.

It suits offices, staff kitchens and other commercial or similar household environments where a floor-standing bottle cooler would take up space. It is intended for permanent installation by a competent person, not for outdoor or damp locations.

The casing is metal and the refrigeration circuit uses R290. Chilled water temperature is adjustable, with a stated chill capacity of 20 litres an hour and 3 litres of immediate draw-off.
