InSinkErator Contour Water Dispenser

Yes, this unit connects to a dedicated under-sink tank to heat the water. You will need to ensure you have adequate cabinet space beneath your sink to accommodate both the tank and the filtration system.

While the installation is straightforward for those comfortable with basic plumbing and electrical work, it does involve connecting water lines and an electrical outlet for the tank. If you are not experienced with under-sink plumbing, hiring a professional is recommended to ensure proper seals and connections.

The dispenser is compatible with InSinkErator filtration systems, which can be added to ensure your hot and cold water is filtered. The unit itself does not include a built-in filter, so you will need to purchase and install a filtration system separately if you want purified water.

The system provides near-boiling water, typically reaching temperatures up to 200°F. This is ideal for brewing tea, instant coffee, or blanching vegetables, though it is slightly below the 212°F required for a rolling boil.

No, the faucet is designed with insulation to remain cool to the touch even while dispensing near-boiling water. The dual-handle design also helps keep the hot and cold controls distinct for safety.
