Boiling water

the handles have a much more positive action than normal (requiring push and turn) than traditional taps so its unlikely anyone who knew what it did would use it by accident, and less likely that anyone who didn't would get any water out in the first place. There is an argument that kettles/pans aren't that safe in choppy water anyway - and this might be safer.

It's basically a plumbed-in urn that provides a constant supply of boiling water - whilst it is switched on. Question: how often in a domestic situation (home or boat) do you actually need boiling water? Is it really worth the cost (including the running cost) for instant boiling water? Frankly, boiling a kettle isn't that difficult.

well its more like a small urn inside a vacuum flask so it is actually quite efficient. They claim it uses just 10W [0.24 kW/h per day] about the same as boiling my kettle (half full) twice.
but at the price - most kitchens can't afford one never ming most galleys

Actually, being pedantic, that is the standby power use. It will use more bringing the water to the boil each time it is turned on and then again when boiled water is drawn off and more cold water is introduced.
