Water taps for professional kitchens
In professional kitchens, water taps with shower function provide fast rinsing and effective removal of residues, which is essential in the intensive pace of food preparation and washing. This equipment helps maintain a smooth workflow, as chefs and kitchen staff can quickly switch between tasks without losing precision. In the HoReCa environment, the durability of the taps and ergonomic control are particularly important, because the equipment is used for long and dynamic working hours.
The shower function speeds up surface rinsing and makes it easy to clean stuck-on residues even in larger sinks. The flexible design makes it easier to work with large pots, gastronorm containers and utensils that are often used in restaurants and catering businesses.
Advantages of the shower STOP system in HoReCa
The shower STOP system allows you to control the water flow with one movement, significantly reducing unnecessary water consumption and making work faster. This function is especially useful when rinsing needs to be stopped and resumed frequently without closing the main tap handle. This precise flow control helps keep the work area dry and tidy, because the shower head does not activate at an unwanted moment.
The STOP mechanism reduces the load on handles and hose, which often extends the service life of the tap. As the flow is regulated more evenly, components wear more slowly and the construction maintains stable operation even in an intensive rhythm. This function provides advantages in restaurant, café, bar and large catering kitchens.
- lower water consumption in intensive processes;
- fast and precise flow control with one movement;
- more comfortable working posture during rinsing and cleaning;
- lower risk of mechanical damage under heavy load conditions.
Materials, construction and technical characteristics
Quality water taps with shower STOP system often use robust stainless steel and flexible high-pressure hoses designed for professional use. The construction relies on a spring system and a movable spout that directs the water flow exactly to the working area. Shower heads usually offer a fine or concentrated jet, allowing the intensity to be adjusted to the specific task.
Many models are equipped with heat-resistant coating and well-designed mechanisms that ensure stable operation even with rapid rinsing cycles. Professional kitchens usually choose solutions designed for continuous operation, therefore construction and materials are especially important.
Selection criteria for professional kitchens
When choosing a suitable water tap with shower STOP system, it is important to pay attention to the precision of the mechanism, because too stiff a STOP mechanism reduces working ergonomics, while too soft can cause leaks. The flow pattern of the shower head is another key factor: a fine spray helps to rinse surfaces quickly, while a concentrated jet effectively removes stuck-on residues.
The installation method affects workplace organisation: deck-mounted solutions usually provide a stable support, while wall-mounted taps free up space next to the dishwashing line. Hose length and flexibility are particularly important in large sinks and gastronorm washing areas.
- precision and mechanical stiffness of the STOP system;
- hose length and flexibility for daily work;
- material resistance to heat and heavy use;
- shower head design and possibility to replace the spray nozzle;
- compatibility with the existing kitchen water connection.

BHS usually offers a wide range of spare parts, including hoses, spray heads, seals and other components that wear out under heavy use. Support is available both for installation and for regular maintenance, helping to extend the service life of the equipment.
Frequently asked questions about water taps with shower STOP system
How does the shower STOP system work and what does it provide for a professional kitchen?
The STOP system allows you to stop and resume the water flow quickly, helping to save time and resources in intensive rinsing situations.
How often should the tap be serviced under heavy load conditions?
It is generally recommended to carry out regular maintenance that includes checking seals and the spray head to ensure reliable daily operation.
Does the STOP mechanism affect the water flow capacity?
The STOP mechanism usually does not affect the maximum flow capacity, but helps to control the moments of water supply more precisely.
How to choose the most suitable shower head type for daily rinsing?
The choice depends on the task: a fine spray is suitable for fast surface rinsing, while a concentrated jet helps remove stuck-on residues.
Which spare components usually wear out fastest and how can BHS help with replacement?
Hoses, seals and spray heads usually wear out most often, and BHS provides quick replacement and availability of these parts.
