The new model zip hydrotap offers the same great features and convenience but with a greatly redesigned base unit. The base unit (hideaway control and storage unit) is now 20% smaller than the previous model and also offers all the connections at the rear. This makes for a much easier installation.
When it comes to providing boiling water for beverages or cooking, and chilled water for refreshing drinks, Zip HydroTap is the ultimate in convenience. It dispenses both with an impressive flow rate that makes it so easy to fill cups or jugs, glasses, bottles or saucepans for cooking. Make tea, coffee or any hot beverage in an instant. Pour a glass of chilled filtered water whenever you like. Speed up cooking by having boiling water at the touch of a tap. Zip HydroTap pays for itself, saving time, energy and money every day. And you can install it where it suits you - at the sink, or on a work top with the specially designed Tap Font.
Make tea and coffee in an instant
Zip HydroTap saves so much time. There's no more waiting for water to boil, and no need to buy or store bulky, expensive bottled water in the fridge ever again; it's so convenient and very simple to operate. Push the red lever for instant filtered boiling water and the blue lever for freshly filtered chilled water. Pull up either lever until it locks "on" to fill pots, cafetieres and bottles safely and easily.
Safer than a kettle
The stylish chrome Zip HydroTap is an elegant addition to any kitchen. Unlike an ordinary tap, it doesn't have to be installed on or at a sink. With its unique font (sold separately) it can be mounted on virtually any work top where plumbing and electrics are available, giving flexibility of installation to meet interior design requirements.
Healthy drinks
With Zip HydroTap, hot and cold drinks taste so much better because the water is freshly filtered. The inbuilt filtration system removes contaminants from the water supply that can affect the taste and odour. This means you can always enjoy the freshest tasting drinks. And filtered boiling water does wonders for cooking!
To make sure your water is always pure and fresh, a filter replacement light indicates when the filter needs replacing. Replacement filtration cartridges are as easy to change as a light bulb and do not require you to turn off the water supply.
Ergonomics
Zip HydroTap has been designed especially with the user in mind. The easy to operate, non-slip levers on the cool touch tap indicate clearly red for boiling water and blue for chilled. There is also the option of oversize levers for those with physical disabilities.
Installation and additional info
The Zip HydroTap is easy to install and only requires installation of two main components, the actual tap and the under sink unit. Any competent person can install the Zip HydroTap. The under sink unit requires an electrical point and connection to your cold water supply. The cold water supply and a 13amp fuse spur must be within 1 metre of the unit. The under sink unit also requires adequate airflow and should not be fitted where temperature expects to exceed 35°C. A 100mm vent is also supplied which should be fitted to the front, side or rear of the cupboard housing. The HydroTap can be installed over the sink or using the optional font (requires additional plumbing work) can be installed on any suitable work surface.
