The patented Zip HydroTap is the world leader in instant boiling filtered water – the combination of unique design and superior technology ensures instant boiling water at your fingertips in the most cost-effective and energy efficient way:
- Costs less than 15 cents per day to dispense both boiling and chilled water in an instant.
- Less energy than a traditional 50 watt light globe and is up to 40% more effcient than a kettle.
- Electronic smart technology offering two efficient power-saving timer options. A 24 hour clock that can power the unit down and back up at pre-set times and an automatic sleep mode. In sleep mode, if no water has been drawn for a specified time (2 or 4 hours), the HydroTap will power down to conserve energy; returning to full power at the touch of the tap.
- Air-cooled system means no water wastage compared to competitor models, one of which was found to be capable of dumping some 17 litres of water down the drain when in standby mode over a 24 hour period – equivalent to wasting 6,205 litres of drinkable water each year.
- Fully insulated under-sink operating system incorporates excellent temperature retention properties which apply to both boiling and chilled water storage.
The Zip HydroTap is designed with safety in mind:
- Tap stays cool to the touch, making the HydroTap perfect for today’s OH&S conscious workplaces. Made from chrome plated die-cast metal, the HydroTap is ergonomically designed and built to last.
- Safety Lock to prevent boiling water from being dispensed accidentally. Access to boiling water requires finger and thumb operation.
- For additional safety, the boiling water lever can be disabled completely. Once this is operational, boiling water can only be dispensed by pressing the safety button three times. Chilled water remains active.
- Leakage protection system safe-guards against flooding. In the unlikely event of leakage, the integral safe tray contains the water. Meanwhile the leak detector will turn the entire system off safely.
- Superior filtration system with filter change indicator ensures a healthy source of water. The system can also be set to accommodate varying water quality conditions.

- If static pressure exceeds 700 kPa, a 500 kPa pressure limiting valve must be fi tted (Pressure limiting valve not included).
- An isolating valve should be installed between the water supply and the under-sink unit.
- The under-sink unit should be located as closely as possible to directly beneath the tap – maximum up to 1.0 metre away.
- Tubes should be taut for proper drainage.

- Chilling system: fan-cooled condenser type using refrigerant R134a.
- Clock: digital readout with power-save sleep mode function.
Ventilation
- The under-sink unit must be installed with clearances of 50mm left and right, 220mm above and 65mm rear.
