Simpler.
Zip HydroTap now offers you the option of
sparkling chilled filtered water as well as
boiling and chilled filtered water – instantly.
Boiling
Boiling filtered water, instantly,
for tea, coffee, soup and all cooking.
No more waiting for water to boil.
Zip HydroTap makes it all so simple!
3
Chilled
Crystal-clear, great-tasting chilled
filtered drinking water, always on tap.
No more bottled water to buy, store, or
cram into your refrigerator.
Sparkling
Sparkling chilled filtered water at a
fraction of the cost of bottled water.
Tastes fantastic! Adds life to
wines, spirits, cordials and juices.
Safer.
Far safer to use than any kettle, Zip HydroTap
puts you in total control of your kitchen safety.
A unique safety lock eliminates the risk
of accidental discharge of boiling water.
You need to press both the red lever and
the “safety” button at the same time for
access to boiling water.
Press the blue lever for chilled filtered
water. The lever action tap gives you
simple fingertip control for filling a glass,
jug, carafe or bottle to just the right level
without splashing or waste.
Choose a Zip HydroTap SPARKLING
model and you can simply depress both
levers for sparkling chilled filtered water,
instantly. Great to drink on its own. Great
with mixers.
Avoid steam exposure to your hands
when filling pots with boiling water. Flick
up the red lever, and boiling water runs
‘hands free’ continuously for any pre-set
period of 5 to 15 seconds.
You can limit boiling water access
whenever you wish. To make boiling
water unavailable when your kitchen is
unattended, it’s easy to turn the boiling
water isolation feature on and off.

Healthier.
For healthier drinking, Zip HydroTap
now filters your water 25 times finer.
It’s the world’s last word in water filtration.
New Zip 0.2-micron filters reduce chlorine taste and odour and filter out
particles more than one fifth of a micron in size – that’s one five-thousandth
(1/5000th) of a millimetre – twenty five times finer than commonly used 5.0 micron
filters, designed to filter out both Cryptosporidium and Giardia cysts and other
impurities, for crystal-clear great-tasting water and healthier drinking.
This is arguably the most advanced and most practical water filtration system
available anywhere today, developed to meet our exacting specifications by the
world leader in water filter technology.
7
Zip 0.2-micron filter cartridges are incorporated
into the Zip HydroTap installation under the sink,
or out of sight within the Zip HydroTap control
cabinet installed beneath the tap.
Zip 0.2-micron filter cartridges are hygienically
encased for fast and easy filter cartridge
replacements. Cartridges are replaced every
12 months, or earlier if a high level of water
usage makes it necessary.
Look for the NSF symbol on any water filter
label. It is the only way you know for sure that
your filter is tested and certified by the globally
recognised NSF International organisation
against the NSF/ANSI standards 42 and 53.
Zip HydroTap “filter change light” flashes when
a filter change is due. It can be set to measure
both water volume and the number of days in
service, signaling whichever occurs first.

Greener.
Beyond comparison for energy efficiency,
Zip HydroTap also stamps out water wastage,
leading the world in sustainable technology.
Advanced technology cuts power consumption.
Power-Pulse™ electronic technology controls power phasing precisely,
to minimise energy consumption and power costs.
Enjoy more precise temperature control.
Power-Pulse™ also regulates boiling water temperature more precisely
than ever before, maintaining the set temperature within 0.2°C until
boiling water is drawn off.

Automatically calculates boiling point.
Because boiling point varies by altitude, Zip HydroTap pinpoints
boiling point during installation and sets its controls accordingly.
(Miniboil temperature is adjusted manually, not automatically).
Boiling water temperature is adjustable.
During installation, boiling temperature can be varied from 99°C to
68°C if a lower temperature is preferred.
Factory setting: 98°C.
Automatically sleeps when unused.
After two hours of non-use, Zip HydroTap either powers down to
maintain boiling water at 64°C or hibernates – powers off completely.
(Miniboil models simply power off completely).
Slow-flash light signals when in hibernation mode.
Touch the controls and the system awakens. Blue and red lights flash,
then remain steady when boiling and chilled temperatures are okay.
Programmable 24/7 weekly timer.
Turns the power off during periods your kitchen is not in use - during
weekdays, or overnight, or during periods you are away.
Free Flow™ bottle-filling feature.
The “Free Flow” feature now incorporated into all Zip HydroTap
models allows you to fill bottle after bottle with filtered cold water even
when the rated chilled water capacity is exceeded.
Cuts down water wastage, too.
Every drop of water is dispensed at the set temperature so there is no
water wasted running a tap until the temperature is right.
An air-cooled system, not water-cooled.
Air-cooled systems never dump water into the drain, as water-cooled
systems do. It’s far more environmentally responsible.
Smarter.
Zip HydroTap costs so little to run.
Zip power-saving technology leads
the world in economical operating costs.
Operating power without water draw-off
Costs less than $1.90 week
Costs vary according to power supplier and usage.
With sleep mode operating 10 hours out of each 24,
typical daily operating power usage is 0.817 kWh.
At $0.30 per kWh, that’s less than $1.90 per week.
Additional power cost
per cup of boiling filtered water drawn off
Over 240 cups for $1.00
Extra power to boil each 167 mL cup = 0.013 kWh.
Additional power cost
per glass of chilled filtered water drawn off
Over 520 glasses for $1.00
Extra power to chill each 200 mL glass = 0.006 kWh.
Power consumption estimates for a Zip HydroTap Compact 2 model rated at 1.7 kW are based on typical results of
technical tests carried out for Zip and independently verified by the University of NSW. Assumed typical day is 14 hours
operational mode, 10 hours sleep mode. Operational mode is the default setting; the system phases sufficient power to
maintain set temperature in tanks. Sleep mode = the system powers down if not used for 2 hours, phases only enough
energy to maintain boiling water >64°C. Test conditions = boiling water at 98°C and chilled water at between 5°C and 10°C.
