Zip HydroTap® at home.
Boiling and chilled filtered water, instantly. Sparkling, too!
zipindustries.com
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.
9
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.

Simple INSTALLATION.
You can install your Zip HydroTap just about anywhere.
Location
The tap must be positioned so that it drains into a suitable sink, or be installed on the optional "tap font kit". The tap should be situated as closely as possible to directly above the under-sink control cabinet. The maximum distance from the base of the tap to the control cabinet is one metre. The under-sink control cabinet must have top, side and rear clearances as shown on the drawings.
Plumbing
Zip HydroTap must be installed in accordance with AS/NZS 3500 plumbing regulations, and be connected to a potable (drinkable) cold water supply. The Zip HydroTap All-In-One and vented 4-In-One models require a water supply which delivers at least two litres per minute at a minimum dynamic pressure of 200 kPa. Other Zip HydroTap models require 172 kPa minimum. A pressure limiting valve (supplied) must be fitted at the time of installation. An isolating valve (not supplied) must be fitted between the control cabinet and the water supply. All tubing connecting the tap to the cabinet must be taut for proper drainage, and never coiled or looped.
Electrical
Models shown in this brochure should be connected to a 10 amp GPO 220-240 volt AC power supply in accordance with AS/NZS 3350 and 3000 wiring regulations.
Ventilation
For efficient operation, cupboards must be adequately ventilated. Cupboard doors should be offset using 4 mm buffers provided.
Carbon Dioxide
The CO2 gas cylinder supplied with "sparkling" models must be secured in a suitable location using the strap provided. The gas regulator supplied must be fitted. Each cylinder contains 1 Kg of CO2 and should be installed in a well ventilated area or a room of no less than 38 cubic metres. See website for gas cylinder MSDS sheet for complete list of warnings.
Caution
In some hard water areas where mineral scale accumulation can become a problem, consideration should be given to the maintenance required. A suitable form of water treatment may be necessary.

Extended warranty.
All residential Zip HydroTap models (except Zip HydroTap MINIBOIL) are automatically covered by a 36 month full parts and labour warranty once you have registered your installation with Zip Customer Care. To register, just call Zip Customer Care on 1800 42 43 44. Please note that water filter life may vary according to water quality and usage.

Prompt service.
Zip HydroTap is better designed, better built and better backed than any comparable boiling and chilled filtered water system, and is designed to give many years of service. However, like any kitchen system, it may need attention from time to time to keep it in top operating condition. To provide prompt service in any location, Zip has established a network of more than 300 Zip trained service providers covering every part of Australia – for installation, repairs, or routine periodic maintenance.
