Safety
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (Including Children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance
Refrigerant
The HydroTap Chilling unit contains 134A refrigerant under pressure. No part of the
unit should be exposed to a naked flame. Maintenance of the refrigeration unit must
be carried out by an accredited service provider or qualified refrigeration mechanic.
Qualifications
If the power cable is damaged it must be repaired only by a qualified technician. To
avoid hazards, all installation procedures must be carried out by a suitably qualified
tradesperson. The power cable and power outlet must be in a safe visible position for
connection.
Venting
Sometimes steam and / or boiling water may discharge through a vent outlet at the
mouth of the tap. Ensure the tap body is located so the tap outlet safely drains into
the sink bowl area.
NOTE: On startup, the controls take the system through a calibration process which
causes the unit to over-boil for a period of 90 secs. Once this mode is completed the
system reverts back to normal operation.
Lifting
Take care when lifting the HydroTap undersink unit. Some units may exceed
safe lifting limits. If you feel this is beyond your personal capabilities, please seek
assistance with the lift. The weights of the units are marked on the packaging and
given in the table under the heading “Installation Requirements”. Do not lift the unit
by the doors.
Airflow
The ambient temperatures this unit should operate within are 5ºC - 35ºC. Proper
air circulation must be provided. The system will operate satisfactorily only if the
recommended air gaps are provided, these are 65mm min rear clearance and 50mm
side clearance. An air vent is provided with each unit for high usage applications,
this must be installed in the top half of the cupboard door as a matter of course. An
accessory exhaust fan kit is available and should be used to ensure adequate
The power point must be located within
reach of its cable (length 3m). The

ventilation. Auxiliary fan should always be fitted when supplied with large units. Make
sure that the ventilation grilles of the undersink unit are not obstructed.
Included in
the installation pack are adhesive backed silicon buffers. If air vents are not installed
in the cupboards housing the HydroTap, the buffers must be placed on the inside
edge of the cupboard door to create a slight gap ensuring a minimum airflow. Failure
to do this may cause the HydroTap to overheat and operate inefficiently.
Minimum Pressure warning:
All AV models require a minimum cold water supply pressure of 2bar (200 kPa) and a
maximum of 7bar (700 kPa).
All A models requre a minimum cold and hot water supply pressure of 0.7 bar
(70kpa) and a maximum working pressure of 7 bar (700 kPa).
Filter Control
The HydroTap filter control is preset to 6000 Litres to provide trouble-free flow
and operation in most installations. Local water quality conditions may require an
alteration to this capacity. In areas where the water has a high concentration of
sediment, the preset litre capacity may be shortened to avoid poor flow, taste or
odour situations. In areas where the water quality is above average, lengthening
the preset capacity may be desirable, but not essential. If any of these changesis
needed, follow the instructions on page 16/17 or contact your Service Provider.
Frost Protection
If this appliance is located where the ambient air temperature could fall below
5ºC when the heater is not in use, do not turn off the appliance electrically. This
safeguard does not offer the same protection to the connecting pipework and fittings.
Altitude
The HydroTap is equipped with a self-calibrating program which caters for altitude
adjustment.
Installation Environment Considerations
This unit is intended for indoor use only and should never be installed outdoors or
exposed to the elements of nature. This unit must not be positioned in an area that
may be cleaned by a water jet. This unit must not be cleaned by a water jet.
NOTE:
HydroTaps are designed to operate within 1ºC to 2ºC of boiling point and at 5ºC to
10ºC for chilled drinking water.
Before installing ensure that the following have been provided at the installation site:
• Sufficient space in the cupboard to install the undersink unit in accordance with
these Installation Instructions. A table of dimensions is given on page 6.
NOTE: Add 65mm to the Depth of the undersink unit to allow for Water and
Electrical connections and ventilation.
• A water supply connection with isolating valve inside the cupboard within reach of
the 750 mm flexible connection and positioned so that the connection point and
the isolating valve will not be obstructed when the undersink unit is installed.
• Power supply of 220-240 Volt AC, for connection to the unit via a 13 amp fused
spur.
• This switch must provide all-pole disconnection with a contact separation of at
least 3mm, installed in accordance with wiring regulations.
Note:
Always ensure the tubes are
shortened so that any excess is
removed and their route is the
most direct line between the tap
assembly and the HydroTap unit.
Do not allow the tubes to sag or
droop so water is trapped within
the hoses. Always maintain a
constant fall
Positioning of the tap assembly
must be within the following
parameters:
The height between the base of
the Hydrotap unit and the base
of the Tap assembly cannot be
greater than 900mm.

Installation Procedure
Step A - Installing the All-in-One tap (see P12-15)
1. Make sure that the tap location will allow the nozzle to drain into the sink.
NOTE 1: The tap assembly must not be positioned more than 900mm
above the HydroTap unit.
Failure to do this may result in poor water delivery.
HydroTap Installation and Operating Instructions - 89650UK - August 2011 v1.02 Page 7 of 24
2. Cut a 50mm hole in the bench / sink top.
3. Ensure the silicon O-Ring remains in place as this is the moisture seal against the
bench / sink top. A light smearing of silicon sealant on the O-Ring will ensure a
watertight fit.
4. Pass all hoses through the 50mm hole and carefully locate the Head Assembly on the
bench / sink top.
5. From the underside of the bench / sink, mount the ‘base block’ by feeding each of
the tubes and electrical cable evenly in between the legs of the ‘base block’. Slide it
up to meet the ‘all thread rod’, and pass the ‘all thread rod’ through the centre of the
‘base block’.
6. Hold the ‘all thread’ steady and fit the 10mm ‘fixing nut’ to the ‘all thread’ using
the tube spanner supplied in the kit. Check the Tap Head position before securing it
tightly against the bench / sink top.
NOTE 2: Under no circumstances should the Tap be twisted after the
installation is complete.
Step B - Installing the undersink unit
SPECIAL NOTE: The HydroTap undersink units are heavy, take note of the weights
listed in the table on page 6. If you think you cannot lift the unit safely, get help
and avoid possible injury.
Before positioning the heater connect the braided water inlet hose (supplied) to the cold
water tee piece (see Pages 12-15). Flush the hose prior to connecting to the cold water
inlet at the rear of the unit.
Position the HydroTap undersink unit as close as possible to directly beneath the All-inOne tap head.
The connection tubes supplied with the tap head assembly CANNOT be lengthened.
Leave at least a 50 mm air-gap without obstruction on each side of the unit and 65mm
at the rear
Step C - Connecting the All-in-One tap outlet
Note:
Included in the installation pack are adhesive backed silicon buffers. If air vents are not
installed in the cupboards housing the HydroTap, the buffers must be placed on the
inside edge of the cupboard door to create a slight gap ensuring a minimum airflow.
Failure to do this may cause the HydroTap to overheat and operate inefficiently.
Model: Vented
Connect the 3 braided hoses to the rear of the undersink unit as shown in pages 14 -15.
Measure and trim the blue silicon tube and connect it to the chilled water outlet located
on the top front, right hand side of the undersink unit. Use spring clamps provided to

Connect the tap USB connector to the USB lead on the undersink unit. Orient the USB
plug carefully and connect, do not force the plug. Once connected, fix the cable to the
wall, ensure it is away from any possible water splashes and is off the floor.
NOTE: When trimming any silicon tubes trim to minimum length, do not loop any
excess or allow kinking of the tubes. When connecting, slide the tube over the pipe at
least 25mm. There are black plastic clamps provided on the boiling and chilled hoses
to choke the flow if required. Only choke the flow if it is excessively strong.
Model: NON Vented.
Connect the two braided hoses to the Hot and Cold water supply, as shown in pages
12-13. .
Measure and trim the red marked tube and connect it to the boiling water outlet on the
top of the undersink unit. Use spring clamps provided to secure the hose.
Measure and trim the blue marked tube and connect it to the chilled water outlet on
the top of the undersink unit. Use spring clamps provided to secure the hose.
Measure and trim the unmarked tube and connect it to the vent outlet on the top of the
undersink unit. Use spring clamps provided to secure the hose.
NOTE: All tubes must have a continuous fall back to the undersink unit.
Connect the tap USB connector to the USB lead on the undersink unit. Orient the USB
plug carefully and connect, do not force the plug. Once connected, fix the cable to the
wall, ensure it is away from any possible water splashes and is off the floor. Fasten
the tap body to the sink using the bolt & plate system provided.
The following instruction is CRITICAL:
Adjust both cupboard door hinges and attach the supplied rubber door buffers to the
doors to create a 4 mm air-gap between the doors and the cupboard. This is the
minimum ventilation requirement for low usage installations.
Proper air circulation must be provided for all Boiling and Chilled models. The
system will operate correctly only if the recommended air gaps are achieved during
installation. A ventilation hole measuring 100mm must be cut into the top half of the
cupboard door to accommodate the air vent provided. Make sure that the undersink
unit ventilation grilles are not obstructed in any way.
Step D - Connecting the water supply
To prevent sediment from entering the HydroTap at connection, flush water through the
supply line thoroughly before connection to the HydroTap. Open the access door and
check that the filter is in place and secure. Connect the water supply to the undersink
unit using the attached flexible hose .Turn on water and check for leaks. If no leaks are
evident turn the power on.
Step E - Connecting an external filter.
(Not supplied as standard equipment).
To combat the build up of lime scale, a high performance external filter kit may be
ordered from your Zip service provider.
NOTE:
1- The braided hose (BH2) with the BLUE ring
