Since its inception in 1947, Australian brand Zip Water has been bringing the purest tasting water to residential and commercial kitchens alike. Representing a crucial part of any luxury kitchen, a Zip HydroTap is able to house boiled, chilled and sparkling water within a single sleek tap.

Sparkle sustainably

The Zip HydroTap Classic Plus represents a step forward not only in innovation, but in sustainability. Once upon a time, enjoying a glass of sparkling water was only possible by purchasing a bottle of it. One of the best ways to reduce your environmental impact is to stop using single-use plastics, with sparkling water on tap presenting the ideal solution to buying bottled water. The Zip HydroTap Classic Plus carbonates your drinking water straight from the tap, allowing you to enjoy filtered sparkling water sans plastic bottle.

Thoughtfully produced

Not only do Zip HydroTaps reduce the requirement for purchasing bottled filtered and sparkling water, but the product itself is also manufactured with sustainability and energy efficiency front-of-mind. Developed in collaboration with sustainability consulting company thinkstep-anz, Zip Water has released an internationally recognised and independently verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for its HydroTap products, representing the first EPD for an electrical product in Australasia. The entire lifecycle of each HydroTap is meticulously considered, with the EPD detailing the environmental impact of the product from the production and processing of raw materials to manufacturing, distribution, installation, ongoing operation, maintenance, and filter changing, as well as the ultimate end of the product’s life.

Sustainable manufacturing

Zip HydroTaps are locally manufactured in New South Wales, Australia and exported around the world. The Zip Water manufacturing facility adheres to high standards of environmental responsibility. As such, Zip Water is accredited with the following internationally recognised standards: ISO14001 Environmental Management System, ISO9001 Quality Management System, and ISO45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System.

Energy efficient

The Zip HydroTap Classic Plus is equipped with several intuitive modes that promote energy efficiency. The integrated LCD screen allows for quiet modes and sleep modes for low- and no-use times and a 7 day a week ON/OFF timer, reducing overall power consumption.

100% water efficient

Utilising Direct DryChilling technology, with closed refrigeration air called systems, each Zip HydroTap is 100% water efficient. Forced air cooling works to remove waste heat generated as part of the refrigeration process for cooling water, with this capability delivering consistently cooler water. No water is used in this process, making it 100% water efficient.
