The summer entertaining essential you didn’t know you needed

With the weather heating up and summer just around the corner, al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining are back on the cards. An often overlooked essential, having boiled, chilled, and sparking water on tap elevates your hosting prowess and allows you to effortlessly cater to any and all beverage preferences.

Founded in Australia in 1947, Zip Water is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. Renowned for their expertise in drinking water technology, Zip HydroTaps provide the purest tasting water to residential and commercial kitchens across the globe. Housing boiled, chilled, and sparkling water within a single sleek tap, a Zip HydroTap has become a kitchen mainstay for discerning entertainers.

In line with its ethos of continuous improvement, Zip Water has launched the latest evolution of its HydroTap Arc and Cube models, optimising the sparkling water experience. The new Arc Plus and Cube Plus models feature upgraded hoses and an additional aerator, which work in tandem to deliver a smoother water flow and better quality sparkling water.

A Zip HydroTap means you can do away with buying sparkling water for your next gathering – both the Arc Plus and Cube Plus make perfectly bubbly beverages available at the touch of a button. Whether your guests enjoy minty mojitos and Aperol spitzes or prefer nuanced mocktails, summer entertaining is sorted with a Zip HydroTap.

Optimal freshness and taste are ensured by the Zip MicroPurity™ filtration technology, which works to filter out impurities and potential contaminants. Additionally, the filters are certified to reduce chlorine, bacteria, and odour content, resulting in better-tasting water. The filtration system works efficiently, making deliciously pure boiling, chilled, and sparking water available at the touch of a button.

The addition of a new cleaning process, known as HydroTap Clean, further increases efficiency. While Zip HydroTaps were previously cleaned during manufacturing prior to delivery, the HydroTap Clean process allows them to be cleaned on-site during installation, without lengthening the installation process.

Function doesn’t come at the cost of form, with each Zip HydroTap taking on a design-led approach. The Arc Plus and Cube Plus have undergone a further cosmetic upgrade, with a flared spout and wider base creating an elegant silhouette that lends them to use in aesthetically conscious spaces.

Available in seven finishes, three popular and four platinum hues, the platinum range of metallic finishes – comprising brushed gold, brushed rose gold, brushed nickel, and gunmetal – elevates each Zip HydroTap from a functional necessity to a striking accessory. The wide range of finishes means you can match your Zip HydroTap to your kitchen hardware, representing the ideal marriage of practicality and beauty.
