With the introduction of a new Zip HydroTap G4 range of drinking water systems, Zip brings you a choice of boiling, chilled and sparkling filtered water appliances that out-perform and out-date any alternatives, in terms of convenience, ease-of-use, safety, energy efficiency and water conservation.

Over the last ten years, the Zip HydroTap has become a firm favourite for installation in health-care sites across Australia – typically delivering boiling and chilled filtered water instantly for kitchens, canteens, waiting rooms and breakout areas in hospitals, clinics, and aged-care facilities of every kind.
Developed in Australia for both local and global markets, the new Zip HydroTap G4 (fourth generation) models have been totally re-engineered and filtration has been upgraded to a healthier 0.2 micron, filtering out chlorine taste and odour and contaminants as tiny as one five-thousandth of a millimetre, including protozoan cysts such as Cryptosporidium.
Advanced “Power-Pulse” technology minimizes power consumption and controls the boiling water temperature within 0.2°C of the selected temperature, which can be set to match your requirements and economy goals: boiling at any set point between 100°C to 68°C, chilled 5°C to 14°C. For additional power savings, each Zip HydroTap G4 on your site can be programmed to turn itself off when the area it serves is not in use, or overnight, or over weekends. A simple pin-code protected touch-screen puts you or your facilities manager in total control of each appliance’s performance.
Adjustments include boiling and chilled water temperature, dispensing period, safety settings and energy-saving settings. An inbuilt continuous self-diagnostics system monitors performance and provides a total operating history on demand.
In larger capacity models, a new Zip air-cooled chilling system with inbuilt cross-ventilation disperses chiller heat more effectively and efficiently than ever before. It is environmentally far more responsible than water-cooled systems that typically may waste up to 20 litres of good water down the drain each day.
Zip HydroTap G4 models now available include boiling/chilled/ sparkling, boiling/chilled, boiling/ambient, boiling only, or chilled only, with the alternative of installation on a sink, or remote from any sink on a “font” which drains drips and spills to waste. To avoid the risk of accidental use, each tap can be set to require thumb and finger operation for access to boiling water. Boiling water access also can be limited to specific hours each day.
A national network of more than 300 trained service technicians covering every part of Australia provides support for the new Zip HydroTap G4 range, attending to installation, filter replacement, preventive maintenance of remedial service.
