Product Description
The Zip HydroTap G5 Classic Plus is an under-counter filtered water system that delivers instant boiling, chilled, and sparkling water from a single tap. It combines a countertop tap with an under-counter command centre, providing filtered drinking water on demand without the need for a kettle, water cooler, or separate carbonation equipment. The brass construction gives it a solid, durable feel suited to professional and workplace environments.
In practice, this unit is well suited to settings where staff or guests need reliable access to quality drinking water throughout the day. The output capacity — 160 cups per hour of boiling water and 175 chilled — means it holds up well during busy periods without significant wait times. The filtration system removes a broad range of contaminants, delivering consistently clean-tasting water regardless of local mains quality, which matters in hospitality and healthcare settings where water taste is noticed.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages include:
- Instant boiling, chilled, and sparkling water from one outlet — no multiple appliances to manage
- 0.2 micron filtration for consistently clean-tasting water
- Cool-to-touch tap and two boiling water safety modes reduce burn risk in shared or public spaces
- Designed to dispense without splashing or spitting, reducing spillage and mess at the point of use
- Single under-counter unit keeps counter space tidy and workflow clear
Installation requires a mains cold water connection and a suitable electrical supply under the counter. The command centre is a sizeable unit at 39kg, so the cabinet or under-counter space needs to be structurally adequate and properly ventilated. A qualified plumber and electrician should handle the connection. Filter cartridge replacement is an ongoing maintenance requirement and should be factored into running costs from the outset.
This model is a practical fit for offices, staff rooms, hotel lobbies, healthcare reception areas, and similar environments where consistent demand across the day is expected but volume does not reach the levels required by a high-footfall public catering operation. For sites with significantly higher throughput demands, a higher-output model in the HydroTap range may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this unit matches your site's water demand, plumbing layout, or cabinet dimensions, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- At 160 cups per hour of boiling water and 175 chilled, the Classic Plus is well matched to moderate-demand environments such as offices, hotel lobbies, and staff facilities. For a busy café or high-footfall canteen where demand is more continuous and concentrated, it would be worth discussing a higher-output model to ensure the unit keeps pace with service.
- The unit requires a mains cold water connection and an appropriate electrical supply routed to the under-counter location. At 39kg, the command centre is substantial, so the cabinet or housing needs to be structurally sound and allow adequate ventilation. Installation should be carried out by a qualified plumber and electrician — it is not a plug-and-play fitting.
- The primary ongoing requirement is filter cartridge replacement, with frequency depending on your local water quality and usage volume. Zip provides guidance on replacement intervals, but it is sensible to factor filter costs into your running cost calculations from the start. Regular descaling of internal components may also be necessary in hard water areas.
