Zip HydroTap G5 Classic Plus Boiling & Chilled Tap Chrome

The Zip HydroTap G5 Classic Plus is an under-counter filtered water system that delivers instant boiling and chilled water from a single tap point. The filtration and temperature control unit sits in a compact under-counter housing, keeping the worktop free, while the tap itself — finished in bright chrome over a brass construction — presents neatly in professional and client-facing environments.

In practice, eliminating the kettle and chilled jug from the workflow makes a genuine difference during busy periods. Staff can draw boiling or filtered chilled water on demand throughout the day without waiting, and the system is built to handle sustained use without performance drop-off. The filtered output is consistent, which matters in areas where water quality affects the taste of hot drinks or the experience of guests.

The main operational advantages worth noting are:

• Instant boiling and chilled water from one tap, reducing equipment on the worktop
• 0.2 micron filtration removes impurities that affect taste and water quality
• Cool-touch spout and built-in safety modes reduce scalding risk in shared spaces
• Smooth, controlled dispense — no splashing near workstations or service counters
• Energy-saving modes help manage running costs during quieter periods

Installation requires a mains cold water connection and an electrical supply to the under-counter unit. The command centre weighs 28kg, so the cupboard structure needs to be adequate, and access for routine servicing and filter cartridge replacement should be considered at the planning stage. Zip offer service plans that cover scheduled maintenance, which is worth factoring in alongside the purchase. The bright chrome finish is worth matching against existing fitments if you are fitting this into an established space.

The Classic Plus suits medium-sized workplaces, hospitality back-of-house areas, staff canteens, and professional environments where filtered water quality and safety are day-to-day priorities. For sites with very high simultaneous demand or larger teams drawing water at peak times, it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity model would be a better fit for your usage pattern.
