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 through a single tap. It replaces kettles and standalone water coolers with a compact, continuous-supply unit designed for commercial and workplace settings where filtered drinking water is needed reliably throughout the day.

In day-to-day use, the unit handles steady demand across a full working day without notable drop-off in either boiling or chilled output. The boiling function is well suited to environments with regular hot drink preparation — staff canteens, hotel back-of-house areas, corporate break rooms, and hospitality service points. The chilled output maintains a consistent temperature even during periods of frequent use, and the filtration system removes particulates to a level that makes a genuine difference to taste and clarity, particularly in hard water areas.

From an operational standpoint, the Classic Plus offers several practical day-to-day advantages:

• Instant boiling and chilled output removes kettle wait times and frees up staff
• Filtered water reduces limescale build-up in downstream equipment such as coffee machines
• Cool-touch spout and safety activation reduces burn risk in busy service environments
• Controlled dispensing minimises splashing and keeps counters cleaner during service
• Single tap and compact under-counter unit simplifies bench layout and installation

Installation requires a mains cold water connection, a drain connection, and a suitable electrical supply. The under-counter command unit requires adequate cabinet space and, at 28kg, should be factored into cabinet loading calculations during fit-out planning. Incoming water pressure and filtration compatibility are worth confirming with your plumber before installation, particularly in areas with high limescale or sediment levels where filter replacement intervals may be shorter than average.

The Classic Plus is well suited to medium-sized workplace environments, hospitality venues, and food service operations where boiling and chilled filtered water is a genuine all-day requirement. For very high-footfall sites with continuous heavy demand, it is worth considering whether a higher-output model would better match the site's usage profile.
