Zip HydroTap G5 Classic Plus Boiling Chilled Sparkling Tap

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. The countertop tap connects to an under-counter command centre, replacing the need for a kettle, water cooler, and separate carbonation equipment with one integrated unit. The tap is finished in brass, giving it a solid, considered presence suited to professional and public-facing environments.

In practice, the unit holds up well during sustained demand throughout the working day. The output capacity means busy periods — morning coffee rounds, lunchtime service, or continuous hospitality use — are met without noticeable wait times. The filtration system removes a broad range of contaminants and delivers consistently clean-tasting water regardless of local mains quality, which is a genuine consideration in hospitality, healthcare, and corporate settings where water taste is noticed by staff and guests alike.

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 at every draw
• Cool-to-touch tap and two boiling water safety modes reduce burn risk in shared or public spaces
• Spatter-free dispensing reduces spillage and keeps the countertop clean during service
• Compact countertop footprint with all working components housed under the counter

Installation requires a mains cold water connection and an appropriate electrical supply beneath the counter. The command centre is a substantial unit, so the cabinet or under-counter space needs to be structurally sound and properly ventilated. Connection should be carried out by a qualified plumber and electrician. Ongoing filter cartridge replacement is a routine maintenance requirement and should be factored into running costs from the outset.

This model is well suited to offices, hotel lobbies, staff rooms, healthcare reception areas, and similar environments where water demand is consistent throughout the day but does not reach the throughput levels of a high-footfall public catering operation. For sites with significantly higher or more concentrated demand, a higher-output model within the HydroTap range may be a better fit.

If you are working through the installation requirements or want to confirm this unit is the right match for your site's water usage and cabinet space, the team is glad to talk it through with you.
