Zip Hydrotaps

If you have a Zip Hydrotap, either at home or at the office, then you will need to change the ‘taste and odour’ filter on a regular basis. But which replacement Zip filter do you need? For domestic and low-usage situations, we usually recommend this is changed every year (and that is when most taps will start flashing a light at you tell you it needs to be done). For heavier usage, you will hit the litres limit earlier – the tap will also tell you that.

Zip Heaters have launched their new range of instant boiling water taps for the domestic market, giving new customers a great choice of tap shape, combined with their proven G4 domestic units, which are, in our opinion, clearly the most advanced units available on the market today.

The ‘Cups per hour’ measurement is a standard measurement given for taps, counter-top appliances and on-wall boilers which produce boiling water. It sounds like a straightforward measurement, but in fact it causes a huge amount of confusion.

Boiling water taps in office kitchens have become more and more commonplace in recent years, but they seem very expensive – so just how necessary are they?

We are obviously extremely biased when it comes to boiling water taps – we provide more to companies each year in the UK than anyone else online – but this also means that we talk to people who are not sure whether they should buy one or not.

We have been dealing with instant boiling water taps for many years and I remember being surprised at how expensive some of them are, especially for the commercial environment. It wasn’t until we had a disastrous experience with a major, high quality brand which brought out its own boiling water tap that I realised creating a reliable, efficient and safe instant boiling water appliance actually requires a great deal of expertise.

For in excess of 25 years, Billi have been producing a range of quality stylish, energy efficient boiling and chilled taps that boast superb performance and great reliability.

If you can't get to see one of the new Zip Hydrotaps up close and actually get your hands on it before making the decision as to whether it is right for your kitchen, this video on how to use it may help you make up your mind.

Zip Hydrotaps are popular for use both at home and in the office – and Zip Heaters have created specific models for each of these situations. But when should you buy a commercial model?

There are lots of reasons why people invest in an instant boiling and chilled water dispenser such as a Zip HydroTap, and most manufacturers talk a lot about how efficient they are at boiling water, with their timers, light sensors and high grade insulation.

We have heard rumours for several months, but at last they are here: the new HydroTap G4 range from Zip.
