Introduction

Zip’s experienced team of Training Managers offer bespoke product
training geared to the needs of Installers, Specifiers and Facility Managers. These ‘hands on’ sessions typically take place on site and cover
all relevant product installation, servicing and maintenance issues. In
addition a choice of RIBA accredited CPD programmes is available.

Every working day in the UK over eight million cups of tea or coffee are
made using Zip instant boiling water products. The launch of Hydroboil
into the UK market in the late 80s revolutionised boiling water delivery
in the workplace and brought new levels of efficiency, safety and user
satisfaction to commerce, industry and the public sector. Today instant boiling water is firmly established as the workplace norm with
Zip the clear market leader.
More recently Zip HydroTap systems have brought further innovation
to the market with under counter units providing instant delivery of filtered boiling and chilled water through easily accessible counter
mounted taps.
Zip also offers a comprehensive range of top quality, value for money
commercial electric water heating products - both vented and unvented - from 5 to 300 litre capacity. This is supported by a range of
instantaneous water heaters and a wide selection of water chillers.
The Zip range is in daily use in tens of thousands of locations throughout the UK including the Houses of Parliament, numerous Blue Chip
Companies, Hospitals, Schools, Military Establishments and HM Prisons as well as many homes.
All products are available nationally through electrical wholesalers and
plumbing merchants.

To support these guarantees and provide comprehensive service support packages ranging from out of warranty repair to comprehensive
maintenance programmes, Zip has the largest team of directly employed Engineers in the UK focused solely on boiling water, chilled
water and commercial water heating products.
Zip is committed to Customer Satisfaction and offers support and advice to Specifiers, Installers and End Users alike. Whether the query relates to the specification, installation or use of our products, the Zip

Cuts energy consumption
Running costs: no more than 15p per day (with sleep
mode active 10 hours in 24), plus boiling water 8 cups
for 1p; chilled water 20 glasses for 1p.

N.B. To calculate a total running cost figure, add the cost per day
to the number of cups of boiling water consumed, multiplied by the
cost (at 8 cups for 1p) and the number of glasses of chilled water
consumed, multiplied by the cost (at 20 glasses for 1p).

Sleeps when inactive
The system can be pre-set to power down after 2 hours
of non-use, but will still retain stored ‘boiling’ water at an
energy saving 65°C. The system quickly recovers to the
pre-set boiling temperature upon further draw-off.
Programmable 24/7 timer
Pre-set the ‘power on’ and ‘power off’ times (once a
day) for those periods when the Zip HydroTap will not be
used, such as overnight or at weekends (for commercial
users).

Methodology:
• Typical results of test carried out for Zip and independently
verified by The University of New South Wales, Australia
• Assumed typical business day; 12 hours operational mode, 12
hours sleep mode, 10 minutes full recovery mode
• Operational mode is the default setting; with the main system
using sufficient power to maintain set temperature in the tanks
• Sleep mode—system powers down if not used for two hours,
using only enough energy to maintain ‘boiling’ water at 66°C
• Test conditions—boiling water at 98°C and chilled water at
between 5°C and 10°C
• The CO2 emission estimates are based on 430 kg of CO2 per
1000 kWh of electrical power consumed
• The estimated cost per day is based on £0.10 per kWh

Zip Hydroboil Plus
Zip Hydroboil®
Zip Econoboil

Patented twin chamber
technology – uses steam
to pre-heat incoming
water

Drinking water

Overview
Wall mounted instant boiling water

Patented Steam-HeatBoost system

Instant boiling water heaters are essential appliances for the
workplace and are available in the widest range of models and
capacities.
Saves time
No more time wasted waiting for
water to boil—Zip delivers boiling
water instantly, at the touch of a
tap.
Saves energy
No energy is wasted boiling more
water than needed—fingertip
control gives a cup full or teapot
full at a time.
Saves space
No cluttered worktops—Zip
instant boiling water eliminates
the need for kettles and exposed
power leads.
Saves money
Costs little to run—thanks to
energy-efficient design and
electronic controls (Hydroboil
Plus) to minimise power
consumption.
Sets a new standard
Every working day in the UK over
eight million cups of tea and
coffee are made using Zip instant
boiling water systems.
Temperature control
Zip’s patented high precision
temperature control systems are
designed to keep the boiling
water within one degree of the
set temperature. This means that
boiling water and only boiling
water is delivered.

Ranges
Zip offers a choice of three
ranges:
Hydroboil Plus
Thermostatically controlled,
twin chamber technology with
stainless steel boiling tank.

Patented Teflon metering tube
regulates water
flow & temperature

Moulded high
temperature insulation
minimises boiling water
heat loss

Premium insulation and cool
touch two way tap with safety
lock.

Zip Hydroboil Plus cuts energy
consumption in 5 ways
Steam-Heat-Boost System
Steam from boiling water is recycled to pre-heat incoming
cold water. A patented metering tube maintains the stored
water within 1°C of set temperature.
Power-Pulse™ energy saving technology
Applies full power only during heavy usage periods cutting
back to micro-pulse power during light usage or when unused — not available on 40 litre model.
Inactivity sleep mode
After 2 hours of non-use Hydroboil Plus enters sleep mode,
allowing the water temperature to reduce to 65° at which it
is maintained until next draw-off.
Low light sleep mode
When activated, an integral light detector activates this facility when room light is switched off and the unit enters sleep
mode as above.

White finish.
Integral 24 hour 7 day timer
Switches system off during known periods of inactivity,
returning to full functionality ahead of next expected demand.

Overview
Chilled, filtered water
Zip HydroTap
Zip Chilltap
Zip Chillmaster
Zip Chill Fountain
Zip Wall Fountain
Chilled water for the home NEW
Zip’s mains fed chillers are designed for work place and home
environments, where they provide fresh filtered drinking water.
Features and benefits
Provides drinking water at a fraction of the cost of bottled water
• No more bottled water to buy
• No more bottled water to store
• No more bottled water to handle
• No more environmental issues associated with bottled water
• No more running out of drinking water during periods of high
demand such as hot weather
• Features the most technically advanced submicron filtration
system for healthier, better tasting drinking water
• Reduces chlorine taste and odour
• Filters out contaminants down to 1 micron
• Reduces parasitic protozoan cysts such as Cryptosporidium
and Giardia
• Reduces dirt, rust and asbestos fibres
• Inhibits the accumulation of limescale deposits

Good hydration
Water is a vital nutrient for life.
Everybody wants to be healthy
both at home and at work, where
a healthier workforce leads to
improved efficiency.
Even mild levels of dehydration
adversely affect both physical
and mental performance.
There is currently no agreement
on how much water we should
drink each day but estimates
range from 1.2 to 3 litres per day.
The need for consumption at the
top of these estimates would
apply to those working in hot or
dusty environments or where
there is a need to wear protective
clothing.

Access to drinking water
The law requires that employers
provide an adequate supply of
wholesome drinking water for all
persons in the workplace. This
must be readily available at
suitable places. Drinking water
should not be sited where
contamination is likely such as
toilet or washroom facilities.
In the home, saving the cost of
bottled water and the advantage
of freeing up space in the fridge
can be a significant benefit.

Hot water

Zip InLine
instantaneous water heating
The inside story

Why Zip InLine instantaneous
water heating?
Zip InLine instantaneous water
heaters are the most energy
efficient way of directly heating
water electrically.
Using the very latest German
technology, Zip InLine offers a
host of Specifier, Installer and
End User benefits:
• Unrivalled energy efficiency
– No standing heat loss
• Sophisticated electronic
control

Energy efficiency
Zip Inline saves energy by:
• Heating only the water
drawn off
• Avoiding stored water
heat losses
When comparing the energy
used over 24 hrs to deliver 75
litres of water at 38°C (assuming
12°C supply) typical savings of
23% can be achieved.
Product

Energy Usage

• Unlimited hot water supply

15 litre storage
water heater

3.0kWh

• Easy to install

Zip InLine

2.3kWh

• Compatible with standard
tapware
• Neat compact design
• Tangible water savings

N.B. Percentage savings may be
less with increased demand but
more during periods without draw
off.

Bare wire technology
The Zip ES, ILX012, DEX and
DBX models feature bare wire
heating technology using
stainless steel elements directly
immersed in the water flow
path.This system achieves
maximum efficiency by means of
direct contact with the water flow
plus the fastest possible heat up
times, typically less than 2
seconds.
Unlimited supply of hot water *
Zip InLine will deliver a continuous
supply at the selected temperature.
Easy installation
Zip InLine products simply connect
to standard closed outlet taps
without the need for unvented
water controls.

Smart design
The unit’s compact size enables
it to fit neatly and unobtrusively in
any location.
Water conservation
Zip InLine is designed for
installation close to the point of
use, avoiding the need for water
to be run off before achieving
temperature.
Savings per draw off compared
to centralised systems with long
pipe runs are as follows:
Traditional system
