Thank you for considering a Zip product. Whichever one you choose,
you can be quite certain of one thing - nobody offers you a more
advanced boiling, chilled, sparkling water system for your project,
because nobody knows instant boiling water like Zip. We also lead the
way in the UK development of instantaneous hot water products.
Today millions of people around the world use Zip instant boiling water
systems each day in homes, public buildings, hospitals, schools, offices
and factories in more than sixty countries.
Zip remains world leader in instant boiling water, setting the pace in
time-saving, energy-saving, water-conserving and user-safety
technology.
You can be confident that the Zip product you choose is a sound
investment, because it is by far the best of its kind, designed to save
you time, energy and money every day and for many years to come.

Training
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, or in one of
Zip’s specially designed training centres, covering all relevant product
installation, servicing and maintenance issues.
Additionally a choice of RIBA accredited CPD programmes are available
for those involved in the specification of boiling, chilled or hot water
products.

Prompt service
Zip HydroTap is better designed, better built and better backed than any
comparable boiling and chilled filtered water system and is designed
to give many years of service. However, like any appliance, it may
need attention from time to time to keep it in top operating condition.
To provide prompt service in any location, Zip has established a team
of national, fully trained, directly employed, service engineers covering
the whole of the UK – for installation, repairs or routine periodic
maintenance.
In the Greater London area (within the M25) we offer a same day
service, providing that the call is made before mid-day. Other areas
may take a little longer.

New under-sink Zip Command-Centre units are more compact
than ever before and all connection points are now push-fit and at the
rear, reducing installation time. A front access door makes changing the
filtration cartridge as simple and quick as replacing a light bulb.

„„

Advanced insulation and electronics technology reduces standby energy
consumption substantially over earlier Zip models of similar capacity, by up
to 53%.

„„

Auto-calibrates to boiling point upon installation, regularly re-calibrates
and optimises performance.

„„

Simple pin-code-protected touch-screen puts managers in total control
of each appliance.

„„

Adjustments include temperature, dispensing time, safety settings and
energy-saving settings.

„„

Continuous auto-diagnostics system monitors performance and provides
total history on demand.

„„

Integral cross-ventilation system eliminates cupboard heat-up with no
need for an external fan.

„„

Multiple filter life settings, with precise litre monitoring, to optimise filter
replacement timing.

„„

Added peace-of-mind features include overload protection, temperature
monitoring, internal leak detection, plus an internal pressure limiting valve.

HydroTap G4

Zip brings you the most
intelligent filtered drinking water
tap ever invented.
■■

Adjustable water temperature: boiling water 100oC to 68oC, factory
set at 98oC for optimum results. Chilled water 5oC to 14oC.

■■

Power-PulseTM electronic technology controls the set boiling
temperature within 0.2oC and eliminates overboil.

■■

Choice of fingertip control for fast cup filling (lever down) or handsfree pot filling (lever up).

■■

Can be set to require finger-thumb safety operation for boiling water
access, eliminating the risk of accidental use. Can also be set to boiling
isolation mode for increased safety.

■■

Longer spout caters for under-mount sinks. Extended lever & Braille
pads also available.

■■

Energy saving technology

•

Low-energy lights signal boiling water is ready, chilled is ready, or
filter change is due.

•

Hidden light sensor sends appliance to sleep, to conserve energy
when the room goes dark.

•

Sleeps or powers off after 2 hours of non-use.

•

Plus 24/7 on/off timer, allowing power to be turned off,
automatically, for weekday or weekend periods.

HydroTap technology

Zip HydroTap technology
®

Superior technology saves energy and
conserves water

Power-Pulse™ energy saving technology
Reduces power consumption by allowing the system to
regulate its power during periods of high and low usage.
This saves energy whilst maintaining the tightest possible
temperature control.

Automatically calculates boiling point
Because boiling point varies by altitude, Zip HydroTap
pinpoints boiling point during installation and sets it
accordingly.

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 64°C, or can also be set to hibernate
(power off completely). 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).

Cuts down water wastage, too
Every drop of water is dispensed at the set temperature,
so there is, no longer, any need to waste water running a
tap until the water is at the correct temperature.

managers to adjust each set-up to operate with optimum energy
efficiency.

RoHS Compliant
All materials involved in Zip HydroTap manufacturing comply with
the European Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive
2011/65/EC.

HydroTap Filtration

Zip HydroTap Filtration
®

All HydroTap products NOW feature .02
micron filtration
New Zip 0.2 micron filters reduce chlorine
taste and odour, filtering out particles
more than one fifth of a micron in size
– that’s one five-thousandth (1/5000th)
of a millimetre – twenty five times finer
than commonly used 5.0 micron filters,
designed to filter out both Cryptosporidium
and Giardia cysts and other impurities,
for crystal-clear great-tasting water and
healthier drinking.

This is arguably the most advanced and
most practical water filtration system
available anywhere today, developed to
meet our exacting specifications by the
world leader in water filter technology.

Zip 0.2 micron filter cartridges

are incorporated into the Zip HydroTap installation
under the sink, or out of sight within the Zip
HydroTap command-centre installed beneath
the tap.

Zip 0.2 micron filter cartridges

are hygienically encased for fast and easy filter
cartridge replacements. A white light on the
tap will flash to indicate that the filter requires
changing.
Order code: ZT402

Zip HydroTap ‘filter change
light’ flashes when a filter change is due.

It can be set to measure both water volume
and the number of days in service, signalling
whichever occurs first.

Wall mounted instant boiling water

Overview
Wall mounted instant boiling water
Zip Hydroboil­­ Plus
Zip Hydroboil
Zip Econoboil

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 energyefficient 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.
Premium insulation and cool touch two way
tap with safety lock.
Energy saving Power-Pulse™
Sleep mode - after 2 hours of no demand
or when lights turned off.
Integral 24 hour 7 day timer.
Available in sizes from 3.0 to 40.0 litres.
White or stainless steel finishes.

Hydroboil
Thermostatically controlled, twin chamber
technology with stainless steel boiling tank.

White finish.

34

Wall mounted instant boiling water

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

Further energy savings are made due to the use of the unique cool touch tap, where no metal
parts are used.

Wall mounted instant boiling water
Energy Conservation
The installer can select one of two programmable energy
saving modes –
• Integral 24 hour 7 day timer enables the unit to switch off automatically
		during known periods of inactivity e.g. overnight or at weekends, returning
		 to full functionality ahead of the next expected demand.
Sleep Modes
• Inactivity Sleep Mode. Following a period of 2 hours non-use 			

Hydroboil Plus automatically enters sleep mode when the unit powers 		
down allowing the water temperature to gradually reduce to 65˚C, at 		
which it is maintained. Upon further draw off boiling resumes.

		and/or
• Low light Sleep Mode. An integral light detector automatically 			

activates sleep mode (as above) when room lights are switched off, 		
returning to normal operation when the next draw off occurs or the 		
lighting is switched back on.

A choice of two programmable energy saving modes –
• Integral 24 hour 7 day timer to enable the boiling and chilled 			
units to switch automatically off during known periods of inactivity 		
e.g. overnight or weekends but return to full functionality ahead of 			
the next expected demand.
• Inactivity sleep mode enables the boiling water unit to power 			
down automatically following a period of 2 hours non-use. This 			
allows the water temperature to gradually reduce to 65˚C, at
		
which it is maintained. Upon further draw off boiling resumes.

Chilled drinking water
Good hydration at work

Access to drinking water

Water is a vital nutrient for life. Everybody
wants to be healthy at work and a healthier
workforce leads to improved efficiency.
Even mild levels of dehydration adversely
affect both physical and mental
performance.

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.

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.

More information is available from the
Health and Safety Executive by visiting:
www.hse.gov.uk
(Source: www.water.org.uk)

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.

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:
•

70

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.

•

•

Tangible water savings.

Zip InLine

2.3kWh

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

Hot water
Bare wire technology

The Zip ES, CEX, 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.

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
pipe run 15mm
10 metres

Litres saved
per draw off

* Subject to sufficient power being available to achieve the required
temperature and outlet flow under local conditions.
