The designer answer to hot and cold drinks

13 November, 2005

Boiling water for hot drinks and chilled water are both instantly dispensed by the Zip Hydrotap.

Freshly filtered chilled drinking water and boiling water for hot drinks are delivered on demand by the HydroTap from Zip Heaters. Presented as the ultimate in drinking-water convenience, HydroTap comprises an integrated unit with a user-friendly control panel that fits neatly into a cupboard below a work surface and a chrome-plated tap. It has an integral drain. For safety, the complete tap is cool to the touch, and a boiling water safety lock can be activated for added peace of mind. The triple-action filtration system removes dirt, rust and other particulates, but leaves the fluoride. Lifting the lever to the up position provides a steady flow for filling Cafetières and water jugs. Pressing the lever down gives accurate control for dispensing water to cups, mugs and glasses. Less water is wasted because water is delivered instantly at the required temperature, without having to run the tap. There are two sleep modes. One can be set to power down the system after 2 or 4 h of inactivity. The other can cycle on and off at a predetermined time each day. The heater achieves a usable temperature within three minutes.
