1 min readZip Water’s latest tap system could replace your kettle and Sodastream, but it won’t be cheap. The HydroTap Celsius Plus All-In-One Pull-Out system can dispense filtered boiling, chilled, and sparkling water, as well as unfiltered hot and cold water from the same tap- it retails for $9,295. The same tap without the pull-out feature retails for a full $1000 less, but regardless of the model the price includes basic installation for the system.
Both taps come in seven different finishes with a swan neck design. An aerator is hidden within the spout which is used to add additional sparkle to your sparkling water. PreviousHydro Tap models have relied on the gaseous water to travel all the way through the tube, but Zip claims that the new aerator will improve delivery and flow. Notably, the Pull-Out sports a perfect water rating, using 4.5 litres per minute, while the static version uses 6 litres.
While this price includes installation, it does not cover ongoing maintenance costs. Zip Water tap maintenance is required to be done through the company on either an adhoc basis or regular planned visits. Zip offers tiered service plans through the Zip HydroCare Preventative Maintenance Plan ranging from Bronze through to Platinum. Bronze covers the essentials, and opting for Platinum means that Zip will take care of everything including CO2 changes. Adhoc fees start from $144.45 for the first 15 minutes. According to Zip the new Celsius range won’t cost more than other products to service.
