Zip Water’s Most Eco-Friendly HydroTap

Climate change presents a significant challenge for businesses worldwide, demanding innovation to reduce carbon emissions and create more sustainable products. At Zip Water, we welcome the challenge in creating low-carbon solutions that meet the growing demand from both consumers and businesses. The team set out to develop our most eco-friendly multifunction water dispensing system without compromising Zip Water’s ability to deliver a water at its best. This ambitious goal challenged the team look at the full product life cycle from energy usage, installation and materials used to result in a product with high performance and environmental responsibility.

Zip Water is a purpose-driven organisation committed to an innovative and ever-evolving sustainability strategy that influences both product design and manufacturing processes. With the launch Zip's most eco-friendly HydroTap, sustainability took center stage, resulting in groundbreaking advancements, including: - A re-engineered front fascia and integrated airflow vent for the command center, enhancing air-cooled technology to achieve significant energy efficiency improvements. - A cutting-edge refrigeration system utilizing low Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerant gas R290, minimizing environmental impact.

Zip Water's most eco-friendly HydroTap has improved its overall environmental footprint. Using R290 refrigerant gas, reduces Global Warming Potential (GWP) by 95% compared to previous refrigerant. The redesigned front fascia and integrated airflow vent enhances energy efficiency by up to 24% during high-usage periods, expelling air more quickly and efficiently out of cupboards. In standby mode, the product is 10% more energy efficient while maintaining consistent chilled water. The integrated airflow vent ensures optimal installation and use of air-cooling technology to deliver chilled water with 100% water efficiency, as no water is used in the chilling process.

G5 technology in the under-bench system features: - New smarter interactive user interface makes it easier to and and customise HydroTap settings. - Customisable energy modes and usage settings for personalisation and sustainability. - New CO2 level indicator in sparkling models. - New 'Quiet' mode with intelligent fan speed automatically adjusts the fan speed between 100, 75 & 50 percent making the under-bench system quieter during low use. - Energy saving settings with ON/OFF timers to set the times your HydroTap will be used either weekly or daily. - Sleep modes reduce power consumption if the tap has not been used for 2 hours. ‘Sleep when it’s dark’ function puts your HydroTap to sleep when lights have been turned off.
