Q. How often do I need to refill the CO₂ cylinder in my Zip HydroTap?

A. Each residential Zip HydroTap CO₂ cylinder can carbonate approximately 120 litres of sparkling water.

Typical usage:

• Drinking approximately 1 litre of sparkling water per day = around 4 months of use per cylinder

Lower usage will naturally extend the lifespan of the cylinder.The HydroTap G5 command centre will also notify you when CO₂ levels are running low.

What's the minimum under counter /under sink installation space required?

Please check the technical guides attached for this unit. For the Zip G5 Command Centre, the unit itself measures approximately 339 mm wide × 483 mm deep × 333 mm high.

Taking into account the clearances shown in Zip’s installation diagram, we recommend allowing approximately: 439 mm wide × 483 mm deep × 535 mm high

You will then need additional space for: CO₂ cylinder: 104 mm diameter × 325 mm high. Only one cylinder needs to be accommodated upright at a time.

For hard water areas a Zip 95591 limescale filter is recommended: 87.4 mm diameter × 374 mm high.
