Can a Zip HydroTap Arc Plus be installed on a kitchen island?

Yes.

One of the biggest advantages of the Zip HydroTap Arc Plus is that it doesn't have to be installed directly over your kitchen sink.

When paired with the appropriate Zip standalone font and drainage system, it can be positioned on a kitchen island, pantry, coffee station or dedicated drinks area.

This makes the Arc Plus particularly attractive when you're designing a new kitchen and want to keep your main sink area uncluttered.

Does the Zip Arc Plus replace my normal kitchen tap?

No – and this is an important difference when choosing your HydroTap.

The Arc Plus dispenses your filtered boiling, chilled and sparkling water, but it does not provide your normal mains hot and cold water.

You therefore keep a separate kitchen mixer tap for washing up and everyday sink use.

Want one tap to provide mains hot and cold water as well? Take a look at the Zip HydroTap All-in-One range instead.

Zip HydroTap Arc Plus vs Cube Plus – what's the difference?

The Arc Plus and Cube Plus offer the same concept of instant filtered drinking water, but the visible tap design is different.

The Arc Plus has Zip's distinctive curved swan-neck design, while the Cube Plus offers a more angular, architectural look.

For many homeowners, the choice therefore comes down to which shape works best with the rest of the kitchen, mixer tap and hardware.

Is the Zip HydroTap Arc Plus safe in a family kitchen?

The HydroTap has been designed with boiling-water safety in mind and includes features such as a boiling-water safety lock, boiling isolation and a cool-touch tap.

For families, these are particularly important features to consider when comparing a HydroTap with other boiling-water systems.

Does the Zip Arc Plus need a CO₂ cylinder?

Yes, if you want sparkling water.

The sparkling-water function requires a Zip CO₂ cylinder to carbonate the chilled filtered water.

Replacement CO₂ will therefore be one of the ongoing consumables to factor into ownership, alongside replacement water filters and any limescale filtration required for your water conditions.

Does a Zip HydroTap need a filter?

Yes. Your HydroTap uses a replaceable filter as part of its water filtration system.

For residential HydroTaps, the genuine Zip 0.2 micron home filter is product code 93701.

If you live in a hard-water area, additional limescale filtration may also be recommended to help protect the system.

Does the Zip HydroTap Arc Plus need servicing?

Like any premium boiling and chilled water system, a HydroTap benefits from regular filter changes and servicing.

Keeping on top of filters, CO₂ and servicing helps maintain water quality and keeps the system performing as intended.

How long does a Zip HydroTap last?

There isn't one fixed lifespan because this depends on water quality, usage, installation and maintenance.

A HydroTap is a premium appliance rather than simply a kitchen tap, so correct installation, genuine replacement filters and ongoing servicing are important if you want to get the best possible lifespan from your investment.

What warranty does the Zip HydroTap Arc Plus have?

The residential Zip HydroTap is supplied with a 36-month comprehensive parts and labour warranty, with an additional 24-month boiling tank warranty, subject to Zip's warranty terms and conditions.

Is the Zip HydroTap Arc Plus worth it?

The Arc Plus makes most sense for households that value convenience, premium kitchen design and filtered drinking water.

It could be particularly suited to you if you:

• 
  Make tea or coffee several times a day
  
• 
  Regularly drink chilled filtered water
  
• 
  Buy bottled sparkling water
  
• 
  Want to remove the kettle from your worktop
  
• 
  Are creating a kitchen island or dedicated drinks station
  
• 
  Want to keep your existing kitchen mixer tap
  
• 
  Prefer one premium system for boiling, chilled and sparkling drinking water
  

If you only want boiling water, or don't drink sparkling water, another HydroTap configuration may be more cost-effective.
