How to make a warranty claim
If a product fails within the warranty period, immediately stop using the product and store in a safe, dry environment and contact the importer or manufacturer as soon as possible.
Before providing any warranty service, the importer or manufacturer may require the provision of proof of purchase or require responses to questions designed to assist with diagnosing potential faults. All requests must be responded to promptly at the buyer's expense.
The importer or manufacturer will require the buyer to provide the buyer's credit card details before providing any warranty service. The buyer may need to authorise the importer or manufacturer to charge the buyer's credit card for:
· the cost of repairs carried out by the importer or manufacturer (including labour costs and the costs of parts) which are not covered by this warranty (including where the exclusions listed above are applicable) or not required to be carried out pursuant to the Australian Consumer Law (if applicable); and
· the additional fees payable by the buyer under this warranty as set out in the section below titled" Costs of obtaining warranty service".
Where it is possible to do so, the importer or manufacturer will provide the buyer with an estimate of such costs prior to the costs being incurred by the importer or manufacturer. The buyer acknowledges that the estimates may be given by the importer or manufacturer in stages. For example, the importer or manufacturer may incur travel costs to attend a location before then assessing a product and giving the buyer an estimate of the costs to repair that product. The buyer must notify the importer or manufacturer immediately should further discussion or clarification be required prior to the costs being incurred by the importer or manufacturer.
Costs of obtaining warranty service
Additional fees will be payable for:
· Service outside the normal working hours or on public holidays.
· Service outside the importer or manufacturer’s service area.
· Additional costs of the warranty repair such as accommodation, cost of transport (flights/ferries), site inductions and freight.
· Poor access and waiting time
The current rates for any additional fees can be obtained from the importer or manufacturer.

Zip HydroTap delivers instant boiling (98°C), chilled (3–5°C), sparkling, and ambient filtered water from a single under-bench system. 368 products across HydroTap Touch-Free Wave, HydroTap, On-Wall, HydroChill, Mixer Taps, Water Fountains, Washroom, and more. MicroPurity 8-in-1 filtration. R290 refrigerant. 100% water-efficient. Available in brushed chrome, rose gold, matte black, and 5+ premium finishes.
All G5 HydroTap models use an under-bench Command Centre (60L, 100L, or larger) paired with the benchtop tap head. The Command Centre handles heating, chilling, filtration, and carbonation.
Every Zip HydroTap installation consists of three components: a benchtop tap head, an under-bench Command Centre, and a filter. 5-in-1 sparkling models also require a CO2 cylinder. The Command Centre does the heavy lifting — heating, chilling, filtering, and carbonating — while the tap head provides the dispensing interface.
0.2-micron certified filtration reduces: microplastics · PFAS · lead · asbestos · sediment · chlorine · bacteria · cysts (cryptosporidium and giardia). Filters require periodic replacement — typically annually depending on usage and local water quality.
Zip HydroTap G5 uses R290 (propane) refrigerant — a natural refrigerant with 95% lower Global Warming Potential compared to the previous refrigerant gas. Aligns with Australian environmental compliance requirements and ESG commitments for commercial operators.
Air-cooled chilling technology chills water without wasting a single litre of water in the cooling process — unlike older water-cooled systems that discharge water to drain. Zero water waste in the chilling cycle.
Boiling water factory-set to 98°C — dispensed through a separate, clearly identified spout. Separate spouts for hot and cold water prevent temperature confusion and cross-contamination risk. The tap body remains cool to the touch via insulation.
Command Centres are available in 60L (residential/small office) and 100L+ (commercial) tank sizes. The 100L commercial unit produces up to 240 cups/hr boiling and 175 cups/hr chilled. Specify the right Command Centre size for your site volume to avoid running cold mid-service.
130+ Zip certified technicians and 350+ service providers across Australia. 72-hour service response target. First-visit fix rate exceeds 90%. Filter replacement, servicing, and certified installation all available nationally.
HydroTap tap heads and mixer taps are available in multiple design styles and premium finishes. Not all combinations are available on all models — contact Industry Kitchens to confirm availability for your preferred configuration.
A Zip HydroTap is an under-bench filtered water system delivering instant boiling (98°C), chilled (3–5°C), sparkling, and ambient water through a benchtop tap. The under-bench Command Centre handles all the work — an immersion element heats the water, a compressor-driven air-cooled system chills it, CO2 carbonates it (on sparkling models), and MicroPurity filters purify everything before it's dispensed. The benchtop tap head is purely the dispensing interface — it contains no heating or cooling components, which is why the tap body stays cool to the touch even when dispensing boiling water.
The 4-in-1 delivers boiling, chilled, ambient (room temperature filtered), and mixed (cold + hot blended to warm) water — four functions from one tap. The 5-in-1 adds sparkling (carbonated chilled) water as the fifth function, requiring a CO2 cylinder in the Command Centre. For hospitality venues serving sparkling as a table water option, the 5-in-1 is the right specification. For staff rooms, offices, and kitchens where sparkling is not required, the 4-in-1 is simpler and has lower ongoing CO2 costs.
The Touch-Free Wave (H5W series) dispenses water by gesture — passing a hand or vessel under the sensor activates flow, with no physical button press required. This makes it the preferred choice for commercial kitchens (hygiene-critical, gloved hands), hospitality front-of-house (fast service), public-access environments (reduced cross-contamination), and accessibility-focused installations. It is available in 4-in-1 and 5-in-1 configurations with Classic, Arc, or Cube mixer tap styles, and includes an Accessible Mixer variant for DDA compliance.
MicroPurity is Zip's 0.2-micron certified filtration system providing 8-in-1 contaminant reduction: microplastics, PFAS, lead, asbestos, sediment, chlorine, bacteria, and cysts (cryptosporidium and giardia). This is the same filtration specification used across all current G5 HydroTap models. The UltraCare variant adds UV disinfection on top of the standard filter for applications requiring additional bacterial protection (aged care, healthcare, remote locations). Filters require annual replacement under typical usage conditions.
Command Centres come in 60L (residential and small office) and 100L+ (commercial) configurations — the tank size determines peak capacity. The 100L commercial unit can produce up to 240 cups of boiling water per hour and 175 cups of chilled water per hour. For a café, restaurant kitchen, or commercial tea room with peak demand of 20+ people, specify the 100L commercial Command Centre. For small staff rooms or domestic use, the 60L is sufficient. Running a 60L unit in a high-demand commercial environment risks depleting the tank mid-service — specify correctly upfront.
Yes — Zip HydroTap is widely used in commercial kitchens, cafés, restaurants, hotels, corporate offices, aged care, and hospitality venues across Australia. For professional kitchen environments, the Touch-Free Wave is recommended for hygiene and speed. Specify the 100L or higher Command Centre for high-volume sites. Zip maintains 350+ service providers nationally with a 72-hour service response target and 90%+ first-visit fix rate — critical for commercial continuity. For venues serving sparkling water to customers, the 5-in-1 BCS model is the appropriate specification.
The Celsius All-in-One (H57) delivers all water functions — boiling, chilled, and sparkling — through a single integrated spout rather than a tap-plus-mixer combination. This eliminates the need for a separate mixer tap alongside the HydroTap, reducing the benchtop footprint to a single tap hole installation. It is suited to smaller kitchens, renovation fit-outs with limited tap holes, or applications where a single streamlined tap is preferred aesthetically. Available in Arc style in boiling/chilled/sparkling (BCS) or boiling/chilled (BC) configurations.
R290 is propane — a natural refrigerant with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just 3, compared to the hundreds or thousands of synthetic HFC refrigerants. Zip G5 HydroTap uses R290, delivering a 95% reduction in GWP compared to the previous refrigerant. For commercial operators with ESG reporting requirements, sustainability commitments, or Green Star rated buildings, R290 refrigerant is relevant to environmental compliance documentation. It also aligns with the Australian trajectory toward phasing out high-GWP refrigerants under international agreements.
Tap head styles are Classic, Arc, Cube, and Celsius. Mixer tap styles include Classic Mixer, Arc Mixer, Cube Mixer, and Classic Accessible Mixer (DDA compliant). Finishes include brushed chrome, chrome, rose gold, brushed rose gold, gold, brushed gold, brushed nickel, matte black, gunmetal, and platinum. Not all finish and style combinations are available across all models — contact Industry Kitchens to confirm availability for your preferred specification before ordering.
