Eco friendly appliances from Zip Water

The Australian manufacturer, Zip Heaters, is a world leader in eco-friendly drinking water systems and washroom solutions. With the growing need to save water and energy, Zip promises to revolutionize the way we use water at work and in the home in the 21st century.

The innovative Zip HydroTap® provides an ecologically friendly alternative to traditional kettles and bottled water. The Hydrotap's sleek contemporary stylic and ergonomic design delivers instant boiling and refreshingly chilled filtered drinking water at the touch of a tap. It pays for itself by saving time and money, and the freshly filtered water is also good for your health! It is up to three times more energy efficent than a traditional hot water urn and as efficient as a well-managed kettle. And, unlike kettles, theres no water wastage.

The stylish Zip HydroTap is an elegant addition to any home or ofice kitchen. Unlike a tap, it doesn't have to be installed at your sink. With its unique font, it can be mounted on virtually any bench top where plumbing is available. Better still, the boiling, chilling and filtration unit is installed out of sight under the bench top or sink. The HydroTap was recently nominated as a "design discovery" for 2004, winning an Australian DesignMark at the Australian Design Awards 2004, Australias only national design awards program.

Another award winning, ecologically aware product from Zip is the Zip FlushMaster®, a touch free urinal flushing system that controls the amount of water used for flushing and the time of flushing automatically. It cuts water consumption dramatically by up to 90% wherever wasteful auto cisterns have been in use. By taking control of water consumption out of the hands of users, it makes water usage managable and predictable. The FlushMaster® was named Product of the Year 2003 by GreenPlumbers®, an innovative initiative developed by the Master Plumbers and Mechanical Services Associatin of Australia (MPMSAA). It pays for itself through savings on water consumption and periodic maintenance of cistern mechanisms has an "AAA" Water Conservation Rating from Standards Australia as well as a WaterMark license number, W235.
