One tap. Boiling, chilled & sparkling.
The Zip Water HydroTap delivers instant filtered boiling, chilled, and sparkling water from a single designer faucet — you select the state right at the tap. The intelligence hides in an under-counter Command Center. Filtered, elegant, and endlessly convenient.
Transforming the art & science of water since 1947
Founded in Sydney, Australia, Zip Water has spent more than 75 years perfecting drinking-water technology. Today thousands of homes and offices worldwide rely on the HydroTap for filtered, instant boiling, chilled, and sparkling water. In 2017 Zip joined Culligan International, expanding across the US and North America while keeping its Australian design and manufacturing heritage.
Their belief is simple: well-designed, innovative products make an everyday difference to people's health and lives. Say goodbye to boiling water on the stovetop and buying cans of sparkling water — it's water, refreshed.

What makes the HydroTap different from a normal faucet?
A single designer tap delivers filtered boiling, chilled, and sparkling water — you choose the state right at the faucet. The intelligence lives in the Command Center hidden under your counter, which heats and carbonates everything on demand.
Is the water actually filtered?
Yes. Every HydroTap ships with Zip's MicroPurity 8-in-1 filtration, certified to NSF/ANSI standards 42, 53, and 401 — reducing 99.4% of PFAS plus microplastics, lead, chlorine, sediment, cryptosporidium, giardia, bacteria growth, and asbestos.
How is the sparkling water made?
A CO2 cylinder in the Command Center carbonates filtered, chilled water on demand. The CO2 bonds to the water's remaining natural minerals for smooth, balanced bubbles — no cans, no bottles, no plastic.
Does it save space and plastic?
The Command Center tucks discreetly inside a standard cabinet. Because it replaces kettles, bottled still and sparkling water, and countertop filters, it eliminates single-use plastic and runs at 100% water efficiency.
