Why do I need a scale filter on a Zip tap?
The water in most parts of the UK is very hard, and in some areas this can even vary according to which reservoir the water is coming from. Any brand of boiling and chilled unit will very quickly scale up if a limescale filter is not fitted, and a failure attributable to scale is not normally covered by warranty.
Do water filters get blocked? Our boiling water flows well but cool just dribbles out.
Yes. As filters catch contaminants, they become soiled. under counter water systems use mains pressure, so reduced chilled water flow indicates you should change filters.
How often should I replace my Zip Tap filter?
We recommend a new filter at least every 6-12 months, depending on usage and water quality.
How do I know when to change the Zip Tap filter?
The droplet icon will flash continually on your Zip Tap system when your water filter needs changing.
Do I need to buy special filters for my under counter water system?
Yes, you should always use the correct filter for your water system. They can be purchased from us by calling 01905 337187 or email sales@thewellbeinggroup.co.uk

How do I work out which Zip Tap system to order?

What is a drainage font?
This is a stainless steel drip tray that is inset into a worktop to allow the boiling and chilled tap to be a stand alone tap away from a sink. It has its own connection to the waste and is often chosen for safety reasons. With each font is a riser of 135mm, which lifts the tap high enough to dispense into a tall glass or jug. It is optional, although some clients choose to situate the tap so it can dispense over an existing sink. Click here to see the fonts we offer for Zip Taps.
What needs to be in place to have a Zip Tap installed?
It’s important to have access to water, waste and electric within one metre of the system, as well as adequate under-counter space to house the command centre with required ventilation. Most offices will have break out kitchen areas where all of this is accessible. Speak to one of our experts who can advise on install process. 01905 337187
How energy efficient is a Zip Tap compared to a kettle?
Zip Taps are 95% efficient at turning electricity into boiling water, making it much cheaper to run than boiling a kettle. Zip taps also create no water waste and the water being dispensed in filtered every time for a cleaner taste and more hygienic water.
Is ventilation required for a Zip Tap?
The under-counter system does not require any additional ventilation where it is place, so no cutting of the cabinet doors for ventilation, meaning it won’t interfere with your kitchen design.
Which worktops can be cut into to install Zip Taps?
Our expertly trained engineers are able to cut into most worktop materials as part of the install process to seamlessly integrate the Zip Tap flush to the surface, however it is always recommended to check with one of our account managers to confirm.

My Zip Tap is not dispensing water, what shall I do?
Firstly, enquire whether the water supply to your building has been interrupted at all, often it could be down to localised water pressure. Next, try checking that the water supply to the Zip under counter unit is turned on. Sometimes this could be isolated by a member of staff by mistake and would prevent the cold water supply reaching the tap. Also, check that the power is turned on, and see if there are any error messages shown on the display screen. If you do have an error message showing on your Zip tap, it may be best to speak to one of our service team on 01905 337187
What does the red flashing boiling light on a Zip Tap mean?
