The Zip guide

to boiling, chilled
and hot water
 Introduction

Every working day in the UK over eight million cups of tea and
coffee are made using Zip instant boiling water products. The launch
of Hydroboil into the UK market in the late 80s revolutionised boiling
water delivery in the workplace and brought new levels of efficiency,
safety and user satisfaction to commerce, industry and the public
sector. Today instant boiling water is firmly established as the
workplace norm with Zip the clear market leader.

More recently Zip HydroTap systems have brought further innovation

to the market with under counter units providing instant delivery of
filtered boiling and chilled water through easily accessible counter
mounted taps.

Zip also offers a comprehensive range of top quality, value for

money commercial electric water heating products - both vented and
unvented - from 5 to 250 litre capacity. This is augmented by a range
of instantaneous water heaters and a wide selection of water chillers.

The Zip range is in daily use in tens of thousands of locations

throughout the UK including the Houses of Parliament, numerous
Blue Chip Companies, Hospitals, Schools, Military Establishments
and HM Prisons.

All products are available nationally through electrical wholesalers

and plumbing merchants.

Temperature Settings Venting

On installation, to suit user
needs, the boiling water
temperature can be adjusted
from 98˚ to 68˚C.
Installation
The tap should be positioned
either adjacent to a suitable sink
or on a Zip Tap Font - for details
see page 13. For sink use the
tap should be mounted so that it
will dispense into the sink.
The undercounter boiling and
chilling unit should be located, if
possible, directly beneath the tap
and not more than 1 metre away.
It must be installed with
clearances of 50mm left and
right and 65mm at rear.
Plumbing
The water supply must be
potable (drinkable).
If static pressure exceeds 7 bar,
a pressure reducing valve must
be fitted. An isolating valve
should be installed between the
water supply and the under-
counter unit.
Drinking water
The cupboard containing the
boiling and chilling unit must
be amply ventilated: cupboard
doors must be offset all round
for ventilation, using buffers
provided and the vent fitted.
Electrical
To be wired to a double pole
switched fused spur with a
minimum break capacity of 13

with current IEE regulations.
Caution
In some hard water areas where
mineral scale accumulation may
be an issue, consideration should
be given to the maintenance
required and the use of the Zip
Scale Management System
( page14). For further clarification
call 0845 602 4533.

Energy Conservation

A choice of two programmable energy saving modes –

• Integral 24 hour 7 day timer enables the boiling and chilled
water units to switch off automatically during known periods of
inactivity e.g. overnight or weekends but return to full
functionality ahead of the next expected demand.
• Inactivity sleep mode enables the boiling water unit to power
down automatically following a period of 2 or 4 hours non-use.
This allows the water temperature to gradually reduce to 65˚C,
at which it is maintained. Upon further draw off boiling resumes.

Energy Conservation
A choice of two programmable energy saving modes –

• Integral 24 hour 7 day timer to enable the boiling and chilled

units to switch automatically off during known periods of inactivity
e.g. overnight or weekends but return to full functionality ahead of
the next expected demand.
• Inactivity sleep mode enables the boiling water unit to power
down automatically following a period of 2 or 4 hours non-use.
This allows the water temperature to gradually reduce to 65˚C,
at which it is maintained. Upon further draw off boiling resumes.

Quicker to install – no cold water storage cistern.
High performance showering, fast filling baths.
Balanced hot and cold water supplies.
No special taps required.
