Love the convenience, good service
I've had my Zip for about 5 years and absolutely love it so when the hot water pump failed and I had to go back to using a kettle while waiting for the repairman I was really disappointed (a first world problem I know!).
I have the G4 Boiling/Ambient Residential tap and I find it incredibly convenient to grab hot water into a pot for boiling, ready for pasta or any other dish. Its so much quicker. Also, having clean, filtered water on tap without the chlorine and other nasties is great. The convenience of having it just there near the kitch...Read more
en sink is brilliant. I did learn that its not quite "instant" hot water though as it has a tank for the hot water which you can deplete if you keep running the hot water (to fill up a large pot for example) and then need to wait a little while, while the unit heats up the water again. I'm not sure how big it is but I'd say around 3 litres. Recently, after 5 years of use, I did exactly this, ran the unit until it depleted the water and waited for it to heat up which it sounded like it did but when I pressed the hot water button no water came out. The hot water pump had failed so perhaps running it "dry" may have contributed to its failing? I called service and was informed of the callout fee and was a little concerned that it might be an extremely expensive repair to replace the hot water pump but was happy to learn the repair including callout fee, parts & labour was around $300. The serviceman was prompt, and performed the work quickly.Purchased in November 2021 for $1,600.00.

Useful addition to the kitchen
Good addition to the kitchen it is useful to have 'on tap' boiling water. The cost of the annual maintenance contract is excessive ($3000 over 6 years for an initial outlay of $1800 for the Mini-boil). There is a small design flaw as the pump/motor drive shaft failed twice in 4 years.

ZIP Hydrotap HT1784 Nice, but not that great --- Update: great product, love it
I have been using ZIP hydrotap for about ten years in office, which is impressively good. This is main reason why I chose to get one, HT1784 installed at home during recent Kitchen renovation.
The installation was done yesterday by plumber, and it works ok so far, however, a little bit disappointing since I can feel the noticeable temperature difference of chilled water from my HT1784 and the other zip BC taps in office, which is really chilled, and you can see condensation along the glass and you can feel chilliness through your palm. And chil...Read more

Great...but wish I had a standard spout outlet
I wish I had a separate unfiltered tap spout. The spout doesn't work well for washing out the sink. Insufficient pressure and too small a "column of flow. It needs a standard outlet.
And the filter has already said it needs to be replaced. Three staff and not all using it many times a day.

CAUTION when paying by Credit Card
We have owned a Zip tap for over 15 years, at our last service the service person took a photo of our credit card, front and back, for processing the payment by Zip. 3 days later our credit card was compromised by a number of unauthorized online transactions. 2 weeks after reporting this to ZIP we still have not heard back from them on their privacy policy and how they handle our credit card information - Do not allow them to photograph your CCV.

It really is not the best, the computer overrides a lot and always needing to call a Tec out
The item breaks down a lot
We have to flick the power switch a lot to reset the machine
The Gas Bottles really do not last that long
The Hot Botton freezes and staff can not use the tap

Pump problem
The hydrotap is great and we wouldn't be without it for convenience .We have had the Hydrotap for approx 3 years and in that time we have had three hot water pump motors. What happens when the warranty runs out and the pump may go again ? it appears to me that there is a problem with that particular component

Very good but sometimes unreliable
We actually love the system but it has a tendency to be unreliable at times. It was installed by your people. We had a repair man around who came back about 3 times replaced quite a lot of parts just in the warranty period, came back to check it about a week ago said it had, had a fault on it and would change a part but it was now out of warranty, I phoned the office and explained the situation, the lady said she would contact the manager, but as yet we haven't heard anything. The unit is still working though.

the Hydro tap is wonderful, it is expensive to run. we use it constantly and since I am disabled it saves me from standing for too long. The cold water is also great. Good product

A very convenient and excellent product.
We find the Zip hot and cold water dispenser very easy to use and very convenient. Recently the pump failed which was replaced. So all is good at the moment.
The fact that it filters and provides hot and cold water continually is excellent.

Great we love it
We feel it is very convenient, and use it frequently. We love the chilled water aspect but feel the boiling water only does about 3 cups before needing to refill.

Replacement Tap Three Months Old Faulty
Replacement Chill tap extra installed about three months ago. Already the chill tap is starting to stick in the on position and has to be physically turned off. We fear that it will progressively deteriorate further to the point where it may seize altogether. The $314.55 below represents agreed replacement price.
Purchased in August 2021 at Replacement provided by Zip Bankstown for $314.55.

We can't imagine, living without the ZIP Tap.
We got our ZIP Tap now since over 10 years, and all the necessary maintenance was always done within a short time of notice. We are and were happy with your various technicians.

the most used item in our kitchen
it gets used ALL the time! Only once had to call for service - it required a new solenoid. Had it three years now. Tells you when to replace filter. Great to use boiling water for quickly rinsing knives etc that are used frequently.

Questions & Answers
Ianasked
My Zip HydroTap G4 stopped dispensing water. It is only a chilled filtered unit (product 0014AU). The menu showed filter required changing. I changed filter, and flushed the filter. Everything works except there is no water coming out of the tap (it flushes ok). Unit purchased June 2016 and have previously changed filter without problems. Can someone help please ?

After my submission of this review, in the last a few days I kept wondering how this happened since it seems to me that ZIP product get a quite decent quality. So I kept doing my investigation further... Read more
after setting menu comparisons mentioned above. And guess what I found! Last night I started checking the connections and pipe lines, and surprised at the hot and chilled tubes cable tied together loosely. I assume that plumber tried to do a nice and tidy work, which is nice. However, quite common sense, this would warm up the chilled line. After I cut off the cable tie, I do enjoy my chilled ZIP water now. p.s. As an engineer, I did a little bit further finding this morning this morning. I am surprised that the office ZIP hot/chilled tubes are tied together in a similar way. However, I assume their tube get much better thermal insulation materials. So if ZIP could apply the same or similar material into their residential product line, would be perfect.
