Greener & Leaner

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.

As a well as being quick and convenient, boiling water taps are a greener option as well. Sustainability is becoming increasingly important to businesses so by opting for a tap over a kettle, you’ll be saving energy and also saving yourself money in the long run. Many people are prone to overfilling kettles and they waste water and energy in the process. With a boiling water tap, it makes it simple to pour exactly how much water you like, which reduces waste. They’re more energy-efficient than a kettle and the average daily running cost is around 9p.

Wellbeing Group are a Platinum Partner for Zip Tap systems. This means we’re a fully trained and approved contractor for the supply, installation and service of all Zip Tap products. 

 

Packed with Super Advanced Technology

Power Pulse Boiling Technology

Patented Zip PowerPulseâ„¢ technology is the most efficient way of heating and maintaining set boiling water temperature. Unlike other heating systems, PowerPulseâ„¢ delivers a precise amount of energy to the heating element and this combined with bespoke water circulation technology ensures that the temperature is precisely maintained.

PowerPulseâ„¢ delivers instantaneous small energy bursts efficiently instead of overheating and cooling, which wastes energy and results in boiling water at inconsistent temperatures.

Delivering hotter and more consistent boiling water temperature in every cup of tea or coffee.

Direct Dry Chilling Technology

Our high performance closed refrigeration system has been refined with in-house expertise and experience, which has led to our Direct DryChilling innovation.

A lightweight aluminium MicroChannel Condenser delivers advanced heat transfer capabilities, enabling the system’s overall cooling efficiencies.

Rapid chilling and heat transfer technology delivers perfectly chilled water consistently at the ideal temperature.

Cold Core Compression

A smart shift in our technology resulted in dramatically improved sparkling water, which can only be achieved at lower temperatures.

Chilled water is jetted into the centre of the solid aluminium block to produce irregular atomised particles enabling better carbonation under pressure in the cold, turbulent environment.

We call this our bespoke ColdCore Compression technology, which ensures greater volumes of irresistible lightly sparkling water for you to enjoy instantly.

The versatility of a Zip Tap

It’s not only the boiling aspect to consider when you consider how a Zip Tap could save you money. They are practical and versatile, offering instant boiling, chilled and sparkling water, removing the need to spend money on other appliances like water coolers, since a Zip Tap does the job of a water dispenser and a kettle, which also frees up more space and creating a less cluttered office environment.

A Complete Guide to Zip Taps

Workplace kitchens continue to evolve and prioritise functionality and modern convenience.

  • Faster access to hot drinks
  • Improved energy efficiency

Which Zip Tap is Suitable for Your Office?

Choosing the right Zip Tap depends on several practical considerations, including the number of employees, peak usage times and the available kitchen space.

Smaller offices with fewer staff members may only require a compact boiling and chilled water system for basic daily use. Medium-sized workplaces often benefit from combination systems that can comfortably handle higher demand during breaks and meetings. Larger offices, customer-facing environments and multi-floor workplaces may require higher-capacity or industrial Zip systems designed for continuous use throughout the day.

Before choosing a Zip system, consider the following in your workplace:

 

  • Daily demand for hot drinks
  • Number of kitchen or breakout areas
  • Whether sparkling water is required
  • Available under-counter space
  • Future office growth
  • Staff wellbeing priorities
  • Visitor and client usage

Zip Tap Installation

Our team specialises in professional Zip Tap installations carried out by trained engineers who are knowledgeable, helpful and committed to providing ongoing aftercare support. The installation process is straightforward and includes compatibility assessments, electrical connection setup, system testing and full operational guidance to ensure everything runs efficiently from day one.

Energy Use & Running Costs Explained

Zip Taps are designed to be far more energy efficient than repeatedly boiling kettles throughout the working day. Traditional kettles often heat more water than necessary, resulting in wasted electricity and unnecessary water usage. For offices focused on sustainability, Zip Taps provide an efficient solution that can help reduce energy consumption, minimise waste and improve productivity during busy periods.

Renting vs Buying

Businesses can either purchase a Zip Tap outright or choose a rental or lease option, depending on their budget and operational preferences. Buying can be beneficial for businesses looking for full ownership with lower long-term costs. While renting can be advantageous in terms of paying lower initial costs, planning their budgets and maintaining flexibility for future upgrades.
