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

One of the key advantages of Billi Taps over kettles and additional appliances is that they’re designed with advanced features.

How to Choose the Right Office Water Dispenser

Keeping your team feeling refreshed should be a priority for any office environment and should never be taken for granted. Access to water enables your team to feel revitalised and ready for the challenges the workday brings. Otherwise, you risk inconveniencing your team by solely having access to taps that only provide ambient water. When it comes to accommodating your staff, organisations need to find the best water dispenser for their specific needs.

In this helpful guide, we’ll explore all the different types of water dispensers, the individual advantages and what you should consider before choosing the ideal refreshment solution.

Types of Water Dispensers

There are a plethora of options available for water dispensers. From traditional water coolers to three-in-one taps, the experts at the Wellbeing Group have experience and a vast array of choices. Let’s explore all the different options, so you can determine which is right for your work setting.

Bottled Water Coolers

The traditional bottled water cooler is a staple in offices across the UK. This is because of its standard design, accessible functionality and versatility to provide ambient, chilled and even boiling water. As the name suggests, it uses a large water bottle to supply reliable hydration throughout the day. Brands such as Georgia Classic, Alaska Classic and Nebraska Classic are each equipped with their own unique features to cater to different preferences. You can choose from floor-standing and countertop models, beneficial for those who require higher capacity or have limited floor space.

Chilled Water Taps

Advanced chilled water taps conveniently supply chilled, ambient and even sparkling water. They save space as they only require an under-counter unit to provide refreshing beverages. Trusted brands such as Alaska II, Alaska Pro and Vermont offer a range of options in style, functionality and features, catering to everything from small offices to large-scale workplaces. Chilled water taps blend seamlessly with your work setting, beneficial for those who value aesthetics and performance.
