Zip HydroTap
40% more energy efficient than a kettle
Published:  14 September, 2009

Newly commissioned technical research has revealed that the Zip HydroTap, the first tap of its kind in the UK to deliver freshly filtered chilled and boiling water from the same unit, is 40% more energy efficient than a traditional kettle and over 12% more energy efficient than other similar alternatives.

The research, undertaken by Aston University, involved setting up a test rig to operate the appliances over a series of 24 hour periods. The test was designed specifically to simulate everyday family life and therefore based on the usage of each appliance by a family of five in a domestic environment.

 The results showed that the HydroTap used only 2.1kW/hour whereas the kettle used 3.5 kW/hour. Over the course of a whole year this equates to 1,277.5 kW/hour for the average kettle and 768 for the HydroTap - a saving of 509 kW/hour - enough to power a hairdryer non-stop for 42 days!

 HydroTap is part of the Zip Designer Range comprising 4 products:- a boiling and chilled model, a boiling only, a chilled only and an ambient unit.
