Zip Water, a leader in water innovation and part of Culligan International, introduces the new series of Zip HydroTap G5, setting new standards in sustainability and performance.
Zip Water has launched their latest innovation, the HydroTap G5 – their most eco-friendly HydroTap yet[1]. This latest series demonstrates Zip Water’s commitment to transforming water to impact lives and the planet for all.
With 85% of consumers adopting more sustainable practices in recent years, the demand for eco-friendly solutions has never been higher[2].
“Zip Water has always been at the forefront of sustainability in our industry,” said Mike Abbott, Managing Director ANZ, at Zip Water. “Our most eco-friendly HydroTap yet demonstrates our commitment to providing sustainable solutions to our customers.”
During high usage periods, the HydroTap continues to deliver consistent chilled water while enhancing energy efficiency by up to 24%. In standby mode, the HydroTap is 10% more energy efficient while ensuring consistent chilled temperatures on demand.
The latest HydroTap G5 series features an eco-friendlier refrigeration system utilising R290 refrigerant gas – a natural propane known for its low Global Warming Potential (GWP). This transition from the previous refrigerant marks a significant leap in climate-conscious design, enhancing efficiency while complying with forthcoming climate regulations in Australia.
Also introduced is a redesigned front fascia with integrated airflow vents, allowing air to be expelled out of the cupboard more quickly and efficiently. This enhancement in air-cooling technology not only maintains 100% water efficiency but also improves energy efficiency.
Zip Water has consistently championed sustainable practices across its operations and has achieved an Ecovadis Gold sustainability rating for its approach two years in a row. This includes utilising 100% recycled packaging in collaboration with Better Packaging Co and empowering consumers with tools such as the Zip Impact Calculator to quantify the environmental benefits of the HydroTap.
In addition, Zip Water also actively supports ESG initiatives such as the Zip x SOURCE Hydropanels, which supplies clean, safe drinking water to remote communities, of which the recently established Goodooga Central School project is an example, supplying 18,000 litres of clean, fresh drinking water.
As global leaders in drinking water solutions, Zip Water continues to transform water, positively impacting lives and protecting the planet for future generations.
