Zip Micro™
Zip Water specializes in the convenient delivery of instant filtered boiling and chilled drinking water to homes and small offices with their patented HydroTap systems. D+I was challenged to create Zip’s smallest drinking water system yet, enabling it to be installed under almost any kitchen bench. The Zip Micro™ drinking water system has been thoroughly redesigned, miniaturized, modernized, and presented in a striking matte black material finish.
Instant. Pure. Water.
Patented technologies applied for pure tasting water
The Zip Micro™ system is 37% narrower than previous models, making it perfect for compact spaces such as residential kitchens and small offices. It incorporates advanced technologies, including PowerPulse® Technology, which ensures precise boiling water temperature control, and Direct Dry Chilling, which is 100% water-efficient. The integrated MicroPurity™ Filtration system enhances water quality by significantly reducing contaminants like chlorine, taste, odor, bacteria, sediment, and limescale, meeting NSF and Watermark standards.
