We know, life gets busy. You might be working at home and stuck in back-to-back meetings, or perhaps you’ve got a newborn and all their needs are now yours. Stuck on a movie marathon and haven’t moved from your seat? Whatever your plans, make staying hydrated simpler with Zip taps! In this piece, we compare two Zip taps to help you navigate the tap buying journey.
Why Zip Taps?
Known for their innovative, high quality and durable build, Zip taps are more than just your regular water tap. Zip taps offer convenient water access, typically with a filtered water option (ambient/chilled/boiling) for instant hydration. With a Zip tap, you can say goodbye to buying bottled water and your trusty, old kettle.
Did You Know?
Aside from instant, filtered chilled and boiling water that Zip taps are famous for, some taps even boast instant sparkling water.
Zip Taps Meet Every Need
Whether you’re in need of filtered cold or boiling water, your every hydration need can be met. For example, brewing tea or coffee first thing in the morning, making a sweet cordial drink or lemon water for the kids or quickly making soup as a pre-dinner snack, Zip taps will be there all the way.
MEET THE ZIP TAPS
Get to know more about Zip taps as we outline and compare two different models below.
