The Best Ways to Stay Hydrated this Spring

As we enter Spring and the days get warmer, it’s essential to keep you and your family hydrated. But do you have the best possible tap for your needs?

You see, staying hydrated isn’t just about drinking water; it’s about accessing the best quality water in the most optimal form.

That’s why it’s important to choose a kitchen tap that perfectly suits your needs.

In this article, we’ll compare two popular kitchen taps – the Franke EOS NEO Single Lever Pull-Out Mixer Tap and the Zip HydroTap G5 BC Cube Tap – and unpack each of their respective features to help you choose the best tap for your hydration this spring.

Franke Pull-Out Tap

Perfect for family kitchens.

The Franke Pull-Out Tap is renowned for its convenient pull-out hose that allows you to reach a larger surface area and therefore wash large trays and cookware without unnecessary waste as you try to manoeuvre large objects. Further boosting its efficiency is the tap’s 5-Star WELS rating with 6L/per minute water usage.

It’s also worth noting that its sleek J-shaped, black steel design not only offers a modern look but adds to its functionality. These taps are a great fit for those who prioritise both style and function in their kitchen.

Zip HydroTap

Perfect for busy professionals.

Comparatively, the Zip HydroTap provides instant boiling and chilled water which is perfect for a cup of tea or a refreshing iced beverage and comes in a square, cube-shaped design which, although less versatile in shape, remains highly adaptable.

The Zip HydroTap also has an ever-greater level of water efficiency with three separate energy-saving modes including ON/OFF timers, a 2-hour sleep mode and a ‘Quiet’ mode to avoid unnecessary energy and water waste.

Choosing the Right Tap for You

Ultimately, choosing the right tap depends on your specific needs and preferences. If you’re someone who enjoys cooking and needs a versatile tap for washing cookware, the Franke Pull-Out Tap is probably the way to go. Alternatively, if you value convenience and speed, the Zip HydroTap with its instant hot and cold water might be your go-to choice.

Whichever tap you choose, remember, it’s important to stay hydrated as we head into spring and summer.

Here are some helpful tips for staying hydrated –

  1. Infuse your water: Add slices of fruits like lemon, lime, or cucumber to your water to make it more flavourful and enticing.
  2. Set reminders: Use your smartphone or a timer to remind yourself to drink water at regular intervals.
  3. Limit sugary and caffeinated drinks: Reduce your consumption of sugary drinks and excessive caffeine which can lead to mineral depletion and dehydration.
