filtered water – The Interiors Addict

ZIP Industries have introduced the G4 ZIP Hydro into the Australian market; the only tap in the world able to produce sparkling, boiling and chilled filtered drinking water from one tap.

The integrated new Zip 0.2 micron filtration system removes dirt and contaminants up to 25 times better. Even the taste and smell of chlorine is removed, but fluoride is retained.

Intelligent design coupled with new technology creates a low energy, air-cooled ventilation system with superior performance and better environmental responsibility. The G4 is now even more energy efficient and unlike water-cooled systems, it doesn’t waste water.

Since its introduction over 10 years ago, Zip HydroTap has earned a reputation for unparalleled quality. They’ve confidently extended their warranty to 5 years on the G4.

I noticed a lot of my friends in the UK had these in their kitchens. I want one!

Priced from $2,500. For more information.

There is a serious side to this post where we tell you that Brita has released some pretty handy new appliances. Unsurprisingly in the filtered water category. There’s also a fun side, but we will get to that later.

Firstly, the serious part. Brita has launched its 3 Way Water Filter Dispenser which you can attach to a range of four European designed bench top taps. Your options are Square Neck, Swan Neck, Brita 90 Degree and Brita 45 Degree. Prices start at $379 and top out at $499. It’s a DIY and pretty affordable option. If you buy a lot of bottled water this should pay for itself quite quickly.

The taps connect to the Brita filter below the sink and there is a separate lever for regular tap water and the Brita filtered water. The filter itself is apparently easy to install and requires no additional drill holes or anything messy like that.
