Water is the most consumed material in any home 
and the least examined. That is changing quickly, 
and the conversation has moved past taste to com-
position. PFAS and microplastics have entered the 
vocabulary of homeowners who a decade ago asked 
only whether the water was cold enough.
Zip Water has been working on this since 
1947, when it was founded in Australia, and its 
HydroTap range is now trusted in more than 70 
countries. The newest expression is the Arc Plus, 
which reimagines the traditional gooseneck as a 
spare architectural silhouette. Advanced filtration 
reduces up to 99 percent of PFAS and microplas-
tics, and the tap delivers filtered water instantly in 
three configurations: chilled and sparkling, boiling 
and chilled, or all three together.
The practical effect on a kitchen is significant. One 
fixture replaces the kettle, the sparkling machine, 
the filter pitcher, and the standing case of bottled 
water. A household’s reliance on single-use plas-
tic drops without anyone having to make a daily 
decision about it. The system runs energy-saving 
modes during periods of inactivity, and the boiling 
configuration includes a safety lock, which matters 
in a house with children.
It is also, quite simply, beautiful. The Arc Plus 
is offered in polished nickel, chrome, brushed 
chrome, matte black, brushed gold, brushed nickel, 
and gunmetal at 15.2 inches tall, and can be spec-
ified with a design drip tray or installed as a sec-
ondary tap over an existing sink. 
As if it couldn’t get any better, Zip integrates seam-
lessly with whole-home water filtration, extend-
ing the same level of care beyond the kitchen and 
throughout the home. It’s a thoughtful, fully con-
nected approach that ensures better water at every 
touchpoint, and gives homeowners one less thing 
to think about.
