HydroTap: for hydration anywhere in the office

As office design changes, and more focus is placed on employee wellbeing, mindful spaces, and flexibility, the importance of providing the right office essentials for your workforce cannot be overstated. 

At Zip Water, we understand the importance of workplace design, and the role it plays in productivity and employee wellbeing. In our experience, office spaces all face unique challenges in design – from limited space, to a lack of cohesion. Often in the planning phase you are juggling desk space with breakout rooms, break areas, and necessary amenities – all while considering deadlines and building schedules. 

Though there is no one-size-fits-all solution, there are certainly ways to save time in the planning, installation, and refurbishment phases. As the experts in workplace hydration, we know how important it is to consider a drinking water solution in any new or refurbished office space. But it doesn’t have to take up any unnecessary space, or even require a sink! 

Which HydroTap is right for you?

The flexible installation options for HydroTap in an office save space, whilst still providing instant filtered chilled, boiling, and sparkling water for employees. 

For offices with limited kitchen space

Where an office has a dedicated kitchen area, but limited countertop space, an option for your HydroTap is a model which dispenses unfiltered hot and cold water, as well as filtered chilled, boiling, and sparkling. The HydroTap all-in-one Classic Plus model means employees can still use the sink for handwashing and rinsing, but can also enjoy filtered chilled, boiling, and sparkling water. The command centre sits under the sink, and can provide up to 240 boiling cups and 175 chilled cups per hour.

For offices with a large workforce over a large space

Depending on the size of the building, you may have multiple floors, with separate kitchenette areas, or you may have one large kitchen or bistro space, but a large number of staff. In these cases, why not think beyond a sink? With HydroTap installation on a drip tray, you can provide drinking water across an office, without the need to install over a sink. This saves space, while providing employees with filtered drinking water throughout the day. A model such as the HydroTap Classic Plus is the perfect space-saving solution that helps keep hydration at hand, saving valuable time.

For offices with a high traffic kitchen 

At busy times, some office kitchens become pinch points, and often at points during the working day, the space around the kitchen sink can become crowded. A great solution to this issue is to install HydroTap on a drip tray in the kitchen, but away from the sink. As the HydroTap can be installed away from the sink, it keeps this space clear for any washing and rinsing, whilst providing filtered chilled, sparkling, and boiling water nearby. In our experience, many offices opt for this solution to provide a more coherent flow to the kitchen space. 

Other options for this type of installation are the touch-free, accessibility, UltraCare, or industrial models, providing a plethora of benefits for specific business requirements.
