In order to keep dehydration at bay, it’s recommended that adults consume 6-8 glasses of water each day. But new research suggests the majority of us are falling short of that target.

So, we headed to central London with a hypothesis in mind – could the reason behind this be something to do with the taste of tap water? Indeed, a recent Britvic study found less than a quarter of people love its taste… but what happens if it’s been filtered by a Zip HydroTap?

We spent the day at two London stations – Victoria and Waterloo – to put our theory to the test. Needless to say, the results spoke for themselves.

After tasting two samples – one from a HydroTap and the other from an ordinary tap – the vast majority said our filtered chilled water tasted better and healthier than regular tap water.

Not only that – commuters also said if they had access to filtered water, then they’d drink more throughout the day. For us, that’s a resounding win. HydroTap 1 – 0 regular tap.
