Step  D-  Connecting  the  (Boiling  /  Chilled)  HydroTap  outlet  
Note: Included in the installation pack are adhesive backed silicon buffers. If 
air vents are not installed in the cupboards housing the HydroTap, the buffers 
must be placed on the inside edge of the cupboard door to create a slight gap  
ensuring a minimum airflow. Failure to do this may cause the HydroTap to 
overheat and operate inefficiently.
Model BCH (4-in-1)
Measure and trim the blue tube and connect it to the chilled water outlet 
located on the top front, right hand side of the undersink unit. Use spring 
clamps provided to secure the hose.
Measure and trim the red marked tube and connect it to the hot water outlet 
located on the top centre, right hand side of the undersink unit. Use spring 
clamps provided to secure the hose.
Measure and trim the unmarked tube and connect it to the vent outlet located 
on the top centre, left hand side the top of the undersink unit. Use spring 
clamps provided to secure the hose. 
NOTE: All tubes must have a continuous fall back to the undersink unit.
Connect the tap USB connector to the USB port on the undersink unit. Orient 
the USB plug carefully and connect, do not force the plug. Once connected, fix 
the cable to the wall, ensure it is away from any possible water splashes and 
is off the floor. 
NOTE: When trimming any silicon tubes trim to minimum length, do not loop 
any excess or allow kinking of the tubes. When connecting, slide the tube over 
the pipe at least 25mm. There are black plastic clamps provided on the boiling 
and chilled hoses to choke the flow if required. Only choke the flow if it is 
excessively strong.
Model BH (3-in-1)
Measure and trim the red marked tube and connect it to the hot water outlet, 
on the top of the undersink unit. Use spring clamps provided to secure the 
hose. 
Measure and trim the unmarked tube and connect it to the vent outlet on the 
top of the undersink unit. Use spring clamps provided to secure the hose.
NOTE:  Both tubes must have a continuous fall back to the undersink unit.
Connect the tap USB connector to the USB port on the undersink unit. Orient 
the USB plug carefully and connect, do not force the plug. Once connected, fix 
the cable to the wall, ensure it is away from any possible water splashes and 
is off the floor. Fasten the tap body to the sink using the bolt & plate system 
provided. 
Step E - Connecting an external filter. 
(Not supplied as standard equipment).
To combat the build up of lime scale, a high performance external filter kit 
may be ordered from your Zip service provider. 
NOTE:- When fitted, the external filter will supply filtered water only for the Hot 
tank. The internal filter will continue to supply filtered water for the cold tank.
• The external filter may require the inlet water pressure to be regulated to 
lower than 6 bar. In this case a 3.5 bar Pressure Reduction Valve will be 
required.
