Zip Water Hose Management System

The Zip HydroTap Celsius Plus All-In-One Pull-Out Tap seamlessly fuses modern aesthetics, innovative engineering, and state-of-the-art technology in a beautifully integrated arc design. Celsius Plus is a world-first in functionality and convenience, eliminating the need for additional taps by delivering five water types - filtered boiling, chilled, sparkling, and unfiltered hot and cold water. The introduction of a pull-out hose sprayer required seamless integration with Zip’s under-bench HydroTap G5 technology, necessitating the development of a patentable, snag-free under-bench mechanical hose management system. This unique hose sprayer enhances kitchen versatility, simplifying daily tasks like food preparation and cleaning. Meeting these challenges demanded a deep understanding of use-case requirements, ergonomic principles, an iterative mechanical development and testing process, resulting in a design optimised for mass manufacture.

The Celsius Plus system achieves a world-class fusion of form and function, representing a high-value solution. The development of the snag-free under-bench hose management system posed a significant engineering challenge. Crafting a mechanism that not only retracts effortlessly but also eliminates the risk of snags required meticulous design considerations. The confined space under the sink, a realm notorious for its limitations, demanded a compact, efficient design. This challenge was met through a combination of innovative mechanical engineering and precise dimensioning, ensuring that the hose management system fits perfectly within the constrained enclosure, guaranteeing snag-free operation. The development has generated protectable intellectual property in its mechanical under-bench hose management system, enhancing Zip's commercial portfolio and stance as one of the markets category leaders.

At the core of the Zip HydroTap Celsius Plus All-In-One Pull-Out Tap lies an ingenious solution — the patented snag-free under-bench hose management system. This meticulously engineered mechanism brings an innovative edge to Zip Water’s kitchen tapware solutions. Designed to ensure a seamless user experience, the hose management system is optimised to fit snugly under the sink, conserving valuable cupboard space. Through ingenious mechanical design, the hose reel accommodates the pull-out hose sprayer, granting unrivalled flexibility for daily tasks like food preparation and cleaning. This breakthrough design surpasses conventional expectations with a smooth glide, representative of Zip Water's commitment to redefining functionality while maintaining an uncluttered kitchen benchtop aesthetic.
