More than 1200 companies, including some of Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom’s largest corporate offices, hotels, hospitals and aged care facilities, have registered interest in Zip Water’s HydroTap Touch Free Wave following a landmark launch last month. Among those 1200 companies, hundreds of orders have already been secured for the company’s latest product, set for first installation in December.
In a quick-thinking pivot, Zip Water invented the HydroTap Touch Free Wave earlier this year to meet shifting global customer demand brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. The innovative product is a contactless version of the company’s signature HydroTap, using in-house proprietary sensor technology to dispense instant filtered boiling, chilled and sparkling water all from the one system touch-free.
With contactless COVID-safe workplaces set to become the norm internationally, Zip Water identified this growing trend early to quickly deliver its solution to the market. Zip Water Marketing and Strategy Director, Mike Abbott, says that interest following the launch of the HydroTap Touch-Free Wave exceeded expectations.
“Back in April, we started to receive enquiries from some of our existing domestic customers asking whether we offered a contactless version of our HydroTap. When we received requests from our two key domestic specifiers in New South Wales and Queensland, who said many Australian workplaces were approaching them for contactless solutions, we knew we had to get something to market quickly. In response we conceived, designed and developed the HydroTap Touch-Free Wave.
“The HydroTap Touch-Free Wave will be rolled out to other international markets throughout 2021, and we expect to see significant global demand for the product,” said Mr Abbott.
Zip Water is manufacturing the HydroTap Touch-Free Wave out of its factory located in Condell Park, Western Sydney. This gives the company complete in-person oversight of every stage of the product design and manufacturing process.
Zip Water’s HydroTaps are prevalent in many workplaces across the globe, due to the convenience they provide through instantly available boiling, chilled and sparkling water, and their contemporary design appeal.
