3-in-1 Boiling, Chilled, and Sparkling Water Taps

Three-in-one taps offer filtered instant boiling, chilled, and sparkling water all from one tap. The tap is separate from your main kitchen mixer tap and is installed either over your sink to the side or on a bench top as a stand-alone kitchen appliance.

Under the sink, your mains cold water line is connected to the appliance, and the water is fed through an internal water filter and through the chiller or boiler, giving you the instant filtered water of your choice. Whether boiling, chilled or sparkling water. The chiller also has a feature that when sparkling water is required, CO2 is injected into the water giving you instant sparkling water on tap.

Both Billi and Zip offer the best in technology and design. Instant boiling, chilled, and sparkling water taps are complex appliances with electronic components that have taken years to perfect. Both are Australian made, watermarked to Australian standards and there’s a reason they are highly sought after from around the world and now both export globally.

Zip and Billi have a range of products suitable for homes or small offices. The Billi Eco Sparkling is great value and comes in a clean line dual levered tap with many colour options available.

Zip has recently introduced their design range of taps, adding to their traditional Classic style tap, they now offer the Arc, Cube, and Elite tap styles. Also available in many colour options and have an optional stylish circular drain font kit for on-bench installations.

Both Zip and Billi have an on-bench drain font kit and tap riser for on-bench installations. The tap needs to sit higher in order to get a jug underneath it as it won’t have the under space that a sink mount would have.

Billi has a rectangular shaped drain font kit and Zip have a stylish circular one. Ensure you also consider the height of your tap and purchase a tap riser along with it.

Quite often it comes down to the style of tap you prefer when choosing the right brand for you. Both Zip and Billi are exceptional brands and equally come highly recommended.

Yes. We understand that you may form an attachment to your new appliance and it’s as easy as pulling out the system, installing it into your new home and filling the hole left behind.

You could either cover the hole with a chrome plated disk which looks like a button on your sink, or install a standard water filter system with a separate tap such as the Aquakleen Ezi Twist Twin so there is still a kitchen feature, just not your treasured boiling, chilled, and sparkling tap.

Yes. All of the Billi and Zip boiling taps have a boiling safety feature which requires you to press two features on the tap at once to dispense boiling water. This makes it difficult for young children or the elderly to accidentally burn themselves. This can be enabled or disabled at any time.

You can adjust the level of C02 entering the system using the feature on the side of the tap.

Zip offers a three-year warranty with a five-year warranty on the tank. Billi offers a two-year warranty with warranty extensions available.

Much like a car, over time various parts do wear out and require maintenance and repair. On average, you should expect a good eight years or more from your appliance before you need to consider a replacement. Remember, these are highly technical, electronic kitchen appliances with many moving parts. Once they age past eight years old, you may find the costs of repair outweigh the benefits of replacing it with a new one. After that time there is sure to be more advanced models offered on the market as well.

Both the Zip and Billi filter taps come with a water filter that can reduce chlorine, cysts, heavy metals, sediment, rust, and bad tastes and odour. All the water from your boiling, chilled, and sparkling tap will be filtered.

If you want additional fluoride reduction, you can install our Aquakleen Twin Fluoride as a pre-filter system to any Zip or Billi tap.

Both Zip and Billi residential boiling, chilled, and sparkling taps come with a 1 kilogram CO2 bottle and Zip commercial sparkling systems come with a 2.6 kilogram refillable CO2 bottle. You can also upgrade your system to a larger CO2 bottle size if you need a lot of sparkling.

As a rough guide, 1 kilogram CO2 bottle should give you around 166 litres of sparkling water, a 2.6 kilogram bottle will produce 433 litres, and 6 kilogram bottle will give you 1,000 litres.

You should change filters every 6 to 12 months and these cost from $156 to $245 depending on the model, and the quality of your water. Replacement 1 kilogram CO2 canisters come in twin packs for both Zip and Billi systems, and cost around $175. Replacement filters and CO2 bottles can be purchased through our online store.

If you want, you can change your filters and CO2 bottles yourself. Otherwise, you can have a technician do it for you, whichever you prefer. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines when changing them over to ensure they are replaced in line with their recommendations.

Sparkling water needs to be chilled to be most effective. Neither Zip or Billi boiling, chilled, and sparkling taps have an option for room temperature sparkling water.
