How often do I need a Zip tap filter replacement?

The lifespan of Zip water filters typically varies from 6 to 12 months, depending on your daily water usage. If it's been 12 months since you last had a Zip tap filter replacement, or you notice a decline in the water pressure, changes in taste or odour, or the indicator light on your Zip tap filter system is flashing, now’s the time to replace your Zip filter. Replacing your Zip tap filter regularly ensures that you won't consume high levels of bacteria, which can occur if the filter is used beyond 12 months. Purchase your replacement Zip filters from us to ensure that your filter works effectively every day for safe, clear, fresh drinking water.

Why is the filter light flashing on my Zip tap?

If the filter light flashes every few seconds, this indicates it’s time for a Zip water filter replacement. Since the Zip tap doesn’t know the age of the filter, you need to reset the “Internal Filter” using the underbench unit’s control panel.

What maintenance does my Zip tap require?

Easy, ongoing DIY maintenance will help to keep your system in top shape. All you need to do is:

  • Replace the Zip water filter when the filter-change light turns on.
  • If you have a Zip CO2 cylinder, replace this when the cylinder is empty
  • Every time you change the filter, check the cooling fan air filter screen on the side of the underbench unit is free of dust and lint. If it requires cleaning, we recommend rinsing it under running water, and gently brushing it to remove the dust. Then dry completely using a cloth or paper towel and re-fit to the unit.
  • We also recommend cleaning the Zip tap and unit, using a gentle soap or a non-corrosive cleaner, and be sure to use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the surfaces. Steer clear of using any abrasive cleaning products or materials which could scratch or damage the finish on your Zip tap, and avoid getting any soap between the tap levers as this may affect the internal electronics.

Performing these simple steps is all that’s required to maintain the quality of your Zip tap and water filter system!
