What the Zip HydroTap G5 BCHA Celsius Plus Pull-Out Is Best Known For

The Zip HydroTap G5 BCHA Celsius Plus Pull-Out is best known for combining filtered drinking water and normal kitchen mixer water in one premium pull-out tap.

It delivers:

boiling filtered water
chilled filtered water
hot unfiltered washing-up water
cold unfiltered washing-up water
pull-out sprayer convenience

This makes it a smart choice for homeowners who want a cleaner bench layout without installing a separate filtered water tap beside a standard kitchen mixer.

Boiling Filtered Water

The boiling filtered water function is ideal for tea, coffee, cooking, food preparation and everyday kitchen use.

Instead of waiting for a kettle, the HydroTap gives you instant access to boiling filtered water from the tap. This is especially useful in busy homes where hot drinks, cooking water and food preparation happen throughout the day.

The system includes boiling water safety settings, so correct setup and user handover are important.

Chilled Filtered Water

The chilled filtered water function gives you cold drinking water without needing bottles, filter jugs or fridge-stored water.

For family homes and entertaining kitchens, this makes everyday drinking water easier and helps reduce fridge clutter. It also gives the kitchen a more premium feel because chilled filtered water is always available from the tap.

Hot and Cold Unfiltered Washing-Up Water

The BCHA Celsius Plus All-In-One Pull-Out also works as a normal kitchen mixer.

The lever dispenses unfiltered hot and cold water for washing up, rinsing, cleaning and general sink use. This means the tap can replace a standard kitchen mixer while still providing premium filtered boiling and chilled water through the HydroTap controls.

Hot and cold water supply is required for this model.

Integrated Pull-Out Sprayer

The pull-out sprayer is the key feature that separates this model from fixed all-in-one HydroTap designs.

It gives the tap extra reach and flexibility for everyday kitchen use. This is useful for:

rinsing plates
washing vegetables
cleaning the sink
filling larger pots
reaching around wider sink bowls
rinsing trays and cookware
cleaning island bench sink areas

For busy kitchens, the pull-out function makes the tap feel more like a practical everyday mixer rather than just a premium filtered water tap.

No Sparkling Water or CO₂ Cylinders

The Zip HydroTap G5 BCHA Celsius Plus Pull-Out does not include sparkling water.

That makes it a better fit for homeowners who want boiling and chilled filtered water, but do not need sparkling water on tap. There are no CO₂ cylinders to manage, which keeps ongoing ownership simpler than a BCSHA model.

If sparkling water is important, the Zip HydroTap G5 BCSHA Celsius Plus Pull-Out is the better comparison.

Under-Bench Command Centre

The Zip HydroTap G5 BCHA Celsius Plus Pull-Out uses a single under-bench command centre to manage the boiling, chilled and filtered water functions.

The command centre includes a full-colour interactive touch screen, PIN code protection, customisable settings, boiling water safety mode, energy-saving modes, ON/OFF timers, 2 hour sleep mode and quiet mode operation.

Cabinet space, ventilation, power, water supply, drainage and future servicing access all need to be planned before installation.

Zip HydroTap G5 BCHA Pull-Out vs BCSHA Pull-Out

The Zip HydroTap G5 BCHA Pull-Out provides boiling and chilled filtered water, plus hot and cold unfiltered mixer water.

The Zip HydroTap G5 BCSHA Pull-Out adds sparkling filtered water.

The BCHA model is the better fit when you want:

boiling filtered water
chilled filtered water
normal hot and cold mixer water
pull-out sprayer convenience
no sparkling water
no CO₂ cylinders
simpler ongoing ownership
a premium all-in-one kitchen tap without extra sparkling components

The BCSHA model is the better choice when sparkling filtered water is a priority.

Zip HydroTap G5 BCHA Pull-Out vs Standard Celsius Plus All-In-One

The standard Zip HydroTap Celsius Plus All-In-One provides filtered and mixer water from one tap, but it does not include the same pull-out sprayer functionality.

The BCHA Celsius Plus Pull-Out is the better fit when you want:

one tap for filtered and washing-up water
boiling and chilled filtered water
normal hot and cold washing-up water
extra reach for rinsing and cleaning
a practical family kitchen tap
a premium island bench solution
a cleaner look with fewer separate taps

The standard all-in-one model may suit kitchens where pull-out functionality is not required. The pull-out version is better when everyday sink use and cleaning flexibility matter.

Zip HydroTap G5 BCHA Pull-Out vs Classic HydroTap BC

A Classic HydroTap BC provides boiling and chilled filtered water from a dedicated HydroTap, but it does not replace the main kitchen mixer.

The Zip HydroTap G5 BCHA Celsius Plus Pull-Out is different because it combines the HydroTap and mixer functions into one tap.

The BCHA Pull-Out is the better fit when you want:

one tap instead of two
filtered boiling and chilled water
normal hot and cold washing-up water
pull-out sprayer convenience
a cleaner bench layout
a premium kitchen renovation finish

A Classic BC setup may still suit kitchens where a separate mixer and HydroTap layout is preferred.

Zip HydroTap G5 BCHA Pull-Out vs Standard Kitchen Mixer

A standard kitchen mixer is cheaper and simpler, but it only provides hot and cold tap water.

The Zip HydroTap G5 BCHA Celsius Plus Pull-Out is a major upgrade because it adds boiling and chilled filtered water while still functioning as a kitchen mixer.

A standard mixer is best for basic sink use. The Zip HydroTap G5 BCHA Pull-Out is better for homeowners who want filtered boiling water, chilled drinking water and mixer functionality in one premium tap.

Installation Requirements

A Zip HydroTap G5 BCHA Celsius Plus Pull-Out installation needs proper planning.

The system requires:

suitable mains electrical supply
hot and cold water connections
drinking water connection
wastewater drainage
under-bench cabinet space
ventilation cut-outs
filter access
room for future servicing
correct tap and sink positioning
suitable bench material for drilling

Because the HydroTap is air-cooled, cabinetry ventilation is required. Most benchtop installations are straightforward, but stone benchtops may need specialised cutting. Hard water areas may also need additional scale filtration to help protect the system.

🚫 Unnecessary Additives and Contaminants in Water

Parameter	Why It’s Unnecessary or Harmful	Ideal Target
Fluoride (F⁻)	Added for dental health, but prolonged fluoride exposure has been linked to lower IQ in areas with high fluoridation, as suggested by multiple studies (e.g., 2019 U.S. and Canadian research). Excessive fluoride may also contribute to thyroid dysfunction and bone weakening.	0 mg/L
Chloride (Cl⁻)	Often present due to chlorine disinfection or natural sources. High levels can cause a salty taste and corrosion in plumbing.	< 50 mg/L
Copper (Cu)	Comes from corroding pipes rather than natural water sources. High levels cause a metallic taste and potential health effects.	< 0.5 mg/L
Manganese (Mn)	Naturally occurring but contributes to staining, metallic taste, and potential neurological effects at high levels.	< 0.05 mg/L
Iron (Fe)	Can come from plumbing or groundwater. Causes staining, bad taste, and appliance buildup.	< 0.1 mg/L
Nitrate (NO₃⁻)	Usually from agricultural runoff. Long-term exposure is linked to potential health risks, including "blue baby syndrome" in infants.	< 1 mg/L
Sulphate (SO₄²⁻)	Naturally occurring but excessive amounts can have a laxative effect and cause water to taste bitter.	< 50 mg/L
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)	Measures the overall mineral content. Too high can cause taste issues and appliance scaling.	50 - 150 mg/L
Turbidity (Cloudiness)	Should be as close to 0 as possible for clean, pure water.	< 0.5 NTU
Silica (SiO₂)	Naturally occurring, but excessive levels can lead to scale buildup on appliances.	< 10 mg/L

✔️ Naturally Present & Beneficial Elements in Water

Parameter	Why It’s Okay	Ideal Range
pH	Best when neutral for taste and plumbing safety.	7.0 - 7.5
Alkalinity	Helps stabilize pH and prevent pipe corrosion.	60 - 80 mg/L
Hardness (Calcium & Magnesium)	Essential minerals for health, but excessive hardness causes scaling.	60 - 120 mg/L
Sodium (Na)	Naturally occurring but should be kept low for health and taste.	< 50 mg/L

🌊 Summary: How to Improve Your Water Quality

🔹 Remove fluoride completely to avoid potential cognitive effects and thyroid risks.
🔹 Reduce chlorine and chloride for better taste and less corrosion.
🔹 Minimize heavy metals like copper, iron, and manganese for purity.
🔹 Lower TDS slightly to improve taste and appliance longevity.

Copper (Cu)	Exceeds safe limit. Likely from corroding pipes or roofing. High levels can cause metallic taste and health risks.	< 0.5 mg/L
pH (Acidic Water)	Slightly too low. Acidic water can cause pipe corrosion and leach metals like copper into the water.	6.5 - 7.5
Alkalinity	Low alkalinity can make water unstable and prone to pH fluctuations.	20 - 50 mg/L

Home and Plumbing Impacts

🔹 Total Hardness (8 mg/L in rainwater): Extremely soft water, which can be corrosive to pipes, leading to potential metal leaching from plumbing.

🔹 Iron & Manganese (Rainwater: Iron 0.03 mg/L, Manganese 0.009 mg/L): Low but can cause sediment buildup over time if not filtered.

🔹 Copper (2.24 mg/L in rainwater): High levels may indicate corrosion in metal roofing or pipes, leading to health and plumbing concerns.

Should You Use a Water Filtration System?

For both mains and rainwater users, filtration is essential to ensure clean, safe drinking water. Here’s what we recommend:

✅ For Rainwater Users:

Puretec Hybrid G Series: Great for sediment, bacteria, and chlorine removal (if rainwater is treated).
Puretec Reverse Osmosis (RO) System: Removes copper, fluoride, and dissolved contaminants.
Puretec Filter Wall System: A high-flow system for whole-house filtration.

✅ For Mains Water Users:

Puretec X3 or Z1 Series: Best for drinking water filtration.
