Your Zip HydroTap will notify you when the filter replacement is due. The change filter light will flash white once per minute until the filter has been replaced, and the filter percentage will show 0% on the Home screen.
Step 1: Grab an empty bucket or container to collect the water which will be flushed through the system and an old towel to mop up any spills.
Step 2: Open the filter access door on the front of the HydroTap Command Centre. You will see the filter cartridge in front of you.
Step 3: Reach to the rear right hand side of the cartridge and you’ll find a flush line (looks like a hose) which is around60cm long which will be sealed with a stop cock located in the centre of the hose. Place the free end of the flush line into the empty bucket or container. Turn the stop cock quickly on then off to relieve system pressure.
Step 4: Gently hold the filter cartridge then press the red lever at the top right of the unit and rotate the cartridge a quarter turn to the left. The unit should detach and you should be able to pull it free in a downwards motion. Some water may drip from the cartridge at this point. Be sure to keep the cartridge level to avoid spills.
Step 5: Place spent cartridge in the sink or other suitable container.
Step 6: Unpack your replacement cartridge and remove the sanitary cap. Write today’s date where shown on the label. Ensure you avoid touching the O-rings or filter opening as this can cause bacterial contamination of the cartridge.
Step 7: Slightly moisten the O-rings with regular tap water and line up the front cartridge label to the left.
Step 8: Gently but firmly push the cartridge up into the filter head and turn a quarter-turn to the right – as far as it will go without forcing it. The cartridge should now be locked in position with the front label facing forward.
Step 9: Press the [MENU] button to bring up the main menu on the screen.
Step 10: Press the [Install] button and turn the stop valve ON by rotating the lever clockwise until it is in line with the hose.
Step 11: Press the [Filter Flush] button then press [Start] to begin the process. Ensure you run at least 10-litres of water through to flush the filter of excess black carbon particles.
Step 12: When the filter flush is finished, turn the stock valve OFF by rotating the lever anti-clockwise until it is perpendicular to the hose.
Step 13: Press [Stop] to end the filter flush process.
Step 14: Press the [Home] button to return to the home screen.
Note: If you are carrying out this flush after the HydroTap’s initial installation, the unit will go directly into calibration mode after the Filter Flush Mode is turned off. With any subsequent filter changes the system will automatically revert to the main menu.
Step 15: Dispose of used cartridge and packaging thoughtfully.
Your Zip HydroTap will notify you when the filter replacement is due. The change filter light will flash white once per minute on your tap until the filter has been replaced, and the filter percentage will show 0% on the Home screen. Please use the video below to see how to change your filter on a G5 command center.

Energy modes are used to help the HydroTap G4 save energy. There are two options available: “Sleep” mode and “On/Off” mode.
• In “Sleep” mode the unit will power down after a period of inactivity. You will know the unit is in this mode when the home screen status window says “Sleep Mode”.
• In “On/Off” mode you can set the unit to turn on or off at a particular time.
How to activate “Sleep” modeStep 1: Press the [MENU] button to bring up the main menu.
Step 2: Press the [Setting] button.
Step 3: Press the [Energy Modes] button then press the [Sleep Modes] button.
Step 4: In the “Sleep Modes” screen you will see seven “Sleep Mode” options listed. Use the Up and Down arrows to select the mode you wish to set.
Option1: (2 Hours/68˚C) Boiling water temperature will gradually drop to 68˚C after 2 hours of inactivity but the chiller will remain ON.
Option 2: (2 Hours/OFF) Boiling and chilled water temperature will gradually drop to room temperature after 2 hours of inactivity. The boiler and chiller will remain OFF*.
Option 3: (Lux Sensor/68˚C) Boiling water temperature will gradually drop to 68˚ when the unit senses it has become dark in the room. For more on this option, refer to the Lux Sensor calibration section.
Option 4: (Lux Sensor/OFF) Boiling water temperature will drop gradually to room temperature when the unit senses it has become dark in the room and the boiler will remain OFF*.
Option 5: (Lux or 2Hr/68˚C) When the room becomes dark, Option 3 will be activated. At all other times Option 1 will be automatically activated. For more on this option, refer to the Lux Sensor calibration section.
Option 6: (Lux or 2Hr/OFF) Boiling water temperature will gradually drop to room temperature and the boiler will remain OFF*.
Option 7: (Disable) The “Sleep mode” function will be disabled. If this option is selected and no on/off times are set in the “On/Off” mode, the boiling circuit will be switched ON continuously and the HydroTap will operate 24 hours/7 days.
*Note: If the unit is in OFF mode you can “wake” it up simply by dispensing water. The unit will automatically return to the selected sleep mode after 2 hours of inactivity. You will need to allow enough time for the water to come back to your selected temperature after you “wake” it up.
Lux Sensor calibration
It is a good idea to recalibrate the Lux Sensor once you have selected any of the Lux sensor options from the sleep mode menu. Click here for instructions.
How to activate “On/Off” mode
If you wish to use the “On/Off” mode you must also set your current date and time. Click here for instructions on how to set the date and time.
Step 1: Press the [MENU] button to bring up the main menu.
Step 2: Press the [Setting] button.
• If you have set a password via the security button, you will be prompted to enter it now.
• If you have not set a password via the security button, you will proceed straight to the Settings menu.
Step 3: Press the [Energy Modes] button.
Step 4: To select the on/off mode that suits you best:
Select “Individual set” if you wish to set a specific time for each day. Note: only one On/Off period is allowed for each day.
Or
Select “Group Set 1” if you wish to set the same time for all 7 days of the week.
Or
Select “Group Set 2” if you wish to set the same time for all 5 work days (Monday to Friday) and other times for the weekend (Saturday and Sunday).
Step 5: Use the [On/Off Modes] button to set the on and off times for each day or group of days.
Note: If the unit is in OFF mode you can “wake” it up simply by dispensing water. The unit will automatically return to the selected energy mode after 30 minutes of inactivity.
