Zip Instant Boiling Water Heaters, Boiling Water
Dispensers and Boiling Water Taps - sometimes known in the trades
as "Zippy Heaters" - are the state of the art in safe, energy
efficient Boiling Water Appliances.
Until Zip developed, patented and marketed its instant
boiling water heaters, you always had to wait for water to
boil. Making tea or coffee, at home or at work, began with
the time-wasting, energy-wasting ritual of filling a kettle or urn
with cold water, and bringing it to the boil.
Zip instant boiling water technology soon changed all that.
Now you could have boiling water, instantly, at the touch
of a tap.
No more waiting for water to boil. Touch the tap and out it
poured -- boiling water, a cupful or a pot full at a time.
Launched during the 1980s, Zip instant boiling water became an
instant success. It rapidly replaced power-hungry kettles and urns
anywhere that people made tea and coffee - in offices, factories,
canteens and restaurants. Zip then marketed its energy-efficient
boiling technology globally, appointing regional distributors in
one country after another.
Millions of people world-wide now use a Zip daily for tea,
coffee and cooking. Hospitals in Singapore, naval bases in the
United Kingdom, universities in China, the Sydney Opera House and
Number Ten Downing Street now have one thing in common - all enjoy
the convenience of Zip instant boiling water in their kitchens.
In 1997 Zip Heaters UK acquired Solectra, increasing their
product range to include hot water products for commercial and
domestic applications focusing on point of use electrical water
heaters and other innovative products. Zip Heaters UK Ltd is now
able to offer hot water products with capacities ranging from 5
litres up to 250 litres.
Zip Heaters UK's in-house Technical Service department offers
informative advice, maintenance programmes and an installation
service, when required, covering the whole Zip range throughout the
UK.
