Our take
The Zip HydroTap G5 Celsius Arc (3-in-1) reviewed
By Peter Davelaar, who sold boiling water taps from 2016 to 2024
The Zip HydroTap G5 Celsius Arc is Zip's entry point into the UK domestic market and its most realistic option for a normal kitchen budget. At £2,071 you get filtered boiling water plus standard mains hot and cold through an arc-shaped spout, with the same 0.2-micron filtration that runs across the G5 range.
The filtration carried down from the higher models is the draw. At this price you still get the 0.2-micron filter that Quooker and Qettle do not match, the arc spout is more domestic-friendly than the divisive cube, and the build quality is consistent with the commercial heritage. The 98°C dispense is paired with a 3L tank that suits most family loads, and Zip's UK service network is one of the most mature in the category.
The weakness is what you give up at this price. No sparkling, no chilled, and the boil sits at 98°C rather than a true 100°C. At £2,071 the comparison set includes Qettle's 7L Signature at £945 (which gives you a real 100°C and a much larger tank) and Quooker's Fusion at £1,250 (also 100°C, with the option to add CUBE later). You are essentially paying an £800-plus premium for Zip's filter quality and brand. It makes sense if water taste is your actual priority.
