Find the Zip Hydroboil model specified for your project. Compare the current product information and confirm the intended application, capacity and installation requirements. Visit the broader water heater category if you need to compare other product types.
Compare peak demand and recovery
Match the unit to the busiest serving period as well as the total daily demand. The 5 L white epoxy HydroBoil, code 2610008, lists 25–30 cups at one time and an approximate recovery rate of one cup per minute. The 10 L white epoxy model, 2610012, lists 50–60 cups and 1.5 cups per minute. Both use a 167 ml cup reference. Allow for larger mugs or pot filling when discussing capacity; the stated cup count is not a count of every possible serving size.
Plan the power supply and installation space
Confirm the electrical supply before increasing capacity. The 5 L white epoxy model lists a 1.5 kW element and single-phase 220/230 V supply, while the 50 L white epoxy model, 2610018, lists 7.2 kW and three-phase 380/230 V. The 25 L white epoxy unit, 2610016, measures 512 × 265 × 520 mm in width, depth and height. Check the exact model drawing, concealed plumbing and electrical connections, dispensing clearance and service access with the qualified installer.
What is the difference between a two-way tap and two taps?
The 5 L white epoxy listing describes a two-way tap control for cup filling or continuous pot filling. The 25 L and 50 L white epoxy listings specify two taps. Check the chosen model’s dispensing arrangement against the way the unit will be used.
How should I plan filtration and routine care?
The standard HydroBoil listings describe filtration as optional. Ask which filter is appropriate for the selected unit and site water supply, and obtain its replacement and servicing instructions. Keep access to the filter and unit clear, and follow the manufacturer’s cleaning guidance for the selected epoxy or stainless steel finish.



















Use the full model reference when replacing an existing unit or specifying a new one. Record relevant site requirements and ask your installer to confirm compatibility. Request an itemised quote that distinguishes the unit from any separately required installation components.
Keep the existing model reference and compare it with the proposed replacement’s specification. Confirm compatibility and installation requirements before ordering.
Do not assume interchangeability from the range name. Compare the exact specifications and obtain confirmation for the planned application.
