Cleaning
Do not use strong, corrosive, spray or abrasive cleaners. Clean with a soft
cloth or brush and mild soap and water.
Do not spray water over the tap as it may damage the low-voltage
electronics.
Undersink units must never be cleaned with water jets.
The Zip HydroTap timer is set to remind you to replace your filter every 9
months. When a filter change is due, the Change Filter light will come on and
remain on until reset.
Depending on local water quality conditions and usage, the filter may require
changing every 6 to 12 months. You may also need to replace the filter if you
notice unpleasant odours or tastes, or if the flow rate of the tap is slow.
Some water may drip from the filter head (socket) during replacement. Keep a
bucket and towel handy to catch drips and mop up any spills.

supply.
