Thomas Vaughan Ltd, we don't just design kitchens; we design spaces that enhance life, independence, and style. When it comes to one of the most-used appliances in any home—the tap—we often turn to a single solution that meets every brief: the ZIP HydroTap Cube Plus.
This isn't just a tap; it’s an instant hydration system that dispenses filtered boiling, chilled, and sparkling water, all from one sleek, modern spout. And for us, it's a non-negotiable feature in both our luxury kitchen projects and our specialist Accessible Living designs.
💡 Intuitive Design: The Power of One Touch
The most striking feature of the Cube Plus is its effortless control. Forget waiting for kettles to boil, lifting heavy bottles, or struggling with stiff lever taps. The ZIP HydroTap is controlled by a responsive, intuitive pad right on the tap itself.
Our recent short video demonstrates this perfectly:
⚪ A touch turns the tap white for instant Chilled Sparkling Water.
🔴 A touch turns it red for instant Filtered Boiling Water.
🔵 A touch turns it blue for instant Chilled Filtered Water.
This colour-coded, minimal-effort operation is a major win for speed, convenience, and modern aesthetic.
♿ Accessibility Redefined: Safety, Simplicity, and Independence
In our Accessible Living division, the HydroTap is a true game-changer. Accessibility is often about removing barriers and risks, and the Cube Plus excels at both:
Eliminates Risk of Scolding: The boiling water is dispensed with a smooth, controlled flow—no spluttering or spitting steam. Crucially, the spout remains cool to the touch. This makes it far safer than a traditional kettle for users with limited mobility, dexterity, or visual impairments.
Minimal Dexterity Required: The simple tap or press motion to activate water bypasses the need for gripping and twisting, which can be difficult or painful for individuals with arthritis or reduced hand strength.
Space Saving: By integrating three functions into one stylish unit, it frees up valuable counter space, creating a less cluttered and more manoeuvrable environment—a core principle of effective accessible design.
✨ The Cube Plus: Where Aesthetics Meet Technology
The Cube Plus model itself makes a bold statement with its modern, angular design, softened by rounded corners. It delivers on the promise that functional, accessible technology can also be beautiful.
Beyond the tap, the system is powered by the advanced G5 Command Centre, featuring market-leading MicroPurity filtration that filters water down to 0.2 micron. This means every cup of water is healthier and pure-tasting, ensuring your tap delivers not only convenience but genuine wellbeing.
Ready to transform your kitchen with smart, stylish, and truly inclusive hydration?
Whether you are planning a high-end refurbishment or designing an accessible space for enhanced independence, the ZIP HydroTap Cube Plus is the ultimate choice.
