Sparkling Water Kitchen Taps

Sparkling Water Kitchen Taps

A sparkling water tap puts fizz on tap. You pull the same handle you already use for a glass of water, and out comes something with proper sparkle, which means no bottles crowding the fridge, no crate to haul in from the car, and no soda maker eating half the worktop. One thing worth knowing before you browse, though: sparkling never comes on its own. Every model here does chilled as well, and most do boiling too, so the real question isn't whether to add fizz, it's how many kinds of water you want from a single spout.

What sparkling adds to your everyday water

Carbonation happens right there inside the tap, from a CO2 cylinder stored in the cupboard below, so the fizz level answers to you rather than a factory setting. Turn it down for a barely-there sparkle alongside dinner, or up for something closer to a shop-bought bottle. Because the water's filtered first, what comes out doesn't carry the flat, faintly metallic taste that tap water can pick up if it's been standing, and there's no bottle to open, no crate hauled in from the car, and no separate soda-stream unit hogging a shelf of its own.

Why it's never sold on its own

No product in this range does sparkling water alone. Every model pairs it with chilled water at minimum, and most add boiling too, because once the under-counter unit is already filtering and cooling, carbonating is a straightforward extra job for it to do. That's true of every sparkling tap we stock, not a house preference, so shopping this collection really means choosing how many water types you want from one spout, not choosing sparkling in isolation. If boiling water matters to you as well, boiling water taps covers that function alone or alongside sparkling and chilled; if it's cold water without the fizz you're after, start with chilled water kitchen taps instead.

Who sparkling is for

If your kitchen already gets through bottled sparkling water most weeks, a sparkling tap turns that habit into something built into the plumbing: nothing to carry in, nothing to open, just a twist of the handle for however fizzy you like it. It's the tap for a household that treats fizzy water as a staple, not a treat. If sparkling only gets poured once in a while at yours, the chilled and boiling taps in this range cover your everyday water without an extra CO2 cylinder to keep stocked, so there's no reason to pay for a function you won't reach for often.

Living with a sparkling tap

Choosing sparkling does add one small job to the calendar. The CO2 cylinder empties with use and needs swapping, on top of the filter changes every model in this range already asks for, and how often you do it simply tracks how much fizzy water your household actually drinks. It's a genuine running cost of choosing sparkling, worth knowing about before you check out rather than after, not a reason to look elsewhere if fizzy water is a daily habit at yours. Every model here runs on Zip's HydroTap platform, and if you want the detail on individual cylinder capacities and controls, the Zip HydroTap sparkling range covers that ground directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy a tap that only does sparkling water?

No. Every sparkling tap in this range also delivers chilled water, and most add boiling too, because the way these systems are built makes it straightforward to bundle sparkling in rather than sell it alone. If a stand-alone sparkling appliance is what you actually want, a countertop soda maker is the closer match. A tap always arrives as part of a wider system, so the real choice is which combination of functions you want from one spout.

Are sparkling water taps worth it if you do not drink much fizzy water?

Not especially, if fizzy water's an occasional treat rather than a daily habit. Sparkling adds a CO2 cylinder to keep stocked and a step up in cost over a chilled-only model, for a function you'll reach for rarely. If sparkling water only gets opened once or twice a month in your house, a chilled or boiling tap on its own covers your everyday water for less outlay and less to think about.

What is the difference between a sparkling water tap and a countertop soda maker?

A sparkling water tap is built into your plumbing and carbonates filtered water on demand from the same spout you already use, with the CO2 cylinder tucked out of sight below the counter. A countertop soda maker sits on the worktop, uses its own bottles, and needs filling and pumping by hand every time. The tap trades a manual step and worktop space for a fixed installation and a small running cost instead.

Can I adjust how fizzy the water is?

Yes. The carbonation level's a control on the tap itself, not something fixed at the factory, so you can dial it down for a gentle sparkle or up for something closer to a shop-bought bottle. Most people settle on one setting after a little experimenting rather than adjusting it every time, but the range's there if different people in the household like their water fizzier than others.

Does a sparkling tap filter the water as well as carbonate it?

Yes. Filtration comes first in every model in this range, and carbonation is added afterwards, so what you're drinking is filtered water with fizz, not tap water straight from the mains. That's part of why sparkling from the tap doesn't pick up the flat, faintly metallic taste standing tap water sometimes gets. The filter cartridge itself needs periodic changing, the same running cost every tap in this collection already carries, sparkling or not.

How often does the CO2 cylinder need replacing?

It depends entirely on how much sparkling water your household actually pours, since the cylinder empties with use rather than on a fixed schedule. A household drinking fizzy water daily will swap it more often than one that opens it now and then. Think of cylinder replacement as an ongoing running cost of choosing sparkling, the same way filter changes are a running cost of the tap itself.

Is a sparkling water tap just a boiling water tap with an extra function?

Not quite. A boiling water tap and a sparkling water tap solve different problems, one replacing the kettle and the other replacing bottled fizzy water, using separate mechanisms inside the same under-counter unit. Plenty of taps in this range combine both, but you can also choose a model built around just one, so it's worth deciding which problem you're actually solving before you shop.
