Water, Wellness & Well-Made Design: Elevating Filtration in Our Interiors

In the evolving language of refined interiors, health and aesthetics are no longer separate considerations – they must converge. Recent reports have revealed a sobering truth: our drinking water is not always as pure as it appears. Invisible contaminants, from harmful bacteria and microplastics to PFAS (so-called forever chemicals), are increasingly present in everyday water supplies. This growing awareness places filtration firmly at the forefront of contemporary design thinking; as clients look to their homes for both beauty and peace of mind, designers are trusted to curate solutions that safeguard wellbeing while honouring the design brief. Zip Water demonstrates how advanced filtration can be woven seamlessly into the home, where health-positive function is delivered with the same grace and intention as the surrounding interior.

What Are PFAS, And Why Should We Be Worried?

PFAS are man-made chemicals that resist breaking down in both the environment and the human body. Their resilience is precisely what has earned them the name “forever chemicals”. Exposure to PFAS has been linked to serious health risks, and troublingly, they have been recorded in more than a third of water courses in England and Wales. Even bottled water is not immune, with studies confirming the presence of these same contaminants.

So, what can be done to protect our homes and drinking water? The solution lies in advanced, high-performance filtration. The Zip HydroTap uses 0.2 micron MicroPurity filtration, incorporating triple-action technology certified to reduce the eight most common contaminants found in drinking water – including up to 99.4% of total PFAS. It’s filtration that performs as beautifully as it purifies.

Design as Intent: Place Filtration at the Heart of Experience

As wellness becomes a defining pillar of design, integrating advanced drinking water systems is no longer an afterthought – it is an essential design statement. The HydroTap pairs world-class filtration with aesthetic refinement, offering seven distinctive models and finishes designed to complement any interior scheme.

Picture a wellness-focused home: a brushed-gold HydroTap integrated effortlessly into a contemporary kitchen island, or a sleek all-in-one model taking pride of place over a sink. These taps are not designed to disappear into the background. Instead, they invite touch, encourage ritual, and enhance the daily experience of gathering, preparing, and sharing. They embody a space’s true intent: to enrich, uplift, and bring people together.

Design Moments that Deliver Peace of Mind

Today’s interiors are multi-dimensional: welcoming, efficient, beautiful, and health-conscious. By integrating filtration into design, specifiers and homeowners alike can ensure their spaces don’t just look beautiful – they act beautifully too.

Zip Water’s HydroTap Arc and Cube Plus offer instant access to boiling, chilled, and sparkling filtered water throughout the home. A font drip tray unlocks new possibilities for placement – from the kitchen to home bar, HydroTap expands the boundaries of functional elegance, delivering both peace of mind and performance without compromise.

Water at Its Best, Without Compromise

Bringing filtration into interior settings is more than a matter of health; it is a design decision that shapes how we live. By weaving technology and wellness into the fabric of a space, filtration becomes a narrative thread in purpose-led design, an invisible safeguard expressed through visible beauty.
