When you begin to consider a water filtration system for your home, there are a lot of types, choices, and kinds of water filters. It is easy to become overwhelmed. However, luckily for most residential lients, there are two primary choices that often work for most people. Both zip taps and billi taps have their advantages and individual quirks, and understanding what both systems can do for your home is critical when making your final choice.

Both billi and zip taps are made by large companies with many years of experience in providing clean and safe water for homes and businesses. There are many similarities between the two brands of taps, there are a few notable differences between each water filtration system. As with any other type or brand of water filtration, there are several factors that come into play: size and cost of the system, cost of maintenance and filter replacement, chilling and boiling capacity, warranties, and customer support.

Considering zip versus billi taps, the standard version of both systems have a submicron filter that filters out a wide range of minerals and debris. You can clear your home’s drinking water of dirt, sediment, bad odor and taste, particules, cysts, and chlorine. There are limitations on capacity from system to system, whether it is a zip or billi tap. The size of the system that you choose will be dependant on the needs of the property, whether it is your home kitchen or office kitchen, as well as budget.

Both billi and zip taps offer customers the option for chilled, sparkling, boiled, and plain water. While zip taps are created by a larger company, the size of the company rarely, if ever, dictates the quality of a product. Products like the zip hydroboil have years-long warranties and exceptionally after-sales support. Warranties differ between companies, as do products, capacity, and design. In summation, while zip taps may have a longer warranty and billi taps are said to have better customer service, the tap itself, the capacity and products, are going to be the final factor for most customers.

Zip and billi taps both have functional and design advantages and disadvantages pertaining to your personal needs. You need the right capacity, the right filtration speed, and understand which type of tap is best for you. It may not always hinge on the brand, zip or billi. Work with a professional to compare each type in terms of your water filtration system expectations.
