Specifying Tap Water Solutions for Emerging Contaminant Risks
Design | 07-08-25
Contaminants such as PFAS and microplastics are increasingly being detected in Australia’s drinking water, raising questions about the limitations of conventional water treatment. Architects, designers and specifiers are now central to integrating water filtration solutions that enhance occupant wellbeing and ensure projects remain resilient to evolving environmental and regulatory demands.
Since 1947, Zip Water has been designing and manufacturing Australian-made water systems, earning global recognition for its advanced, instant filtered boiling, chilled and sparkling taps. Responding to the need for high-performance filtration, Zip MicroPurity offers certified 0.2-micron technology that removes up to 99.99% of impurities, such as cysts, chlorine, sediment, lead, asbestos and microplastics. Zip MicroPurity filter sizes 1 and 1.5 (93701 and 93702) are also certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 53 to reduce 99.4% of Total PFAS (average reduction).
