With Zip’s 0.2 micron filtration system, the filter removes dirt and contaminants as small as 1/5000th of a millimetre, so apart from filtering out rust, lead, chlorine and other volatile organic compounds, the filter also removes microplastics. Haven’t heard of microplastics before? Measuring between 0.05mm-5mm, microplastics refers to small pieces of plastic waste. A relatively new field of scientific study with work being done to understand the extent to which microplastics are present in our waterways and the effects of ingesting them, experts including senior scientists for the University of Newcastle and Macquarie University suggest drinking filtered water as a way to help remove microplastics. Something you’ll be please to know Zip’s 0.2 micron filtration system does, at a level 250 times smaller than a microplastic.
Safe to say the Zip HydroTap is more than just a statement piece of style and convenience, it offers strong health and safety benefits for users, all at a press of a button. Now that’s something to cheers to.
