Energy and Environmental Performance

• Uses 23% less energy compared to a leading competitor*
• Air-cooled system is 100% water efficient (no water used in cooling process**) 
• R290 refrigerant with low global warming potential and zero ozone depletion potential
• Improved G5 ventilation design enhances system efficiency
• Packaging is recyclable with recycled content
• Options for energy-saving functions including programmable timer, sleep mode, and sensor activation

* Independent testing prepared by a leading Australian University showed the HydroTap to be 23% more energy efficient when used in a typical office environment over 9 hours.

** Independent testing prepared by a leading Australian University showed that a leading competitors water cololed technology discharged over 30 litres of water to the drain daily. The 24 hour test period included 9 hours of typical office use allowing the product to make full use of any heat reclaim technology used to replenish the boiling water tank.
