What Are The Best Zip HydroBoil Alternatives?

Many people automatically start searching for Zip HydroBoil when it comes to wall-mounted boiling water dispensers. They're the go-to solution in the market, many specifiers might simply look past the idea of alternative brands in this field. This, whilst a testament to Zip's name value in the product area, is most definitely a poor decision. We've set out to show you that there are many brands and options out there that can outperform the Zip HydroBoil - and each represents its own unique takes that make them a great Zip HydroBoil alternative.

  • Best Budget-Focussed Alternative - Quench AQ5L

The Quench AQ5L springs to mind as one of the best alternatives with a significantly lower cost than the Hydroboil - let's compare the HS005 and the AQ5L. As of the time of writing the HS005 sits at £872.76 exVat - where the AQ5L comes in at just £400.00. This is evidently a significantly lower cost. The Quench boiler comes in a stainless steel outer casing and contains little component difference, we would strongly suggest that this would perform just as quality a role in providing wall-mounted boiling water - of course with this cost difference you may notice a shorter warranty and less professional look and feel, however, the AQ5L stands out as an incredibly cost-effective alternative where specifiers simply need to get the job done or have budget constraints, which are ever-present in today's economy.

 

 

  • Best Performance-Focussed Alternative - Burco AFF5WM Filtered, Wall-Mounted Auto-Fill Boiler

Another incredible product offering we hold on-site is the Burco AFF5WM. When compared with the HS005, it might be a stronger performer overall. One core factor here is that the AFF5WM - whilst still holding a 5L tank just as the HS005 does, offers a 5.7L initial Rapid Draw-off, which beats out not just Zip but all other 5L performers. This combined with its pre-built and supplied filtering system, a 2.8kW element for rapid recovery after higher usage periods, and its quality asking price of £452.29 (exVat - price at the time of writing) makes this option one of the best all-around performers on the market.

 

  • Best Reliability-Based Alternative - Heatrae Sadia Supreme 165 5L Boiler

If you're looking for something to compete in brand recognition, reliability and trader support, look no further than the Supreme 165 from Heatrae Sadia. Heatrae might be the only brand that have the name value in the sector to compete with Zip - they feature one of the widest support networks across the UK, and in Water Heating there may be no other brand so well supported and enjoyed by tradesmen and commercial customers. The Supreme features a warranty on par with the HydroBoil at 2 years and offers easy operation pull handles, as well as its own accessories and water filter system. And at £848.00 (exVat time of writing) it still comes in a little cheaper!

Conclusion

All in all - we just want to enlighten specifiers or buyers that there are several quality Zip HydroBoil alternative options, as we feel many of the above top-quality products are being overlooked in the market. Hopefully, you can see that there is clear value in considering alternative brands, and perhaps a lot more than just money to be saved.
