Replacing a Zip Water FIlter is simple and requires no professional help. In fact, it's about as easy as changing a lightbulb. I you own a G4 range tap, you can follow a straightforward process demonstrated in the official video which you can find here. 

Understanding the Types of Zip Water Filters 

The key filter most people need to change is a taste and odour filter, located inside the unit behind the front door. This  is different from the scale filter, which only applies if you live in a hard water area. If your home has soft water, you likely won't need a scale filter at all. 

Internal vs External Filters

It's essential to understand the difference between the two filters: 

  • Taste and Odour Filter (internal): Found inside the unit, behind the door
  • Scale Filter (external): Located outside the unit, connected to the water inlet and outlet out the back 

Mixing them up could cause confusion when ordering replacements. 

Why Choosing the Right Zip Water Filter Can Be Tricky

Another complication is that Zip frequently updates the design and fitting of its filters. Unfortunately, these changes are not always clearly communicated, which means customers sometims buy the wrong type by mistake. Since there are several variations of the Zip Water Filter, it's always worth double checking before placing an order.
