Is it time to replace the filter in your Zip HydroTap? Clean, high-quality drinking water is essential for your home or office, and using genuine Zip filters ensures your system runs at peak performance. The Zip 93701 MicroPurity 0.2 Micron Replacement Filter Cartridge (2-Pack) provides industry-leading water filtration designed specifically for modern Zip HydroTap systems.

Here is everything you need to know about what the Zip 93701 filter does, why replacing it regularly matters, and how to verify compatibility with your system.

What Does the Zip 93701 MicroPurity Filter Do?

The Zip 93701 uses advanced 0.2-micron carbon block technology to deliver pure, great-tasting boiling, chilled, or sparkling water directly from your tap.

Ultra-Fine 0.2 Micron Filtration: Removes particles as small as 0.2 microns—capturing contaminants up to 25 times smaller than standard water filters.
Reduces Harmful Contaminants: Certified to reduce chlorine (taste and odor), heavy metals like lead, sediment, dirt, rust, microplastics, total PFAS, and harmful cysts such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia.
Antimicrobial Protection: Includes bacteriostatic media integrated into the filter matrix to inhibit bacterial growth inside the cartridge.
Limescale Protection: Helps protect internal boilers and chillers from scale build-up, extending the lifespan of your under-bench unit.

Compatibility: Is the 93701 Right for Your Tap?

The Zip 93701 filter (Size 1.5 / 1Z-LS) is engineered specifically for residential applications. It is compatible with:

Zip HydroTap G5 Residential Systems: All G5 residential models.
Zip HydroTap G4 Residential Systems: Fits G4 models manufactured after February 2017.

Note: If you have a Zip HydroTap G4 unit manufactured before February 2017, check your existing filter model—you may require the Zip 91240 or Zip 91241 replacement cartridge.

Why Choose the 2-Pack?

Zip recommends replacing your filter cartridge every 6 to 12 months (or after ~4,163 liters of use), depending on your local water quality and household usage. Buying a 2-Pack ensures:

Continuous Pure Water: You always have a spare filter ready when your unit's filter-change light alerts you.
Cost Savings: Purchasing a multi-pack offers better value per unit compared to single filter replacements.
Peace of Mind: Protects your unit against flow reduction and scale build-up without unexpected downtime.

How to Change Your Zip 93701 Filter

Replacing your Zip HydroTap filter is quick and requires no tools:

Open the under-bench unit door.
Put the system into Filter Flush mode via the command center touchscreen.
Turn the old filter cartridge a quarter-turn to the left and pull down to release.
Insert the new cartridge, push up, and twist a quarter-turn to the right until it locks firmly.
Follow the on-screen prompts to flush the filter (usually ~10 liters) to clear air pockets and carbon fine particles.
