Alison Potter's HydroTap All-in-One Arc in brushed chrome
Alison Potter was looking for an all-in-one tap that would fit the seamless design of her new kitchen while also catering for busy family life and put an end to buying large quantities of unsustainable bottled water. Building your very own dream home is for most of us just that - a dream. After selling her home but retaining half of the plot of land, Alison created the home that was exactly what she wanted.
The brief
The hub of most family homes is the kitchen, a room which Alison was keen would not only act as the ideal family area, but would also tick all of the style boxes. Featuring concrete grey units contrasted against clean white worktops, the kitchen's high-specification appliances add a luxurious but functional element. One such appliance that Alison knew had to go into her kitchen was an all-in-one tap that could provide filtered boiling and chilled water as well as regular hot and cold. "I loved the idea of having all of our water needs available from one place,” says Alison. Fortunately, when Alison came across Zip’s HydroTap All-in-One Arc, she realised she could not only have filtered chilled and boiling, but also sparkling water, alongside hot and cold. “That was what sealed the deal for me!”
The solution
“We drink a lot of water - especially sparkling - and end up buying a large number of bottles each week,” says Alison. “Not only is this expensive, but I’m very conscious how bad single-use plastic bottles are for the environment. The All-in-One Arc has been a worthwhile investment for the kitchen. Not only does it look great and means we don’t have multiple appliances, but the whole family is drinking more water. The children love the sparkling water." Alison chose the All-in-One Arc in brushed chrome, complementing the grey units but still ensuring a classic, timeless look. “I love the design of the tap,” continues Alison, “I was thrilled to find a tap that did everything I wanted but still looked stylish.” A few more bells and whistles, and their family home will be complete - without any bulky, environmentally damaging water bottles cluttering it up."
