DESCRIPTION
What is the Franke Classic Plus BCS Zip Tap?
The Franke Classic Plus BCS Zip Tap is an all-in-one drinking-water tap designed to provide filtered boiling, chilled and sparkling water from a single tap. The BCS configuration combines three water functions—Boiling, Chilled and Sparkling—making it a versatile solution for modern kitchens.
The system uses an under-counter Command Centre to heat, chill and carbonate the water before it is dispensed through the dedicated Zip tap. This means homeowners can access different types of drinking water without needing separate appliances such as a kettle, water filter or countertop sparkling-water machine.
The Classic Plus BCS is particularly suited to kitchens where convenience and a clean countertop are important. Boiling water can be used for tea, coffee and cooking, while chilled filtered water provides an easy source of drinking water throughout the day. The sparkling-water function provides carbonated water on demand.
The system also incorporates filtration, safety features and energy-management functions, making it more than simply a conventional kitchen tap. It is designed as a dedicated drinking-water solution that brings several everyday functions together in one integrated system.
What types of water does the Franke Classic Plus BCS Zip Tap provide?
The Franke Classic Plus BCS Zip Tap provides three main types of filtered drinking water: boiling, chilled and sparkling.
Boiling water is available on demand for preparing tea, coffee, hot drinks and certain cooking tasks. The system provides near-boiling water directly from the tap, reducing the need to use a traditional kettle. A boiling-water safety lock also helps reduce the risk of accidental activation.
Chilled water provides convenient cold filtered drinking water directly from the Zip tap. This eliminates the need to keep bottles of drinking water in the refrigerator and makes it easier to access chilled water throughout the day.
Sparkling water is chilled and carbonated using CO₂, allowing homeowners to enjoy sparkling water directly from the tap. This can be particularly convenient for households that regularly drink sparkling water and want to avoid storing multiple bottles.
The combination of these three functions makes the BCS configuration a comprehensive drinking-water solution for the kitchen. Instead of having separate equipment for hot, cold and sparkling water, the functions are integrated into one system.
Why choose the Franke Classic Plus BCS Zip Tap for a kitchen?
The Franke Classic Plus BCS Zip Tap is a good choice for homeowners looking for convenience, functionality and a streamlined kitchen environment. Its biggest advantage is that it combines filtered boiling, chilled and sparkling water in one integrated system.
For everyday use, the convenience is significant. Users can prepare tea or coffee using filtered near-boiling water, pour a glass of chilled drinking water or dispense sparkling water without having to use multiple appliances. This can help reduce countertop clutter while making frequently used water functions readily accessible.
The system also incorporates features designed for practical everyday operation, including water filtration, boiling-water safety controls, energy-saving settings and quiet operation. These features contribute to a more convenient and efficient drinking-water experience.
Another advantage is the clean aesthetic created by housing the main technology beneath the countertop. The tap remains the visible point of interaction, while the heating, cooling, filtration and carbonation technology is installed underneath.
For a contemporary kitchen, the Classic Plus BCS Zip Tap offers a premium alternative to using a kettle, refrigerator-filtered water and bottled sparkling water separately. It is particularly suitable for homeowners who value easy access to different types of filtered drinking water while maintaining a clean and uncluttered countertop.
