Product Information
Full details
The Hyco Zen Spa SPA3L is designed for users seeking immediate access to both boiling and filtered ambient water from a single, stylish tap. Its key benefit is the convenience of instant hot water for drinks and cooking, alongside chilled drinking water, streamlining kitchen workflows. A potential caveat is the need for dedicated installation space for the 3L tank. This 2-in-1 system integrates a 100°C boiling water dispenser with a filtered ambient cold water tap, eliminating the need for separate appliances. Key features include an energy-efficient 3L tank with a rapid recovery rate, adjustable temperature settings (100°C and 98°C), safety locking on the boiling function, and a cool-touch spout.

What is the warranty period for the Hyco Zen Spa?
Please refer to the product documentation or retailer for specific warranty information, as it can vary.
How often should the scale filter be replaced?

Can I adjust the temperature of the boiling water precisely?
The Zen Spa offers two fixed temperature settings: 100°C and 98°C. It does not offer continuous precise temperature adjustment beyond these options.
Is professional installation required?
Professional installation is highly recommended to ensure correct and safe plumbing and electrical connections.
Troubleshooting
No hot water dispensing
Check that the 3L tank is switched on and receiving power. Ensure the water supply to the tank is open. Verify that the tank has heated up (allow sufficient time after installation or power interruption).
Water is not hot enough
Confirm the temperature setting is on 100°C. Ensure the filter is not blocked, as this can affect flow rate and temperature. Check if the tank has recently been used heavily, requiring time to reheat.
Leaking from the tap or connections
Turn off the water supply to the unit immediately. Check all plumbing connections for tightness and ensure any seals or washers are correctly seated. Contact a qualified plumber if leaks persist.
Filtered ambient water flow is slow
The integrated filter may be nearing the end of its life and requires replacement. Check for any kinks or blockages in the water supply line to the tap.
Boiling water safety lock is stiff or difficult to operate
Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism. Periodically test and operate the lock to keep it free. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Installation typically involves plumbing connections for both hot and cold water supply to the 3L tank, and then connecting the tap. The unit requires an electrical connection for the heating element within the tank. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper sealing and connection. The tap can be mounted directly over a sink or through a countertop using the optional Zen Font accessory for a cleaner aesthetic.
Compatibility:
The Hyco Zen Spa SPA3L is designed to integrate into standard kitchen plumbing systems. It requires a suitable electrical outlet near the tank. The optional Zen Font provides an alternative mounting solution if sink drilling is not preferred or feasible.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the tap exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the polished chrome finish.
- Filtration: The unit includes an initial scale filter. This filter should be replaced periodically as recommended by the manufacturer (typically every 6-12 months depending on water hardness and usage) to maintain water quality and heating efficiency.
- Descaling: Depending on your local water hardness, occasional descaling of the tank may be necessary. Refer to the user manual for specific descaling instructions.
