Easy Water Play
Specially designed for toddlers and small children, the HapiTap’s built-in pressure reducer makes it safe, slow, and playful. It uses over 80% less water than traditional hose play.
We’re incredibly proud to have HapiTap awarded Gold at the 2026 Best Design Awards in Consumer Industrial Design.
After years of designing, testing and refining HapiTap right here in New Zealand, having our little tap recognised with Gold is pretty special.
Proudly designed and made in New Zealand.

We made HapiTap because we needed it too.
HapiTap began when I couldn’t find a water toy that let my 16-month-old play on her own. I wanted something outdoors, low-effort, and low-waste, but nothing gave kids real control. So, we made it. Simple, safe water play, made for real families like ours.
Everything You Need to Know
HapiTap is designed for children 18 months+, with little hands in mind.
The large paddle requires very little effort to operate, allowing young children to independently turn the water on simply by pressing it. As soon as they let go, the water stops automatically.
HapiTap is especially loved throughout the toddler and preschool years, when children are discovering the joy of doing things “all by myself!”
HapiTap is made from carefully selected engineering plastics, chosen specifically for the job each part needs to do.
The outer casing is made from ASA, a tough, weather-resistant material designed to cope with outdoor conditions and UV exposure.
Key internal components are made from acetal (POM) — a strong, dimensionally stable engineering plastic commonly used in plumbing components, valves and other precision applications where strength, low friction and reliable movement are important.
These aren't materials we've simply chosen because they're plastic or inexpensive — each material has been selected for the performance required from that particular component.
HapiTap has also undergone independent SGS testing for applicable children's product safety requirements, including testing confirming it is BPA free, phthalate free and lead free.
Yes — massively! Water saving and creating a child-friendly flow were important parts of HapiTap's design.
A typical outdoor tap can flow at around 18 litres per minute. HapiTap reduces this to approximately 3 litres per minute, so even when your outdoor tap is turned on, only a small, controlled flow comes through HapiTap.
That means you don't need to carefully adjust the main tap every time your child wants to play — HapiTap does the flow reduction for you.
And because water only flows while your child is pressing the paddle, it automatically stops when they let go.
So kids still get the fun of real running water, just with a much smaller flow — and a lot less water wasted.
HapiTap is designed specifically for young children—it reduces water flow by up to 80% and features a simple, one-handed press that’s easy for little hands to use. It only points downward, so there’s no spraying or water gun hazards. In contrast, trigger hoses are difficult for toddlers to operate, often have high pressure, and can spray unpredictably—making them harder to control and less safe for young kids.
No, the HapiTap doesn’t need any batteries, electricity, or other power sources to operate. It uses water pressure from your garden hose to function, making it completely hassle-free and eco-friendly. Unlike battery-operated sink toys, the HapiTap is ready to use anytime without worrying about replacing batteries or charging it. Plus, it’s designed for durability and simplicity!
Yes! The HapiTap is built withUV-stabilized materialsto handle sun exposure and outdoor conditions. For extreme weather or long-term storage, we recommend bringing it inside to prolong its lifespan even further.
The HapiTap is perfect for children of all ages. Younger children love its ease of use and gentle stream, while older kids enjoy its fun and independent design. It’s especially great for encouraging play, exploration, and water conservation habits at any age.
