Duty of care
Everyone to have access to hydration, clean drinking water.
Clean, safe water is fundamental to life.
Clean, safe water is also essential to recovery and well-being.

Being able to self-serve drinking water ensures a balance between being hydrated and healthy.

Carbonless filtration – maintaining chlorine levels for increased disinfection.
SensorBeam® / advanced technology – completely touchless drinking water dispense, no pedals of buttons to clean or which may harbour bacteria.
