Indoor water bottle refill stations

Picking a model by room

Office floor or break room: the Bar Tap. The cabinet hides the cooler and the plumbing. If you already have a counter, take the built-in version and put the cooler underneath.

Hotel lobby: the Lobby Tap if you hand out or sell reusable bottles, because the dispenser above the tap holds them. Otherwise a Bar Tap in a finish that matches the room.

Corridor, entrance hall, gym floor: the Hall Tap. It is a post rather than a cabinet, so it takes little floor space, and it has its own drip tray.

Food court, terminal, convention center: the Mall Tap or T-Tap. Two outlets on one cabinet keep the line moving at peak times.

Events and pop-ups: the Mobile Tap. It runs from a standard 5-gallon jug and a battery, so it needs no plumbing and can be rolled to wherever the crowd is. If the station also has to be the eye-catcher, look at the Water Bar: its sign and panels are made to carry your own logo.

Chilled and sparkling water

Still water at line temperature needs no power at all. For chilled water we add a cooler, sized by how much cold water it delivers per hour: roughly 4 gallons (15 L) for a normal office floor, or 8 gallons (30 L) for a busy location. If you are unsure, ask for both options and compare the two quotes.

The cooler does not have to sit inside the cabinet. It connects to the water line and an outlet, and feeds the tap through one insulated hose. That means it can go in a back room, behind the wall, or on the floor below, as long as the run stays short. A long hose warms the water back up.

Sparkling water adds a CO₂ cylinder to the setup. Tell us your local power supply in the quote request and we will check which cooler fits.

What an indoor station needs on site

• A cold water line with a ½-inch connection.
• A drain. Every plumbed indoor station has to be connected to one. This is the requirement people most often forget.
• Power, sometimes. None for still water. One outlet for a cooler. A Bar Tap with both a cooler and a lit tap handle can need two.

The cabinet models arrive assembled, with the couplings fitted. Your plumber connects supply and drain. See installation for the full list.

Finish and upkeep

Black looks sharp in a render and shows every water spot in real life. In hard-water areas we steer indoor buyers to white, which hides limescale far better. Either way, plan a weekly wipe with a household descaler: spray, leave it for about three minutes, wipe off, and do the inside of the splash bowl as well.

Options that come up often indoors: a sensor button for touch-free filling (€400), a chrome spout (€350), a custom light in the tap handle (€95) and your logo on the cabinet.
