Why offices choose a smart, filtered water dispenser over a cooler
Multi-barrier filtration
Most plumbed dispensers run a single activated carbon filter. Good for chlorine taste, less useful against microplastics, heavy metals, and biological contaminants (the things that show up in older European buildings and across multi-site rollouts where water profiles change building to building.)
REFILL+ Series 2 runs three layers: mechanical, chemical, and biological. The mechanical stage catches sediment from old pipework. The chemical stage targets chlorine and dissolved compounds. The biological stage handles microbiological risk. It matters most where it's hardest to verify (old offices, undocumented plumbing, sites where water quality fluctuates.)
Vitamins in every pour, zero-plastic
Eight flavors, all vitamin-enriched. Across our European install base, 83% of machines hit six or more distinct functional flavors every month. Teams love variety. And no bottle or can at any step.
Across our European customers, last 12 months:
8 million single-use 500 ml bottles avoided
~4 million kg CO₂ saved
11 million bottles avoided since installation
With the AURA dashboard and instant ESG reporting, you can track your team’s progress with REFILL+ Series 2.
A healthy alternative to coffee and sugary drinks (45%)
Improving employee wellbeing (28%)
Reducing single-use plastic & improving sustainability (27%)
Fast install, low service touch
REFILL+ Series 2 ships with cellular connectivity built-in. The unit connects when it powers on and streams daily data to your own AURA dashboard and direct to Aquablu HQ for proactive maintenance.
Over 99% of system anomalies auto-resolve before a service ticket fires. 80% of errors clear within 24 hours; 92% within a week (as seen across the European fleet, last 12 months)
Filter swaps are scheduled by data when needed, not by cluttering your calendar.
AURA dashboard tracks every pour and flags refills before you run out.
From day one our team embraced the dispenser. The mix of functional flavors and vitamins makes it not just water, but wellness. Clients comment on it too.
Bas Drogtrop
Through the longer use of the REFILL+ Series 2 units, we have noticed that, in addition to the sustainable aspect, we spend much less time on our catering. We save a lot of time no longer needing to replenish drinks, dispose of cans and bottles, or manage stock.
Look at the result: healthier offerings, better appearance, lower costs, less waste.

What does a water dispenser pouring flavored, vitamin-rich water cost for your office?
For context: bottled cooler service runs €20–40 per cooler per month before bottles, and single-serve flavored water at retail sits north of €3 per litre.
Hardware, install, CO₂, and maintenance included, one line on the invoice.
Bottled delivery vs. water cooler vs. plumbed tap
Here's how Aquablu compares to the alternatives offices typically shortlist — one line per category, deep dive a click away.
Bottled water delivery
Aquablu replaces the delivery contract, the storage, the lifting, and the plastic with one mains-connected unit that filters and flavors on demand. Cost lands in the same band; ESG and admin land better.
Bottled water coolers
Aquablu adds cold, sparkling, hot, flavors, and vitamins — and removes the fridge politics. Right answer when the office outgrows desk-level filtration (≈30+ people).
Plumbed water coolers
Same install model, very different ceiling. Aquablu adds multi-barrier filtration, flavor and vitamin water, sparkling and hot in one unit, and remote monitoring. Service touch is lower.
Kitchen-integrated taps
Aquablu sits alongside, not against. The Quooker handles boiling water at the sink; Aquablu handles flavored, sparkling, chilled, vitamin water on the counter. Many offices keep both.
Other smart dispensers
Multi-barrier vs carbon filtration. Vitamins in every flavor, not as an add-on. ~45-minute install. Built in the Netherlands, 8+ years in European offices.

01
Bottled delivery vs. plumbed vs. connected: which is right for our office?
For most offices with mains access and more than around 30 people, a connected system is the right fit. The three options scale by office size. Bottled delivery suits small or temporary sites with no plumbing, but you keep paying for transport, storage, and plastic. A plumbed cooler removes the bottles and pours cold and sparkling from the mains. A connected system like REFILL+ Series 2 adds multi-barrier filtration, hot water, six vitamin flavors, and remote monitoring on the same line, billed per drink.
02
When does an office outgrow a filter jug?
Around 30 people, or sooner if you have meeting rooms to stock and guests to look after. Past that headcount, refilling, descaling, and remembering becomes a daily chore nobody owns. A mains-connected unit pours cold, sparkling, hot, and flavored vitamin water on demand with no jug roster, and scales to 60 liters an hour. The usual tell is social, not technical: when people start bringing in their own bottles, the kitchen has outgrown its setup.
03
What's the real cost difference between a bottled contract and a mains system?
Running cost usually lands in the same band; the real difference is the logistics and plastic a mains system removes. For reference, bottled cooler service runs €20 to €40 per cooler per month before the bottles themselves, while pay-per-drink starts at €0.27 per serving with hardware, install, CO₂, and maintenance in one invoice line. A 100-person office averaging around 4,000 drinks a month lands near €1,080 per month. The savings show up in what you stop paying for: transport, storage, lifting, and waste
04
What makes a dispenser "connected"?
Connected means cellular connectivity built-in, with every dispense streaming to AURA automatically. We see every pour from Amsterdam, so a wearing filter, a leak indicator, or a no-usage signal allows us to catch it before you do. In practice, that means 80% of errors clear within 24 hours; 92% within a week. And filter swaps scheduled by usage rather than the calendar. A standard plumbed cooler can't tell anyone when it's struggling.
05
Single-filter vs. multi-barrier filtration: does an office need three stages?
In older buildings and multi-site rollouts, yes; in a new building on clean municipal supply, the gap is smaller. A single activated carbon filter handles chlorine taste but does little against microplastics, heavy metals, or biological contaminants. REFILL+ Series 2 runs three stages: mechanical for sediment from old pipework, chemical for chlorine and dissolved compounds, and biological for microbiological risk. The barriers matter most where water quality is hardest to verify, like undocumented plumbing and sites where the profile shifts building to building. The sites you can't easily test are the ones that carry the risk.
06
Can a connected dispenser sit alongside a tap like Quooker, or does it replace it?
Either. REFILL+ Series 2 pours hot water alongside chilled, sparkling, and flavored vitamin water from one counter unit, so if your Quooker is mainly there for hot drinks, the dispenser can replace it outright. A Quooker still earns its place for boiling water at the sink for cooking and cleaning, which is a kitchen-plumbing job rather than a drinking-water one. Replace the Quooker if you want a single tap for everything the team drinks, or keep both if you also need boiling water at the sink.
