Brand Image & Customer Trends
Customers (especially those aged 25–45) value efforts to reduce plastic use. Serving locally filtered water is a selling point worth highlighting.
Still water, sparkling water, on demand: the quiet revolution in service
Sectors - Hospitality
Do your customers order a carafe of water? They enjoy high-quality water—still or sparkling—served in seconds, with no bottles to carry, no logistics involved, and no waste. You save on material costs, enhance your CSR image, and free up space in your cellar.
Still or sparkling water by the glass, no bottles
Why the hospitality industry is flocking there in droves
The Issues
-
-
Material savings
A 1-liter bottle of sparkling water costs between €0.80 and €1.20. From a filtered tap: about €0.05. With 80 guests per day, the annual savings easily exceed €15,000.
-
Lean Logistics
No more pallets to store, no more empty bottles to dispose of, no more last-minute trips to the store on Saturday nights.
-
Waste Reduction
A restaurant serving 50 meals a day generates approximately 12,000 plastic bottles of water alone per year. The filtered tap reduces this number to zero.

Your Questions About the Hospitality Industry
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do customers react?
It works very well in 95% of cases, especially if you clearly explain your approach (mention it on the menu). Serving homemade filtered water is now seen as a plus, not a negative.
-
Will my faucet be able to handle a lunchtime service for 100 guests?
Yes, with the right model. Blutower and Rebel are designed for these volumes. The cooling capacity is sized to handle continuous operation during peak loads. Our analysis confirms that the model is suitable for your volume.
-
What about room service at a hotel?
Several configurations: a filtered water faucet in the main kitchen (where the carafes are taken from the cart), or water dispensers installed in service pantries on each floor.
-
Am I required to provide water for free if it's filtered?
In Luxembourg, you are free to set your own pricing policy (the French “free carafe” law does not apply). Many establishments offer filtered water as a paid option (€1 to €3 per person for unlimited sparkling water), which provides additional net revenue.
-
Can we customize the carafes and glasses with our logo?
Not through us (we don't supply carafes), but you can get them from your usual glassware suppliers. A custom carafe greatly enhances the perception of quality.
