Water bottle refill stations for schools

A water bottle refill station in a school has to survive two things: several hundred fills a day and several hundred kids. Ours have a self-closing button, no electronics and a stainless steel body. The wall model is also the lowest-priced filler we make.

The three models schools order

Most schools combine a few wall taps inside with one post in the yard.

Where to put them

Put stations where students already pass, not where there happens to be a spare wall. The spots that get used:

  • Outside the cafeteria. The lunch rush is the biggest fill of the day. Two wall taps side by side move a line twice as fast as one.
  • Next to the gym and the locker rooms. Water is already in the wall there, which keeps the plumbing bill low.
  • In the yard or by the fields. A free-standing Street Tap serves recess, PE and after-school sports without anyone going back inside.
  • At the main entrance. A station in sight of the front door gets used by visitors and at pick-up time too.

For elementary schools, add a fountain spout. Younger kids forget their bottle more often than older ones, and the Park Tap or a Wall Fountain lets them drink anyway.

Why they hold up

  • The button closes itself. Nobody can leave the water running or flood a corridor.
  • Nothing to break off. The tap is a short stainless steel tube. The button is held by two locking screws.
  • No power, no sensor, no filter light. There is no outlet to childproof and nothing that stops working after a power cut.
  • Outdoor posts stay out all year. They are built to freeze and thaw, so there is no winter shutdown to schedule.

Water quality and filters

The stations dispense the water your building already gets. If your district has a filter-first rule or a lead testing program, tell us which standard applies and we will send the documentation we have for the model you are considering. Filters are available on request and are quoted per project.

Cleaning and upkeep

A weekly wipe is the whole routine. In hard-water areas use a household descaler: spray, wait about three minutes, wipe. For indoor stations we recommend the white finish, which shows limescale far less than black.

If a part does wear out, it is replaceable. Buttons, valves and complete tap housings are kept in stock.

Budgeting

A Wall Tap lists at €1,950 and a Street Tap, including its concrete base, at €3,495. Installation is done by your own facilities team or plumber and depends mostly on how far the station is from an existing water line. There is no subscription and no required service contract. The running cost is the water. The cost page has the full price list.

You can order one station to try it. Later orders can come in a school color, with the mascot on the post.
