BRITA Vivreau
Term from the vending glossary
Brand of BRITA GmbH for POU water dispensers and countertop units in professional hospitality and office applications. Specializes in full-service rental models including filter, CO₂ and maintenance. Widespread in DACH through an extensive dealer network. Product series: ViO, Top-Unit, Carafe.
Vivreau is the brand under which the Brita Group, based in Taunusstein, offers point-of-use water dispensers for businesses, food service and public facilities. The dispensers filter, chill and carbonate mains water at point of use, eliminating the need for bottled water delivery.
The business model centres on the filter: water treatment quality affects taste, and filter replacement is the recurring cost item. When comparing offers from competing suppliers, therefore include consumable material costs over the device lifetime in your total cost of ownership calculation—not just the unit's rental or purchase price.
