Borg & Overström E6

The Borg & Overström E6 is a mains water tabletop unit for chilled and ambient water. The reviewed EU version operates at 230–240 V AC, 50 Hz, with compressor cooling and R290 refrigerant. The stated cooling capacity is 80 l/h, and chilled water output is listed at 2 °C. At 320 × 420 × 460 mm and 18 kg, the unit fits on a suitable counter or dispensing area. The dispensing height of 290 mm leaves room for larger drinking vessels. Its design is appropriate for indoor settings such as offices, shared spaces, food service, and comparable commercial applications. A mains water connection and 3/4-inch BSP connection must be available at the installation site. For inlet pressure, the dated installation manual specifies 0.5–10 bar (regulated internally to 2 bar); the product page specifies at least 1 bar. Confirm the value for the delivered version with the supplier before installation. A euro purchase price for Germany is not documented for the reviewed Chilled & Ambient version; prices from other markets and currencies are not converted. The price for Germany is available on request. For power consumption, the dated installation manual specifies 140 W maximum running power, while the manufacturer’s data sheet lists 110 W; the figures are not averaged, and the value for the delivered version should be confirmed with the supplier. Standby power, annual consumption, and refrigerant GWP are not listed in the reviewed sources. A cost-effectiveness calculation is not reliable without a purchase price, usage volumes, and operating data.

🇮🇹Blupura · Water Dispensers

Blupura BLU2GO

The Blupura Blu2Go combines chilled still and sparkling water with an integrated reusable bottle dispensing system. According to the manufacturer and datasheet, it delivers up to 60 litres per hour, dispenses 170-millilitre portions and stores up to 40 bottles of 500 millilitres each. This version is aimed primarily at public indoor spaces, universities, factories, larger offices and transport locations with around 100 to 500 employees or visitors per day. Bottle cleaning includes a pre-wash with filtered water, ozone cleaning and a rinse with filtered water. Its main drawbacks are its large footprint of 615 × 1,850 × 735 millimetres and its 181-kilogram weight in the base version. The published net price ranges from €11,334 to €13,361. A reliable ROI therefore depends on daily dispensing volumes, selling price, water connection, CO2 consumption and the number of single-use bottles avoided. With low usage, the investment is difficult to recoup. With steady footfall, the combination of sales, reusable bottle logistics and bottle cleaning may make economic sense.

BWT AQA drink Pro 20

The BWT AQA drink Pro 20 CAS is a mains-fed water dispenser for cold still and cold carbonated water. The datasheet specifies 20 litres per hour for this CAS variant, 4 to 12 degrees Celsius for cold water, 230 W, 23 x 39 x 36 cm and 18 kg. Performance figures for hot water from the HCS and HCA variants do not apply to the CAS rating. For offices, reception areas and facilities with regular water demand, the compact dispenser module can be a suitable choice. Before installation, water and CO2 connection, pressure, filter, cleaning, spare parts and service must be clarified. Operation is not maintenance-free. Our verdict is positive for a fixed indoor location with clear hygiene protocols in place. Operators requiring hot water should specify a dedicated variant and not derive requirements from a combined datasheet.

BWT AQA drink Pro 20

The BWT AQA drink Pro 20 is a narrow, well-documented water dispenser for approximately 20 users. At 230 millimetres wide, it fits into gaps where no refrigerator would go, and the base cabinet solves four operational issues at once: filter space, CO2 space, an approximately 3-litre waste water tank with fill-level sensor, and an integrated cup dispenser. The key point to understand before ordering is the variant logic: each model delivers exactly three of four water options. CAS has no hot water, HCS has no ambient-temperature still water, HCA has no carbonation. This comes alongside a maintenance plan that creates in-house workload: weekly cleaning by a trained person, daily wiping of the dispensing area, half-yearly disinfection, filter replacement and UV lamp replacement by qualified staff. BWT does not publish a list price.
