Specialties
WATER DISPENSING
Our engineers have discovered unique ways to better chill, carbonate, and heat water without sacrificing energy usage or flow rate.
WATER PURIFICATION & FILTRATION
Through a passion for health and wellness, we have developed better ways to filter and purify tap water before it enters a water dispenser.
The Da Vinci Dispenser
The DRINKSTATION® Da Vinci represents a significant advancement in point-of-use (POU) water purification and dispensing technology.
Flash Chilling Apparatus
This is an innovative beverage chilling system designed to rapidly cool beverages on demand while maintaining a compact form suitable for home and business environments.
The Polarizing Carbonator™️
With three patents granted and several more patents filed, the DRINKSTATION® POLARIZING WATER CARBONATION DEVICE can create carbonated water (sparkling water) that is extremely fizzy and that keeps its bubbles longer than traditional methods.
Water Purification
The DRINKSTATION® system employs advanced multi-barrier filtration & purification technology specifically designed to address the limitations of municipal water treatment. This comprehensive approach utilizes sequential filtration stages, starting with the Actifilter® and finishing with the Absolute Purifier™.
