Best Bottle Filling Stations for Airports

A lot of businesses that are open to the public are installing bottle filling stations as a way to better serve their customers and visitors and to meet their local plumbing requirements. Many airports now have these products. Below are a few guidelines in selecting the best bottle filling station for your airport's needs.

Among the most popular options, hands-free units stand out as they represent the most sanitary option for clean drinking water thanks to their hands-free activation that minimizes the risks of spreading germs, bacteria or viruses.

When considering units for high-traffic areas, Elkay’s heavy-duty Vandal Resistant models are also a prime choice. These units feature a sturdier, all stainless steel design and are made with tamper-resistant screws and corrosion-resistant base materials to help limit wear and tear and to protect them from tampering.

Green and enhanced units are also very popular. The former features an high-efficiency refrigeration system that is 35% more energy efficient than market standards, while the later boasts a modern design and an LED light that activates as the bottle is being filled.

Surface-mount bottle fillers are perfect for areas with limited wall space and regular depth wall cavities. They’re the smallest, most easily installed units. One of the most varied product categories, some surface-mount models are fully-automated while some others do not even require a power source.
