WHAT IS SPARKLING WATER?

Sparkling water is another name for carbonated water. Also referred to as “bubbly” water, it’s created by adding carbon dioxide gas that is pressurized to regular tap water. The result is fizzy water which is much healthier than its sugary soda alternative.

HOW CAN YOUR TAP PRODUCE A RANGE OF WATER?

By installing our premium water taps, your tap will be able to produce boiling, chilled, and sparkling water exactly when you want it. The most common way to create sparkling water is through CO2 canisters. These canisters contain gas that is highly pressurized. Here’s how top-notch residential and water systems provide sparkling water instantly using C02 canisters.

FILTRATION

When your tap is turned on, the water flows through water filters to remove chemicals, heavy metals and other harmful impurities. The filter contains activated charcoal which filters these harmful impurities from the water while leaving the good minerals behind.

CHILLING

After the filtration, the water now filtered, chilled, and is ready for carbonation.

MAKING IT “BUBBLY”

Finally, it’s time to add the fizz. In this step, the filtered water is combined with carbon dioxide via a C02 canister, and it’s ready to be dispensed via your sparkling water dispenser.

WHAT SPARKLING WATER TAP SYSTEMS ARE AVAILABLE?

We offer a range of sparkling water dispensers under four main product ranges: The Topia Flow, Tap, Touch and Go range.
