In today’s society, many people regularly drink water in hotels, restaurants, and cafes.

In the Horeca sector (hotels, restaurants, and cafes), it is essential to offer quality water to customers due to their high demand, as water is the most consumed packaged beverage in the world. The new plastic tax regulations and the multitude of disadvantages of supplying bottled water create a significant need for many businesses to seek alternatives to this important issue for their businesses.

While tap water is an option for drinking water, it is an unattractive alternative due to its taste, odor, and potential contaminants. Other fairly common systems, such as purchasing bottled water, do not always provide much better quality water than tap water and entail many disadvantages, such as the ongoing financial and procurement costs, poorer hygiene, the presence of toxic microplastics in the water, storage of bottles and garbage, and CO2 and plastic pollution.
