Sparkling water taps bring chilled, bubbly water straight to your glass - no more buying bottles or waiting for the fridge to cool your drink. For all types of commercial applications, these taps offer convenience, style and sustainability. After years of installing and servicing them, I can confidently say they're worth it.
They don’t just save time - they change how you interact with water. I’ve seen clients increase their daily water intake simply because it becomes more enjoyable. It’s not just about hydration; it’s about upgrading your workplace experience. You’re more likely to enjoy a drink that feels indulgent, especially when it’s filtered, chilled, and fizzed to your liking.
Sparkling taps also contribute to sustainability. With fewer plastic bottles to purchase and dispose of, you're significantly reducing workplace waste. Many corporate clients I work with choose these systems not just for convenience, but to support their environmental goals.
What to Look for in a Sparkling Water Tap
When comparing options, keep these features in mind:
● Filtration: Look for advanced filters that remove chlorine, sediments, and other impurities to deliver clean, fresh-tasting water.
● Capacity: Offices and other workplaces usually need high-capacity models that deliver 150–220 cups/hour.
● Safety & Efficiency: Models with boiling water should have child safety locks. Energy-saving modes and certifications like GreenTag and WaterMark reflect efficient and eco-conscious designs.
● Tap Design & Finish Options: Matte black, brushed nickel, or rose gold? A stylish tap enhances your space. Consider if you want a dual tap setup or an all-in-one solution.
● Installation Requirements: Some systems need under-bench ventilation or extra plumbing. Others are compact.
Also, consider maintenance - CO₂ refills and filter changes are part of the package. Aquaclear makes this process easy with ongoing support and can fit commercial units with a refillable bottle holding 2.6kg of CO2. This is a more environmentally friendly option than disposable bottles.

Installation & Maintenance Tips
A professional install is critical. Ventilation, bench space, and plumbing all need to be factored in. Zip units typically need airflow, whilst many Billi’s don’t.
Maintenance involves:
● CO₂ cylinder replacement every 4–6 months (varies by use)
● Filter changes every 6–12 months
● Periodic system checks like cleaning air filters
Aquaclear offers service plans to handle all of this for you, so you can enjoy consistent performance without the hassle.
One additional tip: choose the right spot. Some under-bench units need more airflow or extra clearance. Aquaclear’s installers can assess your kitchen or office and recommend optimal placement. It makes a huge difference for long-term reliability.
