In today’s world it is very common to see drinking fountains with bottle filling stations included. Stephanie Guttas, product manager at OASIS International, gave her insight on current trends and what is driving demand today and in the future. 

“One prominent demand driver is corporate sustainability initiatives that mandate the removal or reduction of single-use plastic bottles. Consumer awareness around sustainability can create pull-through demand, and that awareness continues to grow.” Guttas adds that consumers continues to recognize the role hydration plays in a healthier lifestyle and thankfully we are all becoming better stewards of our environment. 

"While bottle fillers were once considered a luxury, they have shifted to an “expected” amenity in many workplaces and public spaces."

Current trends include an increasing importance on aesthetics as a driver in purchasing decisions.  “Bottle fillers have become more prevalent, and customers are looking for more modern and sleek designs that blend naturally into upscale, contemporary environments,” she says. “Also, the demand for a more hygienic experience with bottle filling stations has become more pronounced as more users interact with these products daily.”

Guttas states OASIS’s newly redesigned stainless steel bottle fillers present a clean and polished appearance with unique features that address these concerns.

Guttas notes that the demand for water and the stress on supply shows no of decreasing. “We know bottle fillers can help mitigate some of these environmental threats in several ways, and we expect to see this category grow as we evolve our products to support that goal better.”
