Bottle Filling Stations – Trends and Demand

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.

Stephanie Guttas, OASIS International

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.” 


OASIS has the clean answer to provide water for public areas while limiting the spread of germs with innovative products. With a full suite of products, OASIS has the solutions to help keep your clients, visitors, employees, and tenants hydrated and healthy. Contact us today to learn your hydration solutions.

Oasis Bottle Filler Updates Water Fountains

The VersaFiller® Bottle Filler Retrofit from Oasis® International turns an existing water cooler into a versatile bottle-filling station. An exclusive adaptor gasket allows it to be installed on today’s most common water coolers.
More than 60 million plastic water bottles are thrown away every day, and each will take 700 years to decompose. Because of this, more people are carrying their own repeat-use water bottles and want to be able to refill them on the go. They do it to be more responsible about the environment and to save on the cost of buying single-serve water.

Without the need for a major capital expenditure, any facility—healthcare centers, schools and universities, corporate campuses, multi-unit housing, hotels and resorts—can retrofit existing water coolers and upgrade them to include modern bottle-filling stations.
