Understanding Water Bottle Filling Fountains

Stainless Steel Bottle Fillers – WRAS Approved, Water-Saving and Built to Last

At Washware Essentials, we take pride in designing and manufacturing high-quality stainless steel bottle fillers that combine water efficiency, durability and ease of use. Since 2017, we have been producing our own range of WRAS-approved bottle fillers, all designed and manufactured within our own group manufacturing facility to maintain exceptional quality control and ensure every product meets the highest industry standards.

Why WRAS-Approved Fittings Matter

All our bottle fillers are equipped with WRAS-approved fittings, giving you complete assurance that every component in contact with drinking water complies with the UK’s strict water regulations. This ensures the safety, hygiene and reliability of your installation – whether in schools, gyms, offices or public buildings.

Smart Water-Saving Design

Our bottle filler range incorporates on / off push button valves instead of timed-flow taps, meaning the water only runs while the button is pressed and held and a bottle is being filled. This simple but effective innovation saves approximately 0.4 litres of water per use by preventing unnecessary flow after filling – an important feature for organisations looking to reduce water consumption and running costs.

Easy-Use Push Button Valves

Each of our WMBF wall-mounted, RMBF recessed-mounted and PBF floor-standing bottle filler fountain models includes a smooth-action push button valve for effortless use. The valves are manufactured in Italy, ensuring the highest levels of precision and durability.

For users requiring both a bottle filler and a drinking fountain, our DFBF floor-standing model offers a dual-function design with a top drinking fountain and lower bottle filling spout – a perfect all-in-one hydration station.

The buttons can be easily pressed with hand, forearm or closed fist to comply with requirements found in healthcare, commercial, and accessible (DDA compliant) settings where hygiene and ease of use for individuals with limited dexterity are important.

Dont forget the water saving on / off function.

Trust Washware Essentials for durable, efficient, and compliant drinking water solutions.

For models using a swan neck bottle filler these are also Italian manufactured and have a fully replaceable button and cartridge. The button and cartridge are maanufactured from quality chrome plated brass for vandal resistance and durability. We will not use plastic components or buttons in high use areas where damage can easily occur.

Designed and Manufactured by Washware Essentials

Unlike many suppliers, we don’t just distribute bottle fillers – we designed these models ourselves in 2017 and continue to manufacture them in-house within our own stainless-steel-only production facility. This commitment ensures full traceability, long product life, and consistently high quality. No other metals are used in the manufacturing process, making our bottle fillers exceptionally robust and corrosion-resistant.

Reliable Supply and Support

We understand that fast delivery and service continuity are crucial. That’s why we maintain large stockholdings for next-day delivery across the UK. We also carry an extensive range of spare parts, ensuring quick and easy maintenance over the product’s lifetime.
