What it does

Serve water, not service calls

Litres and uses

Consumption per unit, per site and per fleet, in real time.

CO2 reorder

Days of CO2 left are predicted, so bottles are swapped before they run out.

Filter life

Filters are changed on litres dispensed, not on the calendar.

Impact screens

Bottles avoided and CO2e saved, shown to users.

Fleet view

All units on one map, with status and alarms.

White-label

For makers and operators who serve their own customers.

Alarms

What fountainOS watches for

  • WarningLow CO2 pressure — below 45 bar, with days of CO2 left
  • CriticalEmpty bottle — below 5 bar
  • InfoBottle replaced — pressure back above 48 bar
  • WarningCO2 leak — abnormal pressure drop without use
  • WarningConsumable end of life — 10 days before the filter or CO2 runs out
  • CriticalNo signal — no data for 25 hours

Thresholds are set per customer; values shown are defaults.

Who it's for

One platform, three ways to run dispense

Whether you host fountains in your offices, service a fleet for clients or fund public water points, fountainOS gives you the data that matters to your model.

Offices, hotels, restaurants and cafés: keep every fountain, dispenser and coffee machine working, and turn tap water into a visible part of your sustainability story.

Always served

Alarms and automatic CO2 canister reordering keep fountains running between service visits.

Hard data for CSR

Consumption reports per site and per unit support CSR reporting, labels and certifications.

Water quality

Filter life and water health are monitored, and canister changes are anticipated.

Into your systems

Cloud data flows to your own dashboards, building management system or ERP through the API.

Engaged employees

Impact screens in break rooms show the bottles and CO2 saved by drinking tap water.

Impact screen

Show the impact of every glass, almost live

The impact screen reads fountainOS data through the Droople API and refreshes in near real time. Display it on any screen, tablet or web page next to the fountain.

  • Litres served and number of uses
  • Single-use plastic bottles avoided
  • CO2 emissions avoided compared with bottled water
  • Your logo and colours, for offices, events and public spaces

Proof

Measured on real sites

fountainOS runs on droopleOS, the Water Intelligence Platform — same sensors, alarm engine, dashboards and API as every Droople app.
