Installing an EcoPure Waters, water filtration system means you no longer need to buy in bottled water. The system provides an endless supply of chilled still and sparkling drinking water, served in elegant reusable, champagne-strength, machine washable bottles.

The bottles can be printed to carry any logo or design, giving the opportunity to strengthen your brand.

Two distinct bottle types are offered - a traditional swing-stopper range and the recently launched designer 750ml screw top bottle with colour-coded cap and tamper-evident seal. This newer version allows venues to serve a sealed, stylish, finished product that has a higher perceived value, making it perfect for bars, pubs and restaurants.

The Guildford Arms is a Georgian-

style gastropub in Royal Greenwich.

There are two dining rooms and an

area for private dining where guests

enjoy chef patron Guy Awford’s

delicious modern British food.

When refurbishing the pub in 2013,

an EcoPure Waters’ filtration system

was installed

to provide

drinking water

for customers.

Owner

Jon Hallett

explains why:

“Sustainability was high on our

agenda when we reopened the

pub, so we wanted to avoid using

bought-in bottled water. This would

help us reduce waste and the cost of

its disposal, and minimise the ‘food

miles’ involved in buying-in bottled

water.”

“The EcoPure system, with re-usable

glass bottles, was definitely the way

forward in terms of sustainability.

An added advantage is that the

bottles help build our image through

in-house marketing; the swing-top

bottles not only look good, but they

are also branded with our logo and a

sustainability statement.”

“We have chosen

to charge our

customers £3.00

per litre bottle of

still or sparkling

drinking water,

which is much less

than others charge for mineral water.

Our customers are happy to pay

this as the overall package - high

quality water, beautifully presented -

offers very good value. Charging for

the water also allows us to make a

contribution towards the capital cost

and running of the system.”

Situated in a Victorian warehouse

in the centre of Dalston, north-east

London, POND Dalston is one of the

capital’s most popular destination

restaurants, serving cocktails, bar

food or a full feast, Hawaiian style.

Since it opened in September 2014,

the POND Dalston has relied on an

EcoPure Waters’ filtration system to

provide the drinking water needs of its

customers.

General

Manager Rian

Holland explains

why. “We were

looking for

an easy and

convenient way

of serving high

quality drinking water to customers

in our bar and restaurant. At the

same time we wanted to avoid using

bought-in bottled water, not only

because it’s relatively expensive but

also to minimise waste. We didn’t

want to spend time and money on

handling and disposing of used

bottles.”

“The EcoPure Waters’ filtration system

is an ideal solution for our busy

operation, producing an unlimited

supply of still and sparkling water

on demand. The filtered water is

clear and tasty, despite the fact

our mains water is very hard and

leaves limescale residues when used

unfiltered.”

“We serve the water in swing-stopper

bottles which suits the cool, retro feel

of our dining room. The bottles are

also branded with our logo which

helps keep our name right in front of

customers.”

“We offer bottles

of water to

our restaurant

customers at a

small, one-off

charge of £1

which allows them

to have unlimited

refills during their stay. Keeping

guests continually topped-up with

water, as well as other drinks, gives

us an opportunity to demonstrate our

excellent service.”

“Customers in our cocktail bar are

offered free bottles of water. This

is not just to help our guests stay

sensibly hydrated while drinking. The

chilled, filtered water also cleans

and refreshes the palate between

drinks, helping guests get maximum

enjoyment from our cocktails.”

The EcoPure Waters’ filtration system is an ideal solution

Hidden away in the back streets of Fulham, The Harwood offers award-

winning food and wine in a casual and relaxed setting. Championing

the very best British produce, The Harwood is currently

the only Michelin-starred pub in London.

Alex Sergeant, General Manager, explains why they

use an EcoPure Waters’ filtration system to provide

drinking water for guests while improving sustainability

and reducing costs.

“We used to buy-in relatively high quantities of bottled

mineral water, but we became very aware of the

environmental and cost implications. It’s not just

about food miles and delivery costs; it’s also about

the time and space for storing the bottles before

use and then having to recycle them after use. By

installing an in-house filtration system we avoid

all these issues.”

“Specifying an EcoPure Waters’ system was

a natural choice for us because I had used

them before at another establishment. I was

very happy with their customer service and

all-inclusive maintenance package. The

filtered water - still and sparkling - is of very

high quality which, as an award-winning

restaurant, is very important to us and our

guests.”

“Our customers are very happy to pay the

£2.00 we charge per bottle of water, which

also entitles them to a free refill for the rest

of their stay. This is much less than they

would be paying for an equivalent bottle

of mineral water and, at the same time, it

allows us to recover some of the revenue we

used to earn when we sold mineral water.”

Alex Sergeant, General Manager
