RHUBARB

Rhubarb was looking to streamline its operations. They wanted to find water dispensers that deliver high volumes to respond to a busy environment and are cost effective, so Rhubarb can pass savings on to their customers. Accommodating over 600 people daily, Rhubarb wanted to ensure that they purchase aesthetically pleasing, energy-efficient water dispensers that meet their sustainability goals and satisfy their capacity requirements. After discussing all the options with the Aqua Libra Co team, Rhubarb chose our centralised dispense system, Aqua Link, as they wanted to install five Aqua Alto taps – four in Rose Gold and one in Black – to match their interior design. Four tea points are spaced out across the restaurant and the terraced bar, which is called “The Market”. The Market is a space committed to delivering nutritious food for the body and mind, with sustainable practices ensuring a zero-waste policy. And one tea point is in their outside-the-building café, ‘Blend’.

All areas are serving refreshing still and sparkling water. Rhubarb liked the idea of distributing water through pipes from one centralised point as it is 45% more cost effective and around 50% more energy-efficient than individual water-dispense units. This allowed Rhubarb to save cupboard space at dispense points and save energy by not running individual water systems. The chosen Aqua Link system not only allows Rhubarb to dispense high volumes of sparkling and still water, but with its intensive filtration and LED ultraviolet purification, Rhubarb can preclude 99.99% of pathogens and inorganic impurities from the mains water before distribution.
