Retro Water Towers

Fred Water's Water Tower Dispensers are Sleek and Eco-Conscious

— April 24, 2014 — Eco
If you're already on the right track and using eco-conscious water bottles, why not take it to the next level and treat your home, office, hotel or any space really with the latest range of sleek and sustainable water towers by Fred Water.

We all love water. And if you're reading this, you love the idea of refilling over buying, the idea of eco over wasteful and the idea of having a sustainable tap at your disposal to refill from.

The recently unveiled water tower dispensers from Fred Water will not only keep you consciously clean -- and our planet -- but they're designed to look like vintage, upscale accent pieces that would look perfect in any hotel, café and office.

“Hand-polished, NSF-Certified food grade stainless steel, the Tower sits more than four-and-a-half feet tall and is offered in three, four and five gallon sizes. The simple drop-in activated charcoal filter removes chlorine, odor and taste from regular tap water, allowing people to have refreshing water in their daily life,” says the team at Fred Water.
