Filtered Water is the "Green" Way to Hydrate


One of the many exciting "green" trends in our industry is filtered water, which eliminates the need for bottles. Plastic or glass bottles are not only costly, but are bad for the environment when not recycled properly. Everpure makes a product called Exubera, which is plumbed in and provides clean, cold drinking water. Harvard University has installed this system in more than a dozen dining facilities. Not only do you get better quality drinking water than in a bottle, the cost is drastically reduced to just 1 cent per gallon! The Exubera dispenses three types of filtered water, including ambient, chilled, and chilled carbonated. When served in an elegant pitcher, operators can charge close to the same amount for filtered water as bottled water. While the machine requires some maintenance and carbon-dioxide tanks, the profit margin is staggering. BSC is proud to carry the Exubera system, which will help reduce your carbon footprint and your operating costs.
