In today’s world, access to safe, high-quality drinking water has never been more important. Whether in the workplace, hospitality venues, educational settings or public spaces, people expect water that is not only refreshing and great-tasting, but also hygienically protected.
At Waterlogic, innovation has always been at the heart of our approach to water purification. This commitment led to the development of Firewall®, our patented UVC purification technology designed to deliver exceptional microbiological protection right up to the point of dispense. Trusted around the world, Firewall® has become one of the defining technologies behind Waterlogic’s range of mains-fed water dispensers.
Firewall® is Waterlogic’s patented UVC purification system that treats water immediately before it is dispensed. Unlike conventional UV systems that only treat water within the machine, Firewall® purifies the water all the way through to the dispensing nozzle, helping to prevent contamination at the final point of delivery.
At the heart of the technology is a unique double-helix spiral chamber that forces water to flow around a powerful UVC lamp. This design increases exposure time to ultraviolet light compared with traditional UV systems, ensuring more effective purification and enhanced microbiological protection.
The result is water that is purified at the very moment you fill your glass, bottle or cup.
Even when water is filtered, there remains a possibility of bacterial contamination occurring after treatment if the dispensing area is not protected.
Firewall® addresses this challenge by creating a final protective barrier at the point of dispense. The technology continuously sanitises the water pathway and dispensing nozzle, helping to prevent microorganisms from entering the system and affecting water quality.
This means every glass of water receives the same high level of purification, from the first pour of the day to the last.
Firewall® has been independently tested thousands of times and has achieved some of the highest levels of certification available in the water dispenser industry. Independent testing has demonstrated its ability to purify water to 99.9999% bacteria-free and 99.99% virus-free, helping to protect against a wide range of harmful microorganisms.
The technology has also been tested against the human form of COVID-19 and shown to achieve a reduction of more than 99.999% under laboratory conditions.,
These impressive results provide peace of mind for organisations seeking the highest standards of hygiene and safety for employees, customers and visitors alike.
One of the reasons Firewall® stands apart is the extensive independent certification it has received.
Waterlogic’s Firewall® technology has achieved certifications including NSF/ANSI 55 Class A UV and NSF P231, internationally recognised standards for microbiological water purification systems. These certifications validate the effectiveness of the technology and demonstrate Waterlogic’s commitment to delivering trusted drinking water solutions.
This level of certification is rare within the water dispenser industry and reinforces Waterlogic’s position as a leader in water purification technology. [escowa.se],
Firewall® works as part of a comprehensive approach to water quality.
Many Waterlogic dispensers also combine Firewall® with high-performance filtration to reduce chlorine, improve taste and remove unwanted contaminants, as well as BioCote® antimicrobial protection on key touch surfaces to help minimise microbial growth around the dispensing area.
Together, these technologies create multiple layers of protection, ensuring excellent water quality, enhanced hygiene and a consistently great drinking experience
Modern organisations are increasingly looking for ways to improve employee wellbeing while reducing their environmental impact. Mains-fed water dispensers equipped with Firewall® technology help achieve both objectives by providing a continuous supply of purified drinking water without the need for single-use plastic bottles.
By encouraging the use of reusable bottles and reducing reliance on bottled water deliveries, businesses can cut plastic waste, lower transport emissions and support their sustainability goals without compromising on water quality.
As expectations around hygiene, sustainability and workplace wellbeing continue to evolve, innovative purification technologies are becoming increasingly important.
Firewall® represents Waterlogic’s commitment to delivering safer, purer and better-tasting water through science, engineering and continuous innovation. By purifying water right at the point of dispense and achieving industry-leading levels of protection, Firewall® helps organisations provide confidence in every glass.
Because when it comes to drinking water, purity should never be left to chance.
