Quatreau HydreauBar Professional Smart Water Bottling Station

Seamless Sustainability for Premium Hospitality Environments.

The Quatreau HydreauBar is a high-performance under-counter water system designed specifically for the hospitality sector, focusing on the eco-friendly production of chilled and sparkling water. What sets the HydreauBar apart is its unique, integrated process that simultaneously sterilizes and fills reusable glass bottles, eliminating the need for a separate commercial dishwasher for bottle prep. It is engineered to support high-volume environments-such as busy restaurants, corporate offices, and hotels-capable of processing up to 100 bottles per hour. By utilizing this on-site bottling station, businesses can reduce their carbon footprint by approximately 95% compared to traditional bottled water deliveries, significantly cutting down on transport, waste, and storage costs.

Reliability is a core feature of the HydreauBar, which is manufactured in the UK from professional-grade 316 stainless steel. The system uses advanced "Smart" technology, including individual bottle recognition to ensure precise filling that complies with commercial weights and measures regulations. It features a powerful compressor-based chilling system and a robust carbonation unit to deliver "champagne-style" sparkling water at a consistent 4-5°C. Designed to fit into standard kitchen layouts, it requires minimal cabinet space (approx. 600mm width) and simple utility connections, making it a reliable, high-output alternative to plastic or glass bottled water services.

Quatreau Series Comparison: Choosing the Right Hydration Solution

Precision Engineering for Every Pour, from Private Kitchens to Professional Bars.

While all Quatreau systems share the same DNA-British manufacturing, 316 marine-grade stainless steel, and a commitment to sustainability-they are designed for very different use cases. Understanding the nuances between the TouchTap™, SmartTap™, and HydreauBar™ is essential for selecting the unit that fits your volume and aesthetic requirements.

1. Quatreau TouchTap™: The All-in-One Luxury Flagship

The TouchTap™ is the ultimate multifunction system, often described as the only tap you need in a kitchen. It is unique because it integrates five different water functions into a single, sleek touchscreen faucet.

• Target Market: Luxury residential kitchens, high-end executive offices, and yachts.

• Key Feature: The world’s first "no-moving-parts" touchscreen interface. It is the only model in the range that dispenses unfiltered mains hot and cold water (for washing up) alongside filtered boiling, chilled, and sparkling water.

• The Advantage: It completely replaces your standard kitchen mixer tap and eliminates the need for a kettle or bottled water.

2. Quatreau SmartTap™: The Robust Multi-User Station

The SmartTap™ is a high-performance "drink station" designed for durability and ease of use in communal environments. Unlike the TouchTap, it focuses purely on drinking water functions.

• Target Market: Office canteens, gyms, airport lounges, and residential "butler’s pantries."

• Key Feature: Features high-visibility illuminated buttons rather than a touchscreen. It is often installed with an integrated drip tray directly into a countertop, making it a dedicated hydration hub.

• The Advantage: It is the most robust unit in the line, designed to withstand heavy daily use by hundreds of people. It is also DDA compliant (Disability Discrimination Act) due to its tactile button interface.

3. Quatreau HydreauBar™: The Commercial Bottling Powerhouse

The HydreauBar™ is not a tap in the traditional sense; it is a specialized bottling station designed to replace commercial pre-bottled water deliveries.

• Target Market: Restaurants, hotels, and large-scale corporate catering.

• Key Feature: It features an integrated ozone sterilization system. As it fills a reusable glass bottle with chilled or sparkling water, it simultaneously sterilizes the bottle’s interior.

• The Advantage: It processes up to 100 bottles per hour (or 360 for the dual-station model) and eliminates the need for a separate dishwasher for bottle cleaning, saving immense labor and utility costs.
