The Daily Water Struggle in Child Care
The Sippy-Cup Assembly Line
Twelve cups, three refill rounds, one heavy jug. Your teachers signed up for circle time and finger paint — not hauling gallons across the kitchen all day.
Jugs in the Nap Room
Every square foot of a childcare center is spoken for. A pallet of 5-gallon jugs squatting next to the nap mats is storage you can't license, play space you can't use.
A Bin Full of Bad Examples
You teach little ones to care for the planet, then the recycling bin overflows with single-use bottles by Wednesday. The lesson and the trash shouldn't argue.
Empty Jug, Full House
The cooler runs dry mid-afternoon with a room full of thirsty toddlers and a delivery that's still days out. Kids don't do waiting lists — especially for water.
Built for Busy Little Places
Refills Without the Workout
Staff fill sippy cups and water bottles straight from the tap — cold, hot, or ambient — with no jug flipping between diaper changes.
Hot Water on Tap
Instant hot water for staff coffee, warm snacks, and kitchen tasks — one less kettle crowding your kitchenette counter.
Compact, Out of Toddler Traffic
Tabletop units like the Jetstream and Blizzard live up on the staff counter — off the floor, out of small hands' reach, and out of the way.
One Predictable Line Item
All-inclusive plans from $80/mo with installation, upkeep, and filter changes included. Tuition math is hard enough already.
Teach Green, Pour Green
The kids in your care will inherit SoCal's beaches. Going bottleless takes your center out of the single-use plastic cycle — a sustainability lesson that runs all day.
Tons of plastic waste eliminated every year by facilities switching to bottleless.
Americans purchase 50 billion water bottles annually. Let's change that together.
Bottles saved per unit, per year.

7-Stage Filtration Process
Parents ask what their kids are drinking — you'll have a good answer. Tap water goes through seven stages of filtration before it ever meets a sippy cup.

Pre-Carbon Filter
Removes chlorine, chemicals and pesticides.
RO/UF Membrane
Removes metals, solids, arsenic, and more.
pH Balance
Balances pH levels for optimal hydration.
Sanitization
Eliminates bacteria and pathogens.
Nutrient Boost
Adds calcium, potassium and magnesium.
Taste & Odor Polish
Final polish for fresh, pure taste.
