Why choose a bottleless system over bottles delivered every month? Because the water comes from your own line, so nobody orders or stores anything. Aqualume rents them to workplaces across Southern California.
Our dispensers filter the building’s water on site through seven stages. No plastic bottles to store, no delivery to schedule. What changes is the bill: a monthly plan replaces a stack of invoices, and whether that is cheaper depends on how much bottled water you buy today.

Seven filtration stages
Every Aqualume machine runs the same seven stages. Sediment, pre-carbon, an RO/UF membrane, pH balance and sanitization come first, then a nutrient boost that adds calcium, potassium and magnesium, and a taste and odor polish at the very end. Ask any provider you compare us with for its stage list in writing.
You taste the result at the tap, and in tea or coffee made with it. That is the point of the stages, and we make no claim beyond the list above.
No deliveries, and what it costs
The machine connects to your existing water line, so there are no jugs to order or store and nothing to run out. Hot and cold water come from the Glacier and Cascade on demand, and from the slim Gulfstream. The Glacier also makes ice. The Jetstream is the only model with a sparkling tap.
That frees the storage room bottled water takes up. It also frees whoever used to receive and stack it.
The bottle bill goes away. No delivery fees, no per-jug refills. What replaces it is the plan, plus replacement filters billed separately about once a year.
Less plastic
Bottleless means no single-use plastic bottles arriving and none leaving. The water comes from your own line and goes out through the tap, so the bottle is never made. That is the whole environmental argument. It is a real one, though a water cooler is not a climate strategy.
People refill their own bottles or glasses at the dispenser instead of grabbing a single-use one. It is a visible change if your team cares about plastic, and it will not shift the rest of your footprint. We do not claim a number.
Needs differ by room, so there are seven models to pick from. The Glacier, Cascade and Gulfstream stand on the floor. The Lightstream and Jetstream sit on a counter. The Blizzard and Avalanche are built around ice. Most give hot and cold water, and the Jetstream adds a sparkling tap.
Why rent from us, and when not to
Our plan covers the machine, scheduled service and any repairs for a monthly fee from $80 a month per dispenser*. Installation is free. Replacement filters are billed separately, about once a year, and the term is set for your site and confirmed in writing before you sign. Support runs Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. *Starting price; final pricing depends on the machine and site.
The 7-day free trial puts a machine in your space for a week. A site visit is part of it, and removal is free if it is not a fit. It is the cheapest way to find out whether your people will actually use it, and how the water tastes to a room full of coffee drinkers who have opinions.

Hydration: access, not a health promise
Filtered water on tap makes it easy to fill a glass. That is as far as we can honestly go. We make no health claim: whether your team drinks more is up to them. What changes is access. Nobody hunts for a jug or waits for a delivery, and the water is hot or cold the moment it is wanted.
The strongest reasons to switch are practical. No bottles to store, no delivery schedule. One monthly plan with service and repairs. The environmental side is a bonus we are glad of, not a promise. And if your team is small and a few cases a week cover it, bottles may still be cheaper, and we would tell you so.

Delivered bottles against a monthly plan
Installation is free, so there is no large upfront cost to set against your bottle bill. You pay the monthly plan plus replacement filters about once a year, and you stop paying delivery fees and per-jug refills. Do the totals favor bottleless? That depends on what you spend on water today. Compare it with your last few invoices.
A bottleless dispenser also removes the empties and caps that come with delivered water. That is a smaller plastic footprint for one office, and it is all we claim. No single office changes the planet, but the plastic it no longer buys is real, and it makes your own sustainability reporting easier to defend.
Next step: try one for a week
If you want to try it, start with the 7-day free trial. Tell us the headcount and where the water line runs, and we will suggest a model or tell you bottleless is the wrong fit. A site visit is part of the trial, and removal is free if it is not a fit. Skip us if no water line is near where people drink, or if your team is small and happy with cases.
