Confidently clean, filtered drinking water for patent-centred care.

Water is fundamental to life and essential to recovery and well-being. From a simple glass of water to aid that regular pill intake, to providing that all-important first sip of water post-surgery, safe and clean water plays a crucial role in the recovery of patients and the well-being of staff.

Minimising infection risk at every instance

Infection control is paramount in healthcare environments, and with this in mind, Borg & Overström dispensers are designed to mitigate risk of waterborne and surface transmission of bacteria and viruses such as Legionella and pseudomonas.

From touchless SensorBeam® operation, to silver ion antimicrobial protection, and easy-to-clean profiles, our dispenser are designed to address infection risk at every opportunity.

Borg and Overström's 3M carbonless filtration range provides a 0.2-micron absolute rating and maintains optimum chlorine levels for increased protection.

The E6 chilled only showed no detectable levels of legionella, even in environments where approximately 50% of the incoming water supply was contaminated.

Reduce carbon footprint and energy consumption with EcoMode technology, ensuring you are only chilling water when there is someone around to enjoy it.

Designed to meet stringent water quality standards for the NHS, the E6 Chilled Only water dispenser offers unparalleled infection control for drinking water. A hygienic single water pathway, UV-C purification, anti-microbial protection and carbonless filtration combine to mitigate the risk of bacteria and virus transmission.

Viovandt UV-C germicidal purification

Integrated Viovandt® eco-LED technology delivers superior infection control, using low-maintenance and low-power UV-LEDs for maximum germicidal efficacy. Viovandt® ensures any bio contaminants, such as bacteria and viruses, which may be present in the water, are rendered non-viable, effectively protecting against waterborne infection transmission.

Shortened, single water pathway

The E6 Chilled only has a unique, shortened, single water pathway, designed to eliminate the risk of dead-legs where bacteria can harbour. The reservoir-free design ensures that water is cooled quickly and safely, minimising the risk of bacterial proliferation, creating clean and hygienic drinking water for patients.

What the NHS says about drinking water

The NHS Technical Bulletin (NETB) No.2024/3 serves as a crucial guideline for healthcare facilities, focusing on the design and management of safe environment for patients, particularly those at high risk of infection from waterborne pathogens and Legionella. More about the bulletin

Designed to meet NHS standards

The E6 Chilled only has been specifically designed to meet the stringent water quality standards of the NHS. With a single, shortened water pathway and UV-C protection it reduces the risk of waterborne bacteria and touch transmission of germs. Meet the E6 Chilled only

Kind College Hospital London

Kings College Hospital opted for a combination of E6 Chilled only and T3 tap systems as part of their drive to provide energy-efficient, safe drinking water for patients, visitors and staff.

T-safe enhanced filtration protection

Designed in collaboration with T-Safe, the T-Safe Filter Accessory Kit provides an added layer of protection at the point of dispense. Easily fitted onto an E6 dispenser, it features constant flow technology for reliable performance throughout its life cycle. An antimicrobial additive reduces retrograde contamination risk, whilst an integrated check valve that prevents backflow and spillage during filter exchange.

Reduce energy costs and consumption

As healthcare estates look to increase energy-efficiency in buildings and reduce their energy consumption, smart energy management systems such as EcoMode can help reduce energy consumption versus traditional coolers by up to 92% on the E6 Chilled only.

Reduce single use plastic waste

Every water dispenser eliminates around 35,000 single-use plastic bottles from becoming waste, helping to meet NHSBSA targets for reducing operational waste. This is a simple way hospitals and healthcare facilities can reduce plastic consumption in-line with the NHS single-use plastics reduction pledge.
