Advisory first

Best for workplaces that want a robust, always-on hydration point in break rooms, corridors and communal areas, with a dispense height that works for everyone.

The Borg & Overstrom B3 is a premium floor-standing water dispenser for workplaces that want a reliable, always-available hydration point in shared spaces. It delivers chilled, ambient and hot filtered water from a flush, touch-sensitive panel, with optional sparkling via Borg & Overstrom's DeepSparkle system. Because it stands on its own footprint, it can go exactly where demand is, break rooms, corridors, receptions, anywhere people gather, without needing a counter.

Under the panel is Borg & Overstrom's Direct Chill system, a fully sealed cooling circuit that chills water on demand rather than storing it, delivering up to 30 litres of chilled or sparkling water an hour and hot water at up to 92 degrees. The dispense area takes sports bottles and jugs as well as cups, which suits refill culture in busy workplaces, and the dispense height works for both adults and children, which is why the B3 is a popular choice in schools, healthcare settings and visitor-facing spaces as well as offices.

Rather than treating the B3 as an off-the-shelf install, we take a consultative approach. We map the demand profile of the space, the floor position, plumbing access for the mains feed, and how the unit will be serviced. If you're weighing the B3 against a countertop option such as the E6, we walk through the trade-offs honestly so you choose what genuinely fits.

In practice

Why this works for workplace teams

Goes where the demand is

The freestanding format means placement is decided by where people gather, not by where counter space happens to be. Dispense height suits adults and children alike.

Better user experience

Fast, reliable dispense options improve convenience in busy shared areas. The flush touch panel keeps the experience consistent and hygienic for new and regular users.

Long-term practicality

Service-friendly design helps facilities teams keep uptime high. Planned filter exchanges and remote diagnostics where supported reduce surprise call-outs.

Common Borg & Overstrom B3 questions

Answers to what we're most often asked when scoping a rollout.

The B3's Direct Chill system delivers up to 30 litres of chilled water an hour, which comfortably supports busy offices and high-usage communal areas. We size the recommendation to your headcount and peak periods during the consultation rather than quoting a one-size-fits-all number.

The footprint is compact, 325mm wide by 380mm deep, standing just over a metre tall. You'll want a little clearance for people to approach comfortably. We confirm the exact position during the on-site survey, along with access for the mains-water feed.

Yes. The B3 is mains-fed, so it needs a cold-water connection and a standard power socket nearby. Our install team handles everything on the day, including commissioning and a usage walk-through.

Each install comes with a planned service schedule covering filter exchanges and routine sanitisation. Most issues are resolved in a single visit, and where the unit supports it we monitor remotely so we can catch any performance drops early.

The sparkling configuration is normally specified at install time, since it requires the DeepSparkle dispenser hardware and a CO₂ cylinder bay. If you want flexibility for the future, flag it during the survey and we'll plan ahead so it can be added with minimal disruption.
