All-inclusive reverse osmosis rental for UK cafés, restaurants, and hotels. Protect your equipment, perfect every brew, and eliminate scale — from £49/month with nothing to own.

Most of England sits in a hard or very hard water zone. Central London tap water measures 260 mg/L hardness — 30% above the "very hard" threshold. Every litre that passes through your boiler, coffee machine, or ice maker deposits calcium. Over months, it becomes scale.
Scale-clogged heating elements overheat, fail early, and void manufacturer warranties.
Hard water dulls coffee and tea extraction. Mineral imbalance affects flavour cup after cup.
Limescale leaves visible deposits on ice cubes, glasses, and cutlery — visible to guests.
Emergency callouts, engineer visits, and replacement parts eat into margins unpredictably.
A perfect espresso is 25–30ml of concentrated extraction — but a flat white is over 95% water. The minerals in that water determine how efficiently flavour compounds are extracted from the grounds, how bright or dull the acidity is, and whether your roast's character comes through.
The same principle applies to tea, soups, ice, and even the rinse cycle on your warewasher. Reverse osmosis gives you a clean, neutral base — then a blending valve lets you dial in exactly the mineral profile you want.
One fixed monthly payment covers every aspect of professional water treatment — from install to ongoing peace of mind.
RO removes the minerals that form scale in steel boilers, group heads, and ice machines — as recommended by leading equipment manufacturers.
Start from pure RO water, then add back exactly the minerals your coffee, tea, and food preparations need. Precision extraction, every time.
Installation, all planned maintenance, consumables, and breakdown cover — all included. We own the equipment; you simply use it.
Modern units stream live telemetry so our team can diagnose issues before they become problems — and schedule service around your busiest hours.
Our low-friction process means you go from sign-up to pure water in a matter of days — with zero technical knowledge required.
Select a plan based on the volume of water your venue needs — typically 50L/hr for a small café, 100L/hr+ for a restaurant or hotel.
Enter your venue details, pay a small setup fee by card, and activate your direct debit. That's it — no paperwork, no site survey required.
Our engineers install your RO system, connect it to your water supply, and configure the blending valve to your preferred mineral profile.
Ongoing maintenance, filter replacements, and breakdowns are all handled proactively. Remote telemetry keeps us one step ahead.
Business growing? Upgrade your plan anytime after the minimum term with no penalties and no disruption.
Not all water treatment is equal. Here is how reverse osmosis compares to the alternatives commonly fitted in HoReCa venues.

One fixed monthly payment covers everything. No ownership, no maintenance costs, no surprises.
All prices subject to a minimum rental term. Installation and ongoing support included.
“No more limescale. No more engineer callouts. Our La Marzocco runs flawlessly and the espresso tastes noticeably better.”
“The rental model was the deciding factor. Zero capital outlay, all the benefits. It's the sensible way to handle water treatment.”
“Spotless glassware straight from the washer, every single service. Guests notice and comment. Worth every penny of the monthly fee.”
