FAQs
The BIBO Bar provides both instant boiling hot and chilled purified water from a single countertop unit. It uses advanced multi-stage filtration to remove chlorine, heavy metals, sediment, and harmful contaminants from your mains water supply while preserving beneficial minerals. This means you get safe, great-tasting water for drinking, tea, coffee, and cooking — without the need for separate kettles, water coolers, or bottled water deliveries.
Yes. Unicorp provides professional installation support for both the BIBO Bar and BIBO Block Alpha. The BIBO Bar connects directly to your mains water supply and requires a standard power outlet — our team handles the plumbing connection, system setup, and commissioning. The BIBO Block Alpha is installed at your water entry point and may require plumbing modifications, which our technicians coordinate to ensure correct fitting and optimal filtration performance.
The BIBO Block Alpha is specifically designed to address hard water problems. It works as a whole-system filtration unit installed at your water entry point, removing scale-forming minerals like calcium and chalk before they reach your plumbing, geysers, appliances, and equipment. This prevents limescale buildup that reduces heating efficiency, clogs pipes, and shortens the lifespan of boilers, washing machines, and dishwashers. It is particularly valuable in South African regions with hard water, where scale damage can lead to significant maintenance and replacement costs.
BIBO water purification and filtration systems hold multiple international certifications including Watermark (Australian water safety standard), CE (European conformity for health, safety, and environmental protection), and UL (Underwriters Laboratories safety certification). These certifications verify that BIBO products meet strict standards for water safety, material quality, and electrical safety — giving you confidence that the systems deliver clean, safe water consistently.
BIBO systems are designed for minimal maintenance. The BIBO Bar typically requires filter replacement every 6 to 12 months depending on usage volume and incoming water quality. Replacement filters are available locally through Unicorp for fast turnaround. The BIBO Block Alpha also follows a periodic replacement schedule based on water hardness levels and consumption. Beyond filter changes, both systems require only basic cleaning and occasional inspection — no specialised technician is needed for routine maintenance. Unicorp provides full guidance on maintenance schedules and can arrange service visits if required.
