The BIBO Bar is a premium countertop water bar that delivers instant boiling hot water and ice-cold filtered water on demand, plumbed directly into your main water line for unlimited supply. Using advanced multistage carbon block filtration and BIBO zapper purification technology, the BIBO Bar removes chlorine, heavy metals, arsenic, hormones, bacteria, and viruses while retaining essential minerals for healthy, great-tasting water. Ideal for offices, homes, hotels, and dry cleaners across South Africa, the BIBO Bar is an energy-efficient, environmentally responsible water filtration solution that replaces kettles, water coolers, and bottled water, available in 11 striking colours to suit any space.
The BIBO Bar combines best-in-class water filtration and purification technology with sleek, customisable design and instant hot and cold water delivery. The multistage carbon block BIBO MAXI filter removes 99.95% of chlorine, heavy metals, arsenic, hormones, and other contaminants, while the BIBO zapper purification system eliminates 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms using electromagnetic waves without producing dangerous by-products or chemical changes. Unlike reverse osmosis systems that strip essential minerals and waste significant amounts of water, the BIBO Bar retains healthy minerals such as magnesium and calcium, delivering pure, naturally balanced water with zero wastage. Plumbed inline for unlimited supply, energy-efficient with standby and sleep modes, and available in 11 vibrant colours, the BIBO Bar is the ideal water solution for offices, dry cleaners, hotels, and residential kitchens across South Africa.
Genuine BIBO replacement filters are available through Unicorp for the BIBO Bar water filtration system. The multistage carbon block BIBO MAXI filter should be replaced every 6 months, and the BIBO zapper purification filter should be replaced every 12 months to maintain optimal water quality and filtration performance. Filter replacement is straightforward and can be carried out by the user. Unicorp can arrange filter supply and provide installation support across South Africa.
The BIBO Bar uses multistage carbon block filtration combined with electromagnetic purification, which removes harmful contaminants while retaining essential minerals such as magnesium and calcium. Reverse osmosis strips all minerals from the water and requires remineralisation, and it also wastes a significant amount of water during the filtration process. The BIBO Bar produces zero water wastage and delivers naturally balanced, healthy water with superior taste.
Questions
Answers before you enquire
- How does the BIBO Bar compare to reverse osmosis water filtration systems?
- The BIBO Bar uses multistage carbon block filtration combined with electromagnetic purification, which removes harmful contaminants while retaining essential minerals such as magnesium and calcium. Reverse osmosis strips all minerals from the water and requires remineralisation, and it also wastes a significant amount of water during the filtration process. The BIBO Bar produces zero water wastage and delivers naturally balanced, healthy water with superior taste.
- Does the BIBO Bar need to be installed by a plumber?
- Installation can be carried out by a qualified plumber, or by a capable DIY user as the BIBO Bar is supplied with all necessary valves and fittings. Unicorp offers installation services in Gauteng, Durban, and the Cape Town area. For installations outside these regions, any local plumber will be able to complete the work, and Unicorp can provide telephone support if needed.
- How much electricity does the BIBO Bar use?
- The BIBO Bar is more energy-efficient than a kettle. The insulated hot water tank retains heat like a flask, eliminating the need for constant reboiling. The unit also features standby and sleep modes to reduce power consumption when not in use. Most kettles need to be reboiled every 10 minutes and often heat more water than is actually needed, whereas the BIBO Bar only heats exactly what you use.
- How often do the filters need to be replaced?
- The BIBO MAXI multistage carbon block filter should be replaced every 6 months, and the BIBO zapper purification filter should be replaced every 12 months. Both filters are user-replaceable and are available through Unicorp for fast supply across South Africa.
- Is the BIBO Bar suitable for offices and commercial environments?
- Yes. The BIBO Bar is widely used in offices, hotels, dry cleaners, waiting rooms, and commercial environments around the world. It replaces water coolers, kettles, and bottled water delivery services with a single, stylish, and environmentally responsible solution. The unlimited water supply, instant hot and cold delivery, and low maintenance requirements make it ideal for high-traffic professional settings.
- Can I install the BIBO Bar on granite or marble countertops?
- Yes. The BIBO Bar installation uses specialised diamond tools with advanced water technology to drill through granite, marble, and Caesarstone countertops without producing dust or damaging the surface. Unicorp’s installation teams are experienced in working with all types of stone countertops.
