FAQs
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.
