Bach Drinking Fountain & Bottle Filling Station - Made of German steel !

The world’s first Smart City-ready, energy self-sufficient drinking fountain - handcrafted in Germany from premium German steel.

Clean, safe drinking water in public spaces is no longer just a public service - it is part of a modern city’s infrastructure. Municipalities, water utilities, public health authorities, and urban planners all face the same challenge: providing reliable access to drinking water while ensuring the highest standards of hygiene, durability, compliance, and operational efficiency.

The “Bach” drinking fountain by myBach, Stuttgart is designed to meet exactly these demands. Combining German engineering, handcrafted quality, and smart connected technology, Bach is more than a drinking fountain: it is a next-generation public hydration solution for cities, parks, schools, transport hubs, and recreational areas.

What makes Bach truly unique is this: it is the world’s first Smart City-capable drinking fountain that operates energy self-sufficiently while transmitting water consumption and temperature data directly to the operator. This gives municipalities and operators real-time insight into usage patterns, system performance, and service needs - without external power dependency.

Why choose Bach?

A new benchmark in public drinking water infrastructure

The Bach outdoor drinking fountain combines a classic public benefit with cutting-edge technology. It offers a safe and hygienic source of drinking water while supporting data-driven urban management. Operators benefit from a system that is robust, resource-efficient, low-maintenance, and ready for integration into modern Smart City concepts.

Smart City-ready and energy self-sufficient

Bach is designed for the future of urban infrastructure. As the first drinking fountain of its kind worldwide, it can operate autonomously without external energy supply and provides valuable operational data to the responsible authority. The fountain sends water consumption figures and temperature data directly to the operator, enabling better monitoring, planning, maintenance, and reporting.

This means:

• greater transparency in fountain usage,
• improved operational control,
• early identification of anomalies,
• and a measurable contribution to sustainable city management.

Quality Made in Germany

Bach stands for uncompromising quality. Manufactured in Stuttgart, Germany, each unit is made from high-quality German steel and crafted by hand. This is not mass-produced urban furniture - it is a precision-built product engineered for long-term public use.

The result is a drinking fountain that reflects the values associated with Made in Germany: durability, reliability, safety, and superior workmanship.

Maximum safety for drinking water operators and users

Public drinking water systems require absolute trust. Bach has been developed with exactly this responsibility in mind.

It supports the highest hygiene standards through automatic hygienic flushing, which helps prevent stagnant water by carrying out regular flushing intervals automatically. This significantly reduces hygiene risks and supports consistently high water quality.

The fountain is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel (AISI 304), ensuring a long service life, rust resistance, and sustainable performance even in demanding outdoor environments. Additional protective features, including bird contamination protection, help shield the drinking area from external pollution.

The Bach outdoor bottle filler is also designed to comply with the requirements of the German Drinking Water Ordinance (TrinkwV), giving operators a reliable foundation for safe and regulation-conscious public water dispensing.

Reliable hygiene through contactless use

In public areas, hygiene is essential. Bach features contactless operation via proximity sensor, allowing users to draw water without touching the fountain. This reduces contact points, improves user confidence, and supports hygienic use in high-frequency public environments.

The integrated design also includes a thoughtful runoff concept that allows residual water to be made available for animals in a hygienic way - a practical and user-friendly detail for parks and public open spaces.

To further protect water quality, Bach uses DVGW-compliant components and certified food-safe cables, ensuring that all relevant water-carrying parts meet demanding German standards for hygiene and safety.

Built for year-round public operation

Unlike many conventional fountains that require seasonal shutdowns, Bach is engineered for reliable operation across the year. An optional frost-resistant configuration allows the fountain to operate even in winter conditions, helping cities provide uninterrupted access to drinking water.

This offers major operational advantages. Year-round operation can reduce the costs and delays associated with seasonal shutdowns, recommissioning, and repeat sampling procedures after long periods of inactivity.

At the same time, Bach is built for public reality: its robust, vandal-resistant construction makes it ideal for urban areas, school grounds, parks, and other heavily used public spaces.

A summer-only version is also available on request for projects where seasonal operation is preferred.

Designed for accessibility and everyday convenience

Bach has been developed to be inclusive and easy to use for everyone. Its accessible design meets the requirements of barrier free access, close to DIN 18040, making it suitable for children, adults, and wheelchair users alike.

The fountain combines direct drinking and bottle filling in one elegant unit, offering maximum convenience for users on the move. The water flow is designed as a clean, splash-free jet, improving usability while keeping the surrounding area tidier.

It also performs reliably under varying infrastructure conditions, operating at 3–6 bar without a pressure reducer and withstanding up to 10 bar.

Sustainable by design

Sustainability is built into the product concept. The Bach water dispenser encourages the use of reusable bottles, helps reduce single-use plastic consumption, and supports the provision of public drinking water as an environmentally responsible service.

Its energy self-sufficient operation further strengthens its sustainability profile by reducing infrastructure dependency and enabling flexible installation even in locations where conventional power access is limited or undesirable.

Low-maintenance operation is supported by a maintenance flap and plug-in system, simplifying servicing and reducing operational effort over the product lifecycle.

Optional smart and custom extensions

Bach can be enhanced with additional features to match project-specific requirements.

Hygiene monitoring can provide real-time data on water quality and hygienic conditions, giving operators an even higher level of transparency and control.

Custom adaptations are available for connections, branding, labeling, and project-specific requirements, making Bach suitable for municipalities, utilities, campuses, real estate developments, hospitality sites, and international public infrastructure projects.

Why DVGW-compliant components matter

For international buyers and public operators, German compliance standards are a strong quality signal. DVGW-compliant parts ensure that components connected to drinking water meet strict requirements for hygiene, safety, and material suitability.

For operators, this means:

• better protection of public health,
• reduced operational risk,
• stronger legal and regulatory confidence,
• and long-term trust in system integrity.
