Three reasons to convince decision-makers.
Safety for public health departments, hygiene for citizens, efficiency for responsible operators.
Compliance & Legal Certainty
Exceed all legal requirements and minimize liability risks through certified water dispensers and real-time monitoring.
Hygienic use
Public drinking fountains must do more than just look good. They must provide hygienically perfect drinking water at all times - even with high usage in summer or temporarily low water flow in winter.
The Bach drinking fountain supports operators with automatic hygiene flushing, contactless operation, components compliant with the German Drinking Water Ordinance 8highes possible standard), and optional hygiene monitoring. This makes hygiene more controllable and operation safer.
Low operating costs
Bach shows that a high-quality outdoor drinking fountain doesn't have to be expensive – but rather economically smart.
The robust stainless steel construction, Made in Germany quality, and long lifespan make Bach a strong investment for municipalities.
The optional hygiene monitoring provides operators with important data on usage, water consumption, and operating status. This makes operation more transparent, easier to plan, and safer. At the same time, efforts, inspections, and sampling can be better documented and coordinated with the responsible authorities.
Control instead of guesswork.
The future of public drinking water supply is transparent and digital – and so is the Bach. The first German drinking fountain with smart-city-enabled monitoring. Browser-based, no app needed.
Status at a glance
Hygiene, function, usage in the dashboard - color-coded according to traffic light logic (green/orange/red).
Hourly data
Temperature, consumption, meter reading - switchable between table or diagram view.
Alarms instead of surprises
Thresholds for temperature and flow rate. Automatic notifications for anomalies.
Records & Reports
CSV download or regular email reports - for documentation requirements and audits.
Water technology that builds trust.
Modular design Made in Stuttgart-Germany, flexibly expandable, hygienically engineered, and easy to maintain. The myBach outdoor drinking fountain was eveloped for reliable function, long-term operation, and daily use in public spaces.
Touchless Sensor & Maintenance Flap
Proximity sensor for touchless operation. Side inspection flap with plug-in system for quick maintenance access.
Integrated backflow preventer
Reliably protects the drinking water installation. Features DVGW-certified water-bearing parts and corrosion-resistant A304 stainless steel.
Automatic hygienic flushing
Hourly flushing intervals prevent stagnant water. Excess water is drained in a controlled manner – no risk of slipping.
Self-sufficient power supply
Bach generates its own electricity – from water pressure, like a small hydropower plant. No external power source needed.
Optional monitoring module
Hourly transmission of temperature, consumption/meter reading, and status to the myBach.app – for full transparency during operation.
Defined functional logic for maximum safety.
These features provide additional security for health authorities, water utilities, and operators:
Touchless
Proximity sensor enables hygienic, touch-free water dispensing
60 Seconds
Auto-stop on continuous activation – protection against misuse
Hygienic Flushing
Regular automatic flushing intervals reliably prevent stagnant water.
Certified
The Bach has the seal: "DVGW Conformity Confirmation Hygiene" Can't get higher.
