**Mains-fed water cooler manufacturer, Tana Water (UK) Ltd, recently launched a new carbonated water model at the Total Workplace Management Show, Olympia, London.

**The T5 Fizz features an energy saving mode and delivers up to 30 cups of freshly filtered sparkling water per hour.

Tana Water machines take water directly from the mains and use an activated carbon filter to remove chlorine, limescale and rust, and an 11 Watt ultraviolet (UV) bulb to protect the water after dechlorination. The ultraviolet lamp within the cold water tank kills all germs and the T5 Fizz will automatically stop working if the UV bulb fails.

To conserve energy overnight and at weekends, the Tana Water T5 Fizz includes a preset 'sleep' mode. This feature has been shown to reduce energy consumption by 40%.

Explaining the launch of the T5 Fizz, Tana Water UK MD Nick Heane said: “Tana Water has established its reputation for providing hot and cold POU machines in the healthcare and manufacturing sectors. Now a growing number of conference facilities managers have recognised the labour and cost savings from filtering mains water on site. Our customers want to offer guests the choice of freshly filtered hot, chilled or sparkling water with the convenience of sourcing all of their machines and service from the same manufacturer.”

Tana Water has been providing mains-fed water machines to private and public sector organisations in the UK for 10 years, and is the only Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS) approved manufacturer in the UK that sells and maintains its own machines.

All Tana Water machines are sold with a mandatory service contract to ensure regular and safe maintenance of the carbon and UV filters. All installation, maintenance and sanitising is carried out by WRAS-approved Tana Water engineers.
