Drinking fountain maintenance

A spotless fountain, without thinking about it
A fountain that isn't maintained eventually tastes like it — and looks like it. Our drinking fountain maintenance keeps the circuit spotless: cleaning, descaling, sanitizing of the entire circuit — using Health Canada-accredited products — and filter replacement, scheduled for you and documented at every visit.
Your maintenance program is paced to your traffic — typically 2 to 4 visits a year — and prevents the buildup of biofilm in the water circuit. We service all brands (Oasis, Elkay and the rest), whether the units are ours or yours: wall-mounted fountains, bottle filling stations or dispensers. The documented service log provided after each visit is an auditor's delight — in healthcare settings and schools alike.
And the math is simple: a maintained unit lasts years longer, keeps its flow, and avoids the emergency repair that always lands on a Monday morning.
The annual package depends on the number of units and the frequency you choose — a predictable cost, with volume discounts on a fleet. And if you're on an all-inclusive rental, maintenance is already included. Free quote in under 24 hours.
