UK-based water company Kissd has introduced a new smart fountain designed to enhance water quality with advanced filtration technology.
According to the company, in November 2023, Kissd began developing the Kissd Smart Fountain to address the need for convenient refill stations in travel retail and leisure centres. The fountain features an IP-protected design that provides chilled, ultra-filtered water. It removes viruses, bacteria and particles, while an Activated Carbon filter eliminates chlorine, pesticides and unpleasant tastes.
A high-intensity UV treatment further purifies the water. It offers still or sparkling water, with options for unflavoured or micro-dosed with flavours.
Joshua Burgess, founder of Kissd, commented: "Kissd is taking a giant leap forward, and is thrilled to announce that they are now raising SEIS & EIS investment. Following the swift uptake of their first production of smart fountains since the launch just a month ago, we are ready to scale up and bring the cutting-edge hydration solutions to more locations."
The first installation took place at Orly Airport in Paris in June 2024, in partnership with Lagardère Travel Retail. Following this, plans were made for ten additional installations in 2024.
