BRITA Top Pro Water Dispenser at a Glance
The BRITA Top Pro water dispenser is a mains-fed commercial unit that dispenses chilled still, sparkling, semi-sparkling and unchilled water from a single touchpoint, with pre-set portions and a touch display. It is designed for regular use by 10 to 100 people and scales across two cooling sizes to match real occupancy.
Where the Top Pro stands apart from entry-level office water coolers is engineering discipline. BRITA Vivreau designs Top Pro around hygiene-first principles, with ThermalGate heat disinfection of the tap fitted as standard. Capacity is matched to site demand, and each unit is WRAS-approved and UKCA-certified for UK commercial use. Operators specify Top Pro when they need a consistent, compliant, minimal-waste alternative to bottled water coolers.
Sovereign Water is an authorised UK supplier of the BRITA Vivreau Top Pro range. We specify, install, commission and maintain the unit end-to-end, and we pair every installation with our Comprehensive Maintenance programme to keep cartridges, hygiene and performance data under continuous review.

Full Technical Specifications
The BRITA Top Pro is available in two cooling capacities and in countertop or floorstanding formats, giving specifiers a single product family that scales from a small meeting room through to a busy commercial canteen. Every variant uses the same core dispensing platform, so service, parts and operator training remain consistent across a multi-site estate.
Cooling Capacity Options
Top Pro comes in two cooling outputs to match user volume. The Top Pro 50 produces 50 litres per hour of chilled water, suitable for 10 to 60 people. The Top Pro 85 produces 85 litres per hour, suitable for 20 to 100 people. Both use compact aluminium cooling block technology and a 33 cm dispensing height, which accommodates a standard reusable bottle or jug.
Flow Rates and Operating Parameters
The maximum dispensing flow rate is 2 litres per minute. Inlet pressure, drainage and the filter choice (for example a CLARITY Protect filter) are confirmed at survey against the manufacturer's installation manual, because they depend on the site's supply and the hygiene option chosen.
Dimensions and Weight
Countertop models measure 278 x 530 x 518 mm. The floorstanding variant is listed by BRITA at 227 x 910 x 518 mm. The countertop unit weighs around 35 kg. The compact footprint suits staff kitchens, nurses’ bases, production corridors and customer-facing receptions alike.
Hygiene Technology and Compliance
Hygiene is the single most important specification factor for a BRITA Top Pro water dispenser, because failure points in a mains-fed unit sit at the dispensing tap and the internal waterways. BRITA addresses both through layered engineering that is either standard or available as a healthcare-grade upgrade.
ThermalGate Automatic Thermal Disinfection
ThermalGate is fitted as standard on every Top Pro. The system automatically heat-disinfects the dispensing tap at 120 °C at regular intervals, protecting the outlet against contamination from external sources such as bottle rims and hands. No chemical dosing is required.
HygienePlus and PureProtect Options
For healthcare, laboratories and food production environments, BRITA offers two upgrade paths. PureProtect adds continuous filtration with the CLARITY Protect 100 filter. HygienePlus provides multi-zone protection, including a CLARITY Safe X3 bacterial filter at the outlet, and draws on BRITA's more than 20 years of experience in the healthcare sector. Both options extend beyond the default ThermalGate protection and are specified by Sovereign Water based on an application risk assessment.
UK Compliance
The BRITA Top Pro water dispenser is approved by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS) and carries UKCA and CE certification. For dutyholders managing Legionella risk under the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) L8 Approved Code of Practice, ThermalGate and scheduled Comprehensive Maintenance servicing form part of a documented control regime. For Water Regulations compliance, WRAS-approved fittings can be verified through the WRAS Approvals and Certifications directory.
Applications: Offices, Healthcare and Food Production
The BRITA Top Pro water dispenser is deliberately engineered for three distinct operating environments, each with different priorities. Understanding these matches the unit to the right specification and capacity from day one, avoiding over-engineering or under-specifying.
Offices and Corporate Environments
In offices, Top Pro replaces bottled coolers, kettles and plastic bottled sparkling water. Employees gain four water types from a single amenity point, and facilities managers eliminate bottle deliveries, stockholding and manual handling risks. The unit's statistics menu shows consumption and filter capacity data, which helps office managers support sustainability reporting and right-size the choice between the 50 l/h and 85 l/h coolers. Our commercial water dispenser range offers further comparisons across the BRITA family.
Healthcare Settings
In healthcare, the HygienePlus option is typically specified. Wards, GP surgeries, dental practices and care homes benefit from touch-minimal dispensing, thermal disinfection and documented cartridge change records. The compact footprint also suits clinical corridors and day unit waiting areas, where space and hygiene are both non-negotiable.
Food Production and Hospitality
In food production facilities, staff canteens and hospitality back-of-house, Top Pro delivers the flow rate needed for refilling reusable bottles at shift change. Paired with our Comprehensive Maintenance programme, operators get scheduled cartridge replacements, hygiene servicing and documented compliance records suitable for BRC, SALSA or equivalent audit regimes.
Installation, Service and Comprehensive Maintenance
The BRITA Top Pro water dispenser is installed as a countertop unit or as a floorstanding unit, so it fits into most commercial footprints without bespoke joinery. Sovereign Water surveys the site, confirms mains and drainage, and commissions the unit to manufacturer specification.
Commissioning and Handover
On installation day, our engineers complete flushing cycles, verify flow rates and pressures, programme portion control, and hand over a user training session for on-site staff. A digital commissioning record is filed against the asset so your estate team has traceable documentation from day one.
Comprehensive Maintenance Programme
Every BRITA Top Pro water dispenser installed by Sovereign Water is enrolled in our Comprehensive Maintenance programme. This includes scheduled filter changes at the cartridge interval, annual deep sanitisation, CO2 cylinder management for sparkling variants, reactive service cover, and annual hygiene certification. Data from scheduled visits feeds an asset register that facility managers can report on across multi-site portfolios.
Total Cost of Ownership
Against a bottled water cooler rental model, a mains-fed Top Pro removes the per-bottle cost, and the case strengthens as bottled volume rises. Eliminating bottle logistics, plastic waste and manual handling adds further operational savings that do not appear on the rental invoice. A Sovereign Water consultant can model total cost of ownership against your current supply for a side-by-side comparison.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many people can a BRITA Top Pro serve?
The Top Pro 50 is rated for 10 to 60 people with a 50 l/h chilled water output. The Top Pro 85 is rated for 20 to 100 people with an 85 l/h output. Sovereign Water will size the unit against your peak demand, not simply headcount, during the site survey.
Does the BRITA Top Pro provide sparkling water?
Yes. Top Pro dispenses four water types: chilled still, sparkling, semi-sparkling and unchilled still. Sparkling variants require a CO2 cylinder connection, which Sovereign Water supplies and replaces as part of our Comprehensive Maintenance programme.
What is the difference between ThermalGate and HygienePlus?
ThermalGate is fitted as standard and heat-disinfects the dispensing tap at 120 °C. HygienePlus is an additional option adding multi-zone protection, including a bacterial filter at the outlet, and is usually specified for clinical, laboratory or food production environments.
Is the BRITA Top Pro WRAS-approved?
Yes. The Top Pro is WRAS-approved and carries UKCA and CE certification. This supports compliance with the UK Water Regulations and forms part of a documented approach under HSE L8 guidance for Legionella control.
