About us
A source of sustainable water
Hydrofix was founded out of a passion for health and sustainability. The idea arose from the observation that water is often seen as boring, whilst the alternatives – such as soft drinks – are packed with sugar and harmful ingredients. With this in mind, Dominique, our founder, decided to take water to a whole new level: offering tasty, healthy options without compromising on convenience.

Our mission is clear
Drinking water shouldn’t just be healthy – it should also be tasty and enjoyable. We want to make tap water more appealing by enriching it with natural flavours, without any sugar or calories. And we do all this with a keen focus on sustainability.
Don’t you think it’s absolutely ridiculous that we transport drinking water hundreds of kilometres by road, when we have perfectly good drinking water coming straight from the tap? By getting rid of plastic bottles and encouraging people to drink tap water, we can all help reduce our carbon footprint.
Innovation & hydration
Hydrofix stands for innovation in every aspect of our product. Our smart water dispensers are equipped with the latest technologies, such as remote monitoring, ensuring that businesses always have access to fresh, great-tasting water without any hassle. But we go further: we also track the CO₂ savings you achieve by using our systems, enabling you to make a conscious contribution to a more sustainable future.
Working together for a sustainable future
In Belgium, we have unlimited access to tasty and healthy drinking water, but unfortunately this is not yet the case everywhere in the world. Hydrofix is therefore committed to improving access to clean drinking water for everyone.
For every litre of water you draw from our dispensers, we donate one litre of clean drinking water via MadeBlue to children in need.
A responsible choice for businesses
At Hydrofix, it’s about more than just healthy and great-tasting water. Our machines are designed not only to provide you and your staff with delicious water, but also to have a positive impact on the environment. We have woven sustainability into every aspect of our operations, and we do so with a clear mission: to contribute to a more sustainable world and better access to clean drinking water worldwide.
Less plastic, less CO2
The use of bottled water has a huge impact on the environment. According to studies, the CO₂ emissions from one litre of bottled water in Belgium amount to as much as 260 grams per litre, whereas those from tap water are just 0.2 grams. If every Belgian, who consumes an average of 153 litres of bottled water each year, were to switch to tap water, we would collectively save no less than 395,000 tonnes of CO2 – equivalent to the emissions of 271,000 cars!
By switching to our water dispensers, which make tap water more appealing, you can help drastically reduce these harmful emissions. No more plastic bottles, no unnecessary CO₂ emissions – just pure, local tap water that tastes just as good as any alternative. Our solution reduces the need for single-use packaging and helps tackle the waste problem.
Healthy employees = happy employees
As well as reducing the carbon footprint, Hydrofix also helps to promote healthy drinking habits in the workplace. Belgium ranks among the highest in Europe when it comes to the consumption of sweetened soft drinks. One in five adults drinks soft drinks every day, which can lead to health problems such as obesity and cardiovascular disease. At the same time, two-thirds of Belgian adults drink less than the recommended daily amount of water.
By making tap water more appealing with natural flavour options, we help companies encourage their employees to make healthier choices, without compromising on taste. The positive effects of this behavioural change in the workplace can carry over into employees’ daily lives. We also offer flavour concentrates in handy dropper bottles, so they can continue the same experience at home.
Long-term impact
Hydrofix strives to bring about lasting change. We believe that creating a healthier and more sustainable drinking culture in the workplace can lead to broader social change. By installing our machines in companies, we encourage the use of tap water and reduce the consumption of soft drinks and bottled water, which is not only good for the environment but also for the health of employees.
