Mobile Application Will Be Needed for Tapping Water from Filtermac

This week the drawing water system was changed in the popular Filtermac water filtration facilities located in the Žižkov campus. It is now possible to draw water using the QR code of the mobile application.
The water on the Žižkov campus remains free. The main reason for the change is the need for a unified network, because water filtration facilities will be available in public space in the future.

How to do it:

1. Download the Filtermac mobile app to your smartphone (Google Play and AppStore).
2. Open the application and register.
3. Choose a tariff (“Sponsored by VŠE ŽIŽKOV”) and start drawing.

If you do not have a smartphone, please contact katerina.zantova@filtermac.com to get help with registration.

What is Filtermac?

Filtermac filter devices use tap water and treat it to the highest quality just before the user fill their bottle with water. Carbon filters remove all odours and tastes from the water and UV light eliminates any bacteria. The result is fresh quality water of excellent taste that does not travel on the road and is not stored unnecessarily. By launching Filtermacs, VŠE has also joined the School without PET Bottles project. VŠE has been offering an alternative to bottled water since August 2017. By October 2018, when the second machine was installed on campus, students and staff have helped save around 7.5 tons of plastic, which equals about 300,000 PET bottles.
