A practical approach to deliver clean, filtered drinking water from bottled water containers is through the use of bottled water dispensers, which are machines or gadgets. These water dispensers, which provide an immediately available source of fresh drinking water, are frequently seen in homes, workplaces, schools, and public areas.
In addition to meeting the demand for clean water, bottled water dispensers provide environmental responsibility and customisation opportunities. They offer a practical way to ensure that you keep hydrated all day. Their significance encompasses health, personal hygiene, and the general welfare of people and communities.

It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products.
