Below are some insights and curiosities that arise from our daily interactions with AQ Davinci users.
AQ Davinci is the innovative “made in U.S.A.” dispenser for room temperature still water, cold still water, chilled sparkling water, and hot water (85-90°C), perfect for all your needs. Davinci is ideal for both offices and restaurants, as well as for families. Professional use is made easier by the option to externally connect the device to CO2 cylinders ranging from 4 to 10 kg. AQ Davinci has been distributed in the U.S. for over 10 years, is environmentally friendly, and is cost-effective:
- Qualitatively (the best water for drinking and cooking),
- Economically (the potable water consumption for an average Italian family is close to €1000 per year),
- Logistically (no more heavy bottles to transport and store).
AQ Davinci stands out from other water dispensers primarily for its multifunctionality (it is the only dispenser on the market that provides cold, sparkling, and hot water at 85-90°C), its prestigious design, and especially its highly efficient filtration system. Davinci uses Actifilter™ six-stage filters certified for up to 30,000 liters of water, which eliminate all harmful substances for the body (microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites, organic substances like pesticides, fertilizers, paints, etc., chemicals such as chlorine, toxic minerals like chromium, aluminum, arsenic, asbestos, fluoride, nitrates, cadmium, lead, mercury, which, even in small quantities, can be present in tap water), while preserving essential minerals (calcium, magnesium, and potassium).
- Elimination of plastic bottles from the world (let’s remember the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch,” an island covering at least 700,000 km² – more than twice the size of Italy! – located in the North Pacific),
- Reduction of the carbon footprint of households using the product (bottle production, transport to stores, transport to the end user).
With proper care, even with an intensive usage, the machine can properly function for over 10 years.
The cooling tank uses a stainless steel coil through which the water flows. The cooling tank itself is not in contact with the water being dispensed. The cooling system is instant and highly efficient (cools 120 liters of water per hour for the production of still and sparkling cold water). The high flow rate of the cooling system allows one bottle of cold and sparkling water to be filled in just 25 seconds.
NO. The machine is equipped with a switch on the back to set the device to “child safety” mode, disabling hot water dispensing and preventing accidental burns.
The installation of the AQ Davinci dispenser requires four simple steps:
- Add a fitting to the water supply (included in the Davinci kit) and connect the hose (included in the Davinci kit) that brings water to the machine;
- Connect the power cable to a 220V socket;
- Connect the CO2 cylinders (internal or external) following the instructions in the manual, adjusting the amount of carbon dioxide using the dedicated pressure gauge;
- Turn on the device and dispense at least 3 liters of water per type before drinking it.
- Orange: Functional button.
- Pressing the orange button simultaneously with the red button activates the hot water dispensing in anti-scald mode.
- Pressing the orange button once during room temperature water dispensing, and pressing it again after a certain amount of water, allows you to set the next water dispense to a specific quantity. This avoids having to continuously hold the button for dispensing water.
- White: Dispensing of room temperature water.
- Blue: Dispensing of cold water.
- Green: Dispensing of sparkling water.
- Red: Pressing the red button simultaneously with the orange button activates the hot water dispensing in anti-scald mode.
It is not possible to adjust the temperature of the dispensed water. To obtain water that is less cold or less hot, it must be mixed with room temperature water.
The integrated 0.45 kg Sodastream CO2 cylinder ensures the dispensing of 60-80 liters of sparkling water. This value depends on the level of carbonation desired. The more carbonated the water, the fewer liters will be dispensed. Note: The carbonation level can be adjusted using the pressure gauge located at the top of the cylinder. The machine can also be connected to larger external CO2 cylinders (for professional use and/or under the sink).
