There is no exact ‘expiry’ date for the lifespan of any Billi unit. Environmental considerations including water condition and quality as well as usage patterns will define how wear & tear impacts product lifespan.

There a number of key variables that can contribute to wear & tear and therefore how long your Billi unit will last. If you have (but not limited to);

• actively changed filters as needed (12 months minimum on residential and 6 months minimum on commercial sites)
• performed regular servicing including maintenance as required. Note: This may require replacement or repair of components under normal conditions
• met the units install &  commissioning requirements
• not exposed the unit to any abnormal operating conditions such as excessive temperature or moisture exposure
• appropriate specification for site usage ie not under sizing the unit for the demand required

There is no reason why the unit won’t last past 8 years or more.

Although our units are covered by a warranty period, consumable items are not included this. This includes any filter/s fitted to our units as the water quality supplied to the unit and subsequently to the filter, is beyond the control of Billi.

Good question. Filters can accumulate organic matter via the filtration process leading to biofilm development. Filters must be replaced every 12 months (maximum), dependent on local conditions, whether used frequently or not.

Instructions for changing your filter on a Billi unit are provided within your user manual. A copy of the instructions is also included with any new filter purchase. You can also visit our website for “How To” videos under the support tab.

This may be down to wear and tear on a component within the unit that controls the flow of water. Please call our Customer Care team on 0800 636 0 636 to arrange a service on your unit.

It may be because the ice bank has frozen over but don’t worry, there is an easy fix. Simply turn off your unit for 24-48 hours so the ice bank can thaw, adjust your thermostat dial located on the front of the sparkling module down to between 5 – 6 and power the unit back on once thawed. Allow approximately an hr for the unit to chill back down to the now correctly set temperature before use.

The optimal setting for your Sparkling water unit is between 5 & 6 on the thermostat dial.
