Aqualogic

What Aqualogic does

Aqualogic is an Irish water solutions company founded in 1988 by Managing Director Derek Maguire and headquartered at 18 South Bank, Crosses Green, Cork. It provides mains-fed water coolers, under-sink filtration systems, and filter replacement / sanitation services to residential, commercial, and institutional (school and gym) customers across Ireland. The commercial portfolio centres on Oasis-manufactured platforms — Kalix (push button, contactless, foot-pedal, CO2 sparkling variants), Aquarius, Quarrtz, and Polaris — supplemented by a schools/gyms line of contactless Versafiller, Aquapointe, and free-standing dispensers. Domestic products include under-counter chillers (Iceberg, RLF8Y), chrome tap assemblies, and a range of Everpure and Doulton ceramic cartridges plus a patented OASIS Green Filter System in which only biodegradable media is replaced.

The underlying technology is predominantly physical rather than digital: Direct Chill pressure-vessel cooling delivers mains water to the dispense point without stagnation, supporting hygiene claims; UV-C LED disinfection modules (mercury-free, 99.99% / 4-log pathogen reduction) and Ultra Blu UV sterilisers (6,000-hour service life) treat dispensed water; contactless infrared sensors (Kalix Contactless) and foot-pedal actuators provide hands-free activation. The product catalogue carries multi-jurisdictional compliance (ISO 9001, CE, WRAS, UL, CCC, SASO, ACS) consistent with the company's positioning as Ireland's largest specialist mains-fed water cooler provider, but no AI/ML, predictive-analytics, or connected-IoT layer is visible in the offering.

The revenue model combines three streams: one-time hardware sales (domestic coolers €60-€650, accessories up to €125), recurring consumable replacement (filters €80-€260, replaced every ~2,500 gallons or 6 months), and managed service contracts covering installation, sanitisation, parts, labour, and call-out repair on scheduled 6-month visits. Go-to-market is hybrid: a Shopify e-commerce storefront for self-serve domestic and small-business purchases, plus a quote-based, field-engineer-led motion for commercial and institutional deployments. Pricing on commercial coolers (Kalix CO2, Aquarius, Quarrtz, Polaris commercial) is quote-based and tends toward multi-year enterprise terms, whereas domestic pricing is unit-based. Distribution is single-country (Ireland).
