Which BIBO is right for you?

Both the BIBO bar and the BIBO X deliver the same thing: instant boiling and chilled filtered water, always there, always pure. The difference is in how much you want your BIBO to know about you.

BIBO Bar

The one that started it all. Over a decade of trusted performance in South African homes, offices and spaces that take water seriously. The BIBO Bar is a plumbed-in countertop classic that delivers instant boiling and chilled filtered water with quiet confidence — and without ever letting you down. Touch panel controls. Up to 11 colour options. Proven filtration. Everything you need, nothing you don’t.

Simple. Sophisticated. Reliable. And still the one.

BIBO X

The countertop BIBO we got slightly carried away with. Same instant boiling and chilled filtered water. Uncompromising filtration. A 7″ HD touchscreen, precise temperature and volume control, up to 12 personalised presets, lifetime UV-LED purification, and enough room for the tall bottles and flasks you actually use.

Smarter. More personal. Designed to be seen.

A shortcut to the right one

Choose the BIBO Bar if:

You want proven, reliable performance in a compact footprint. You value colour options that match your space. You want great water without any complexity. The Bar has been doing its job exceptionally well for over a decade — and it will keep doing it.

Choose the BIBO X if:

You want to go further. More control over your water, more personalisation for everyone in the household, smarter energy management, and a design that earns its place on the counter. The BIBO X is the choice for someone who wants their water appliance to work as hard as they do — and look considerably better doing it.

Not sure?

Both BIBOs deliver pure, great-tasting filtered water. The question is really about how much you want to customise the experience. If you’d like help deciding, get in touch.
