Swisspro – Sustainable Water Treatment Solutions

While large industries might like you to believe otherwise, care for our earth is no longer in the hands of individuals. Governments, corporations, and institutions must lift their game to make a positive impact and turn around the mess we’ve made of our planet. As individuals, we can surely educate, speak up and make conscious choices, but it’s time the big players stepped up to the mark too.

One of the most impactful things the hospitality industry can do for the environment and health of our people is to remove single-use plastic bottles for drinking water and personal hygiene (such as liquid soaps and shampoos given as bathroom amenities). In the past, this shift was not so straightforward. However, with the introduction of Swisspro to Malaysia, an integrated, sustainable water treatment solution provider, abolishing single-use plastic for water is easily achieved.

Integrated & Sustainable Water Treatment Systems for Malaysia

Swisspro owner, Mr Marco Preisig, says that back in 1989, when doing his language studies in Mexico, he experienced “Montezuma’s Revenge,” the local lingo for traveller’s diarrhea. “Caused by contaminated water, the illness left such a significant impact” that his next appointment was as the general manager of a water treatment company in Mexico City!

Marco has since travelled the world researching and working in the industry. Introducing Swisspro to Singapore 18 years ago, he built a loyal following and now brings water solutions to the Malaysian market. His vision for Swisspro is “to not merely sell water filters, but to provide tailor-made and integrated smart drinking water solutions including back-end IoT communication platforms for high-end customers.” 

He asserts that “Swisspro starts where others end. We provide in-depth experience and consulting in all relevant hospitality areas, including food and beverage, seminars and guestrooms. Comparative proposals are generated for centralized, floor-based and in-room systems making it easy for businesses to analyze the pros and cons of each. Additionally, Swisspro is committed to providing 24/7 maintenance and service.”

Why Swisspro?

Swisspro is an excellent choice for those in the hospitality industry seeking solutions that are of premium quality, environmentally sustainable and offer an enhanced guest experience.

Premium Quality: Swisspro utilizes Swiss-made filtration technology with over 90 years of manufacturing experience in Switzerland. Every filter is tested and meets the industry’s most stringent standards to produce natural-tasting drinking water with essential minerals retained in every pour. The filters are Halal-Certified as well as NSF-Certified. The filtration technology is so high-grade that it is even used by the military and for disaster relief.

Swisspro places high importance on not only safety but taste as well. The solution has been designed to produce premium drinking water just as if it were freshly captured from a natural spring. In Europe, particularly Germany, sparkling water consumption is some of the highest in the world. Hence, both still and sparkling water solutions are widely adopted in hotels and restaurants for a consumer base with a refined palate for premium H2O. The subtle effervescence and natural flavour coming from a Swisspro tap are far superior to anything that has been bottled, imported and left in storage for who knows how long.

Environmental Sustainability: Simply installing high-quality water filtration solutions can do away with thousands of single-use plastic bottles. I’ve stayed at several hotels where refill stations show the number of bottles refilled on each floor. Even in places that have been running for less than a year, it’s in the 100s of thousands. Hard Rock Hotel Desaru Coast (not using Swisspro, but a fine example of just how much plastic can be saved by having a water filtration system on-site) has done away with over three million plastic bottles in three years! (And two of those years were over the pandemic!)

Additionally, with solutions that purify, heat and add bubbles, Swisspro enables hotels, restaurants and bars to say goodbye to kettles and imported sparkling water. Furthermore, the essential components of Swisspro are made of natural and biodegradable materials that are long-lasting and reusable. 

Enhanced Guest Experience: With the installation of Swisspro filtration solutions, hotel guests have access to premium quality drinking water 24/7. There’s no need to call staff for refills, and room aesthetics are upgraded with style and functionality.

A touch of luxury and convenience is also afforded to convention centres, meeting rooms, bars, and restaurants. Guests can self-refill, or staff can provide the service. Food and beverage outlets can give guests access to quality still and sparkling water at hugely reduced prices. The most recent restaurants I visited in KL charged between RM 15 and RM 21 for bottled still and sparkling water. Comparing this to a bistro in the city already implementing a filtration system is mind-blowing. At the latter, still water is charged RM 1 per glass and sparkling RM 5! These prices are sure to please many guests.

Time To Do Your Part

In the words of Jane Goodall, “You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of a difference you want to make.” Isn’t it time to support our hospitality industry in being leaders of positive change? Let’s say goodbye to single-use plastic, hello to better-tasting water and welcome a new wave of sustainable luxury with Swisspro.
