Follett Champion 7 Ice and Water Dispenser with Filtration
£5,916.00(£7,099.20 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Follett Champion 7 is a countertop ice and water dispenser designed for self-service environments where consistent access to chilled, filtered ice and water is required throughout the day. It produces nugget-style ice and dispenses water on demand, and this particular model includes an internal Claris water filter to improve ice quality and reduce scale build-up in hard-water areas.
In practice, the unit is well suited to continuous self-service use — common in hotel lobbies, staff canteens, healthcare facilities, and hospitality venues where guests or staff help themselves without operator intervention. The dispenser is drainless by design, which removes a significant practical constraint and makes it considerably easier to position in locations where running a drain would otherwise be complicated or costly.
From an operational standpoint, the Champion 7 brings together several features that matter in a managed service environment:
- Touchscreen interface with self-help diagnostics, reducing the need for staff involvement when minor issues arise
- Internal UV light and Agion antimicrobial protection to support ongoing hygiene standards
- Clean-light technology that prompts scheduled cleaning, helping operators maintain a consistent sanitation routine
- Drainless operation, allowing flexible placement without specialist drainage plumbing
- Claris internal water filtration for improved ice taste and reduced limescale accumulation
Installation is relatively straightforward compared with larger ice machines — the unit requires a cold water connection and a suitable power supply, but the absence of a drain requirement removes one of the more common installation complications. It is compact enough for countertop use, though the water line and power supply routing should be confirmed during site planning. The R290 refrigerant used carries a very low global warming potential, which may be relevant for operators working towards sustainability targets.
The Champion 7 is best suited to lower-to-medium volume self-service settings — typically those requiring modest daily ice output rather than high-throughput production for food preparation or busy bar service. For sites with significantly higher demand, a larger-capacity model would be worth considering. Equally, for locations where ice is needed purely for back-of-house use rather than self-service, a separate ice maker and storage bin may be a better fit.
If you are unsure whether this unit matches your site layout, water supply, or daily usage pattern, the team is happy to work through the details with you before you commit to a purchase.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Champion 7 suitable for a busy hotel or hospitality environment?
It is well suited to self-service settings such as hotel lobbies, breakfast areas, and staff facilities where demand is steady but not extreme. For very high-footfall venues where ice consumption is significantly higher throughout the day, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity unit would be a better match for your operation.
What are the installation requirements for this dispenser?
The unit requires a mains cold water connection and a suitable electrical supply. Importantly, it is drainless, so no drainage connection is needed — this is one of its key practical advantages when positioning in areas where running a drain would be difficult. Water line routing and power supply access should be confirmed during site planning before installation.
How does the Claris water filter affect ongoing maintenance?
The internal Claris filter helps reduce limescale accumulation and improves the taste of both ice and dispensed water, which is particularly useful in hard-water areas. The filter will require periodic replacement depending on water quality and usage volume — your water hardness level is worth factoring in when estimating filter change frequency.
