Business jet operators concerned about taking on drinking water for on-board beverages from third-world countries will be excited by a new product launch from Iacobucci HF Electronics.

The Italian electrical galley insert manufacturer, better known around the world for its galley inserts such as coffee and espresso machines for commercial and business aviation, is using EBACE to launch a new external water tank concept primarily for the business jet market. The concept is designed to keep the integrity of the water supply for coffee and other hot beverages.

“The External Water Tank is required more and more by executive jet operators that travel globally and might need bottled water for their coffee machines at any time. With a 2-litre capacity, it is the right size for the large majority of business jet galleys,” says Nicola Venchierutti, head of sales for the business aviation division.

“The External Water Tank works well for those travelling on private jets. For instance, if you’re conducting work around Africa we all know that the natural water is rarely drinkable unless it is bottled. Using the tank from the aircraft would avoid you having to fill up on local water or that used from other areas of the aircraft such as the bathroom,” Venchierutti says.
