CF400 HYDRATION STATIONS RETURN TO THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN 2026

Having already proven themselves across the Melbourne Park precinct in previous years, the CF400 range is once again doing what it does best: delivering reliable drinking water in a fast-paced, high-traffic environment. With thousands of spectators, athletes, officials and staff moving through the grounds each day (often in peak summer heat), access to water is essential, not optional.

INCLUSIVE BY DESIGN FROM DAY ONE

Accessibility has always been part of the CF400 story at the Australian Open. The original hydration stations supplied to the precinct included CF400 DDA-compliant units, ensuring inclusive access to drinking water from the outset, not as an afterthought.

Designed in line with Australian accessibility standards, the CF400 DDA models feature wheelchair-friendly heights, generous knee and toe clearance, and simple one-handed push-button operation. Clear space around each unit allows for comfortable use with mobility aids, helping ensure hydration points are welcoming and usable for everyone across the precinct.

BUILT FOR BIG CROWDS, DESIGNED TO GO THE DISTANCE

The continued use of CF400 hydration stations at the Australian Open reinforces a simple idea: great infrastructure is designed once and relied on for years. Rather than requiring regular replacement, the CF400 is built for longevity—supporting sustainable outcomes, reducing lifecycle costs and delivering dependable performance season after season.

From elite athletes refuelling between matches to spectators spending hours courtside, the CF400 continues to play a quiet but essential role—providing accessible, reliable hydration at one of the world’s biggest sporting stages.

PROVEN ON THE WORLD STAGE, READY FOR YOUR SPACE

If you’re planning hydration infrastructure for a school, council, sporting precinct or public space, the CF400 range offers a reliable, inclusive solution built to perform long-term.
