LOKNI
Where can you find LOKNI everywhere?
There are a total of nine filtration facilities at the VŠE – 2024 REPORT CZ
In the VŠE dormitories:
Blanice dormitory
Vltava dormitory
Palachova dormitory
Jarov (outdoor) – free of charge
At Blanice, Vltava, and Palachova dormitories, refilling filtered water for free is impossible because partners do not yet sponsor the filtering devices. You must select a subscription using the LOKNI app to use the facilities at these locations.
The following locations are located on the VŠE campus in Žižkov:
Old building, first floor
New building, by the lecture rooms (2x)
Italian Building, third floor
LOKNI is newly introduced at the dormitories: filtered water into your bottle
It is good news for anybody who likes filtered water and at the same time wants to take some burden off Nature’s shoulders and save some unnecessary plastics. At the dormitories Blanice and Vltava, you can now find the LOKNI filtration device for water and draw sparkling or still water of the best quality.
LOKNI is an alternative to bottled water and helps to save PET bottles as you draw the water into your bottles.
How do you draw water?
Students and staff of the dormitories download the LOKNI/Filtermac application, register themselves, and choose a tariff (Monthly, Yearly, or Yearly with a Bottle). The price is approximately 1 CZK per 3 litres a day. Having opened the application, they can see a QR code, scan it quickly in the LOKNI scanner, and immediately draw either sparkling or still water.
Look at the video tutorial.
Advantages of drawing via the app?
Everybody has a perfect overview of their water intake, and the daily limit is 3 liters of water. They can see their personal statistics – i.e., how many kilograms of plastics and how many PET bottles they have saved, and also the amount of CO2 that would have been produced during the transportation of the bottled water. At the same time, they get the statistics of the school’s whole community.

Why drink from LOKNI?
Thanks to the complex filtration using the filters of active coal, the LOKNI machine not only removes all the undesirable tastes and smells from the water but also all the particles and impurities bigger than 0.5 microns commonly found in tap water. Thanks to the special treatment of the water using UV light, all the unwanted bacteria and microorganisms are damaged.
LOKNI and the University of Economics and Business
VŠE has offered the alternative to bottled water since August 2017, when the first LOKNI machine was installed at Jarov. The second (2018) and the third (2019) are available in the old building at Žižkov. Next are available at Palachova dormitory at Jarov Campus, and two at Blanice and Vltava dormitories since 2021. Students and staff have helped to save about 13 tons of plastics (519 200 PET bottles).
Even though less water was drunk at schools during the COVID year, also thanks to VŠE, we have managed to save 4 535 808 PET bottles – the number of bottles that have never left the production lines.
