With all the talk of toxins in our freshwater, including often in the very water that is piped into our home and businesses, it is a good idea to find an alternate source of drinking water that is totally toxin-free and does not cost the earth.
Bottled water has become quite popular over the past decade or so, but it can become rather expensive, and many of the brands that are sold to us under the guise of being healthy for us contain nothing more than the same tap water that we are drinking, just at an exorbitant price. The bottles are also a problem as most of them do not get recycled but end up in landfills across the globe, which is bad for the environment.
It is important that we hydrate fully however, as our bodies rely on water to function optimally, so what are our options for potable, nice-tasting, toxin-free drinking water? Office coolers certainly provide a welcome alternative and are becoming more popular as companies realise the importance of keeping their staff members hydrated at work.
5 Reasons to Invest in an Office Water Cooler
Office water coolers are offered in two different styles; mains or point-of-use (POU) office water coolers, which are plumbed directly into your main water line, and bottled water coolers which are more suited to smaller offices with storage space for both empty and full bottles.
Water coolers come in various models, some of which offer cold, ambient and hot water options, and others which basically clean themselves. Whichever model suits your needs and budget, office water coolers offer some great advantages:
- Environmentally Friendly: Office water coolers are good for the environment as they provide clear, clean, crisp drinking water virtually continuously which means that you do not need to purchase bottled water, so it saves on tones of plastic bottles being dumped into landfills.
- Taste and Temperature: Water cooler water tastes great because all of the toxins such as fluoride which can give the water a strange smell and/or taste have been removed, and various models offer water at chilled, ambient or hot temperatures.
- Hygienic: Office water coolers are hygienic and sanitary, unlike taps which often gather germs from all the hands that use them.
- Convenient: Office water coolers are both efficient and convenient – they provide continuous and immediate access to fresh, sanitary drinking water.
- Productivity: Office water coolers increase productivity because when staff are fully hydrated they can think better, perform better and longer and get ill less often.
