The human body depends on water to survive, yet it cannot store water and loses water throughout the day. This means that we need to continually drink water in order to maintain our fluid levels at a constant approximate 70% for good health.
No drinking water regularly in order to stay hydrated will lead to dehydration, which means that the body cannot function optimally. Mild dehydration begins at 2% loss of fluids and can result in thirst, headaches, fatigue, cognitive dissonance, and far more.
Further dehydration is no small matter and can result in less optimal brain function; stiff and sore joints; dry skin; the heart having to work harder to pump the blood containing electrolytes, oxygen, and lymph throughout the body; muscle spasms; kidney problems and more.
Investing in a water cooler is one good method of ensuring that we drink sufficient water throughout the day because water coolers give us easy access to pure, chilled, great-tasting drinking water virtually 24/7.
There are different types of water coolers available to suit your personal circumstances and budget, such as bottled water coolers and mains or Point of Use (POU) water coolers which are directly plumbed into your main water supply.
The Advantages of Water coolers include:
- Countertop water coolers are portable and easy to store when not in use
- They provide filtered drinking water virtually 24/7, which makes it easy for vulnerable groups such as the elderly and the very young, who often suffer most from the effects of dehydration, to access drinking water
- Access to drinking water that is hygienic: Although water is treated before being piped into the home, various impurities such as lead, copper, aluminium, pesticides, fluoride and chlorine-by products as well as both pharmaceutical and recreational drugs can still be found in your drinking water. Water coolers have filters that remove all these impurities from the water.
- Water coolers placed in schools, sports complexes, hospitals and homes for the elderly ensure that everyone has easy access to chilled, refreshing drinking water whenever they want it
