No matter which sector you are in whether it is construction, health, leisure, education or the public sector it’s important to have the right cooler or fountain for your work environment.

Things to consider include:

• Whether you want a bottled water cooler or a drinking water fountain?
• How many water coolers or fountains you might need?
• Do you need to cater for children?
• What sort of look do you want, sophisticated or simple?
• Do you want to rent or buy?

There are differences between the bottled water coolers and the drinking water fountains, the main one being cost. A bottled water cooler will end up costing more over a 12 month period than an installed drinking water fountain. With a drinking water fountain there’s no sanitisation fee to pay, nor is there a fee to pay for water bottles or a water bottle deposit, just a monthly machine fee.

If you choose a drinking water fountain you will also benefit from no heavy lifting of water bottles, no storage problems, no paperwork, no delivery issues and best of all, you will never run out of water as you’ll have a constant supply of fresh water 365 days a year. If you decide to go with a water fountain from Drinking Water Fountains all rental prices include installation, full servicing and six monthly sanitisation and filter changes.

It’s important to have a clean water supply in the office environment that is easily accessible to all staff members, not only to prevent dehydration, but to increase productivity amongst staff. Studies have shown people who drink more water and are well hydrated can perform at an optimal level throughout the day compared to those who do not drink much water. The standard amount of water recommended for adults is eight glasses per day. Although there’s no standard formula for determining this as everyone is different and it depends how much you weigh, how active you are and what climate you live in as to how much water is beneficial for you, however the general recommendation is eight glasses.

Being dehydrated is not ideal in any situation, least of all at work where you need your energy and mind power. Being dehydrated can drain you of your energy, cause you to be tired and can lead to serious consequences so it’s important to keep hydrated and keep up your water intake at home and in the office.

 Having a drinking water fountain, or bottled water cooler, in walking distance to your desk will help you in many ways to keep hydrated. If you do not have easy access to a water fountain or cooler at work, let someone in your workplace know immediately so arrangements can be made for one to be installed.

If you are thinking of installing a drinking water fountain in your office there are a number of different water fountains to consider. There’s floorstanding or wall mounted from a variety of different brands. Drinking Water Fountains is proud to stock both floorstanding and wall mountains fountains from trusted brands such as Elkay and the aesthetically pleasing Enki drinking water fountain available for rent or to purchase.
