Why Every Office Needs a Boiling, Chilled, and Sparkling Water Tap
There are so many reasons! These taps are cost-effective, eco-friendly, safe, convenient, fun, and stylish.
A boiling- and chilled-water dispenser unit puts an end to queues at coffee break, excessive steam, limescale in your drinks, and the risk of dangerous spills.
With sparkling water on tap, staff can liven up fruit juice with a bit of fizz, or just enjoy the fresh, tingling sensation of chilled carbonated water.
The many reasons why every office needs a boiling-, chilled-, and sparkling-water tap can be summed up, really, in three big reasons:
Stop using plastic bottles. Keep staff hydrated. Show off your brand’s professionalism.
1. Join the fight against plastic pollution
In the UK, around seven-and-a-half billion plastic bottles of water are purchased every year. Once the brand-new plastic bottles are made, they have to be filled, and whether they’re taken to the water or vice versa, there’s transportation involved. Next step: the packaged water is transported to thousands of commercial outlets. Over the course of each year, seven-and-a-half billion bottles of water are purchased in the UK; the water is consumed; the bottle is (in 55% of cases) disposed of and collected by a refuse collection vehicle that chomps through a gallon of fuel every four miles.
Much of this discarded plastic ends up in landfill – and a lot of it finds its way into the sea. Plastic has only been around for 150 years, and already this non-biodegradable material is clogging up the oceans and filling up the land. Plastic pollution is affecting thousands of animal species as it spreads through the food chains.
Celluloid, the world’s first artificial polymer, was invented in 1869. The killing of elephants for their ivory was getting out of hand, and this new material, celluloid, was welcomed as an eco-friendly alternative. Now the plastic itself is an ecological hazard.
How do we slow down this assault on the natural environment?
By not buying bottled water.
And this is one reason why every office needs a boiling-, chilled-, and sparkling-water tap.
2. Keep hydrated
Headaches, palpitations, memory loss, lack of concentration, depression, insomnia, urine infection, constipation, disorientation, tiredness, kidney failure, dry mouth, bad breath, sore joints, irritability, confusion, dizziness …
All symptoms of dehydration.
More than half of the human body is made up of water. Without water, we die. Without enough water, we can’t function at full capacity.
Every single one of a body’s trillions of cells depends on water for survival.
Blood (78% water) carries nutrients to each cell, and works most effectively when well diluted. A high volume of low-concentration blood will flow freely, saving strain on the heart and enabling the production of neurotransmitters for effective cognition.
Our built-in shock absorbers, cerebrospinal fluid (which protects the brain) and synovial fluid (which cushions and lubricates our joints), are made up mostly of water. One of the effects of chronic dehydration is accelerated deterioration of the joints. Physical discomfort as a result of sore, aching joints – or other conditions associated with dehydration, such as constipation, kidney stones, and headaches – can have a detrimental effect on productivity.
Water, however, can’t be stored up in our bodies. It’s always just passing through. So, water intake needs to be frequent and plentiful.
This is another reason why every office needs a boiling-, chilled-, and sparkling-water tap.
