AquAid’s Mains Fed Water Cooler Range: The 21st Century

AquAid’s Mains Fed Water Cooler Range: The 21st Century

It’s easy to see why the 21st Century water dispenser is one of AquAid’s most popular Mains-Fed water dispensers.

The AquAid 21st Century Water Dispenser is the largest capacity machine on the market. This water dispenser, which is plumbed into your mains supply, uses a special 11ℓ cold water reservoir which is almost 4 times larger than the tanks in other Mains Fed dispensers.

This machine is a real work horse and is well suited for installation in areas where there is a very high usage or where people constantly refill their water bottles.

The AquAid 21st Century offers an option of anti-bacterial taps which are specifically for use in high usage areas. These silver impregnated taps are excellent for killing bacteria, reducing the likelihood of cross contamination.

Due to its large water capacity this Mains-Fed Water Dispenser is only available as a floor standing model.

The 21st Century is best suited for installation in high usage areas such as Large Companies; Medical Facilities; Universities, Colleges and Schools.

Servicing and sanitising your 21st Century High Capacity Cooler

Not only do we provide top quality water coolers like the 21st Century, we also install and service the machines for you.  All of our machines are installed by our EDWCA accredited service technicians and as per the EDWCA guidelines; we sanitise all mains-fed water dispensers every 6 months.

For all your water and water cooler requirements, contact us at AquAid today. With over 20 years of experience and more than 22 branches nationwide, we’re perfectly positioned to provide you with the right water dispenser to meet your drinking water requirements.

Corporate Social Responsibility and your AquAid water dispenser

Installing an AquAid 21st Century Mains Fed Water Dispenser benefits not only you and your staff, by supplying you with drinking water at a push of a button, but also those in need on other continents.

Should you install four Mains Fed plumbed-in water dispensers, a water well, bearing your organisation’s name, will be built in Africa on your behalf.

However, be assured that If you don’t take 4 plumbed-in units, we will still donate a portion of the revenue from our sales to the charities that we support.

Water is … progress

Water is … progress

There’s a quote in a meme that’s been doing the rounds on social media for a few years now. It shows a group of women and girls carrying water in containers balancing on their heads taken as they walk towards the photographer. The quote reads:

People experience a lack of water resources, access to water and prolonged drought across the globe, and although we may have all needed to fetch and carry water at times throughout our lives, for millions of people this is not a temporary situation but a daily occurrence.

According to a 2007 report from FAO around 2 billion people, or almost one-fifth of the world’s population, live in areas of scarcity. Another 1.6 billion people, or almost one quarter of the world’s population, face economic water shortage (where countries lack the necessary infrastructure to take water from rivers and aquifers).

As an example, in drought stricken regions throughout Africa, like in rural Zimbabwe, most households have to travel up to 7 miles to the nearest water source.

There is hope though, with organisations across the world committed to combating dire water shortages brought about by climate change and other natural phenomenon.

Two such organisations are Christian Aid and the Africa Trust.  Working alongside stakeholders such as AquAid, these two charities have for decades provided solutions that bring clean water to thousands of communities around the globe.

If you are interested in finding out how having a water cooler from AquAid provides access to clean water to people in need, for life, please get in touch. We would be delighted to assist.

Guest blog: AquAid and MRS Training & Rescue

At AquAid, we’ve been in the business of water provision for over 20 years, supplying a broad range of high quality water coolers and drinking water to customers throughout the UK.

We value our customers as we understand that they are the backbone to our business, enabling us to grow from our humble beginnings in 1998 to now, one of the UK’s largest water cooler suppliers.

Just as important to us, and an integral part of our business ethos since we began, is our commitment to helping those in need.  In this manner AquAid have, to date, donated more than £12 million and have helped more than 5 million people.

Another organisation, and a valued customer, committed to helping people in need is MRS Training & Rescue.

About MRS Training & Rescue

For over 100 years, MRS Training & Rescue (formerly known as Mines Rescue Service), has developed specialist skills, experience and knowledge gained from working in difficult and potentially dangerous environments, to effect the rescue and escape of mine workers from underground.

However, given the gradual decline of the coal mines over many years, they have been able to expand and diversify to meet the needs of today’s health and safety market. MRS Training & Rescue have been able to secure long term success by leveraging their expertise, and have branched out from underground mining into providing unique rescue services, specialist equipment, consultancy and a comprehensive range of accredited health and safety related products, training and services to a wide range of industries, including nuclear, aerospace, manufacturing and utilities.

MRS Training & Rescue and the Elephant Pump

In order to keep the MRS Training & Rescue team healthy and hydrated while at work, they decided to invest in water coolers from AquAid at their sites at Mansfield, Swadlincote and Knottingley.  With each water cooler and bottle of water purchased a donation has been made to the Africa Trust, an AquAid funded charity.

This means that thanks to MRS Training & Rescue’s custom, a water well (affectionately known as an Elephant Pump) will be installed in Africa and will provide safe, clean drinking water for hundreds of people in a community.

AquAid’s Mains Fed Water Cooler Range: The Fusion

AquAid’s Mains Fed Water Cooler Range: The Fusion

Having the right water dispenser is vitally important. At AquAid we’re here to help guide you about which machine is right for your drinking water needs – Mains Fed or Bottle Fed? Floor Standing or Desktop?

It’s easy to see why the Floor Standing AquAid Fusion  is one of AquAid’s most popular water dispensers.

With an ultra-stylish design, this mains-fed cooler combines both chilled fresh and piping hot fresh water in one streamlined machine and is proving to be extremely popular in work spaces of up to 10-15 staff in meeting their requirements for both chilled and boiling water.

The on-trend dark graphite colour of the AquAid Fusion  makes it suitable for use in any area in the workplace, including your office, kitchen or factory; and the Hygiene Guard silver impregnated dispense tap reduces bacteria transfer and cross contamination.

Desktop

Like the Fusion Floor Standing, but are short on space? Then the Desktop version is perfect for your requirements.  This streamlined dispenser requires a minimal 488mm(H) in height of countertop space and complements most work areas.  Once installed, the Fusion will easily dispense up to 18ℓ of chilled drinking water and up to 7 cups of boiling water.

This innovative machine also offers a host of other features: a proven energy consumption reduction of 25%; an integral cup dispenser, and the Hygiene Guard silver impregnated dispense tap reduces bacteria transfer and cross contamination.

Installation and servicing

Not only do we provide top quality water coolers such as the Fusion, we also install and service the machines for you.  All of our machines are installed by our EDWCA accredited service technicians and as per the EDWCA guidelines; we sanitise all mains-fed water dispensers every 6 months.

For all your water and water cooler requirements, contact us at AquAid today. With over 20 years of experience and more than 22 branches nationwide, we’re perfectly positioned to provide you with the right water dispenser to meet your drinking water requirements.

Drink water and pay it forward this summer

Drink water and pay it forward this summer

As the temperatures soar throughout the UK, so does the demand for chilled, refreshing drinking water.

At AquAid, where we’ve been in the business of providing a range of high quality water coolers and water both spring and bottled at source for over 20 years, we understand this more than most. That’s why it’s important to us to be able to ensure that we’re able to offer the very best in both water dispensers and bottled water.

But we’re not just about the provision on water coolers – we also firmly believe that providing water to those that may not necessarily have access to water as we do – is absolutely vital.

If we struggle with keeping hydrated in this heat, take a minute and imagine what it would be like experiencing hot weather but not having access, not only to drinking water, but any water, at all. Sadly, this is a reality for millions of people across the globe, and in particular, in many Third World countries.

Then, to this rather scary scenario, add this: If you want drinking water, you need to walk to find it. And not just down to the corner caf, but a few miles.  If you’re lucky enough to find a water source, you can’t just buy a bottle of water (or any liquid for that matter); you have to fill the bucket that you brought with you and walk back home, carrying the now full bucket.

Not enough Bear Grylls for you? The water that you’ve just fetched is most likely not fresh, not clean and may be so full of bacteria, that even while trying to hydrate yourself, you may very well be making yourself ill without even realising it.

Remember, this is just water for you (and possibly, members of your family) to drink. This is not water that is needed to wash your clothes or your dishes or to water your meagre produce crop with. This is just water to drink to keep you going. This is basic human survival type of stuff.

This is the day to day existence for many communities throughout the Third World and in the summer months, lack of potable water is amplified by the heat.

That’s just one of the reasons, since our rather humble beginnings in 1998, that we chose to work with sustainable charities like the Africa Trust and Christian Aid. Using donations from AquAid, both charities work tirelessly implementing sustainable water projects for communities in need.

So, although we’re always tooting our own horn about being one of the top water cooler providers in the U.K. we also (truly) believe in helping others less fortunate to help themselves. So, while we have you to thank, most valued customer, for your support and through your purchases making it possible for others to help themselves; isn’t it rather nice to know that when you’re sipping cool spring water from one of our water coolers, there’s another water well or water project being installed in Africa, bringing fresh, clean drinking water to yet another community in need?

I think so. Good on yer. Toot toot!

Why a Mains Fed Water Cooler is right for your requirements

Why a Mains Fed Water Cooler is right for your requirements

Knowing which type of water cooler is a good fit for your premises (or office, or medical facility or learning institution) can be a little tricky. This article will help demystify the options and point you to the right cooler.

AquAid has more than 20 years’ experience in the provision of water dispensers and have installed over 28,000 Mains Fed machines throughout the UK.

From your first point of contact, whether it’s from our website, a phone call or a meeting with one of our friendly sales team, you will be dealing with an experienced member of the AquAid, who will be able to guide you in the correct type of water cooler for your requirements.

Why would you install a Mains Fed water cooler?

Mains Fed water dispensers are a cost effective alternative to bottled water machines. The average bottled water customer could save up to 70% by switching to a mains-fed cold water machine.

Not only this, a mains fed water cooler connects to your mains supply and uses a unique, high quality 1 micron water filtration system to deliver water that’s as refreshing and pure as water from bottle fed water coolers.

Select of our Mains Fed coolers also have the capacity to provide high volumes of both chilled and hot drinking water, all simply at the press of a button.

Where would you install a Mains Fed water dispenser?

Because a Mains Fed cooler has the capacity to generate large volumes of refreshing drinking water, the machines are best suited for installation in any large traffic areas such as:

Warehouses;

Large corporate, Medical or Educational environments and

Larger kitchens and offices.

Will you need to service your cooler?

Not at all. Not only do these water coolers offer quality at good value; installing and maintaining them couldn’t be simpler, as our trained engineers take care of all installations and ongoing maintenance.

To find out more about the best Mains Fed water cooler to suit your requirements, contact us at AquAid, either via our contact page or on 0800 772 3003. We look forward to being able to assist you.
