Are all Water Cooler Suppliers the same?

Are all Water Cooler Suppliers the same?

by | Oct 8, 2020 | mains fed water cooler, Water Coolers

We don’t believe so. There is a multitude of water cooler suppliers in the UK.  What sets AquAid apart are the inclusions integral to what we provide with each watercooler purchase. These aren’t add-ons – although we offer those too – these are inclusions that we and many satisfied customers believe to be what makes AquAid the preferred water cooler supplier across the UK.

So you have now had your brand new high-quality water cooler installed and your first question is:

We have a Bottled Water Cooler – how often will I get a water delivery?

Depending on the size of your business and usage, we offer a variety of delivery schedules. We therefore offer weekly, fortnightly and monthly bottled water deliveries to meet your hydration requirements.

What if we run out of water?

AquAid offers all our customers a free-of-charge emergency service should you run out of water. We know the importance of keeping hydrated and will always do our best to avoid situations that will leave you without any drinking water.

How often will my water cooler be serviced and do I have to call to book the service?

As per the WHA guidelines, we sanitise all Bottled Water Coolers every 3 months and Mainsfed Water Coolers are serviced every 6 months. These services are performed by our experienced WHA accredited service technicians and should take no longer than 20 minutes of your time. You do not need to remind us to service your machine. Our systems automatically let us know as and when your machines are due for their service.

Hmm, fair enough … but I am a little concerned about how this bottled water is getting to us in terms of your carbon footprint. Is my AquAid local?

It most definitely is – AquAid have 23 distribution points across the UK, which means that your water cooler, water and water cups deliveries; as well as your water cooler maintenance and servicing all originates from your local AquAid branch.

Now, the biggie – what else sets AquAid apart from other water cooler suppliers?

Since AquAid began operating over two decades ago, we believed and continue to believe, that donating to charities that provide sustainable solutions for those less fortunate is vitally important to a successful business.

We are understandably proud of our association with the charities that we work with. With every bottle of water that we supply, 30p is donated to The Africa Trust along with a £20 annual donation on each Mains Fed Water Cooler installation. Christian Aid also receives a 10p donation with every bottle of water that we supply. Some twenty-two years on, we are proud to report that the current total donation figure is in excess of £16 million pounds.

If you would like to enquire about our watercoolers, products and services, we welcome hearing from you.

Water Cooler Health: How Listening is Good for You

Water Cooler Health: How Listening is Good for You

by | Sep 23, 2020 | touch free water coolers, Water Coolers

It comes as no surprise that there are many of us who are experiencing increased eyestrain over the last few (years) months.

The catchphrase ‘Netflix and chill’ has taken on an entirely new meaning (and a probably one is that more apt); we have our eyes glued to screens without a break for countless hours – all of which is understandable considering current circumstances.

Eventually though, we reach a point of critical overload, with our brains fizzing and our eyes burning as we binge watch yet another series, all seasons of our favourite shows from before, every conceivable YouTube channel saved to Watch Later – it all becomes a bit much.

The good news is there is a wonderful solution – one where you can rest your weary peepers – relax (or not) and still feel a little more involved and engaged with the world ‘out there’.

Listening. Yep, that’s it. Just listen. Your choice of listening material is entirely yours. Whether you prefer the soothing tones of meditative audio, the evocative story telling of your favourite books, read by some of the best voices in the business (a personal favourite being Stuart MacBride narrating books he wrote) or audio of nature at her best, listening instead of listening and watching can be a tonic for your eyes, body and soul.

Of course, we wouldn’t be us if we didn’t sneak in a mention about one of the simplest routes to better health – yep, you guessed it: wherever you are, whatever you’re doing (or not doing), make sure you drink enough water. We say this as proper hydration is key to good cognitive and all over body function.

While you head out (figuratively, not literally) on your listening journey, it’s good to bear in mind that at AquAid, we continue to operate responsibly. Whether you need your Bottle-Fed water cooler topped up, a delivery of refreshing bottled water or want to install the latest from our range of Touch-Free Water Coolers, contact us. We’re listening.

AquAid Water Coolers: How We Help Our Environment

AquAid Water Coolers: How We Help Our Environment

by | Sep 15, 2020 | water cooler, Water Coolers

As today is the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, we decided to highlight a number of other possibly lesser-known advantages you benefit from when you install water coolers from AquAid.

Kinder to the environment

By using a water cooler dispenser, you are helping to protect our environment. We use billions of individual plastic water bottles each year and millions end up in our rubbish each day. By drinking water from a re-usable water bottle and refilling our water bottles from a water cooler, we can significantly reduce this number. This means that you can still enjoy the convenience of having water with you at all times and be safe in the knowledge that you are lessening the harmful impact on the environment.

More branches local to you

With more than 23 branches positioned across the UK, our multiple distribution centres allow us to be nearer to our customers – shorter delivery distances reduce fuel usage and associated carbon emissions.

Water from source

Our three sources of mineral and spring water, one each in England, Northern Ireland and Scotland, were all selected in large part due their central locations, which reduces the carbon footprint associated with the deliveries to our depots.

Creates opportunity and hope

At AquAid, an integral component of our business is helping those in need. This core belief is illustrated in each installation of our Mainsfed Water Coolers and each purchase of Bottled Water. We donate a portion of these revenues to charities that implement safe, sustainable water resources throughout Africa.

Whatever your water cooler requirements are, AquAid have over twenty two years of experience in the provision of the right AquAid water cooler for your work space – wherever you’re situated and whatever space you occupy throughout England, Northern Ireland and Scotland.

How to Help Children Hydrate More

How to Help Children Hydrate More

by | Jun 24, 2020 | bottle fed water coolers, water cooler, Water Coolers, water dispenser

It is no surprise that teaching our children to drink water more may appear a task easier said than done. However, as many adults, parents and teachers know, there is a secret weapon in our arsenal. It stems from a well-known phrase: lead by example. It may seem rather tired and a bit worn out nevertheless, it is true and it is effective.

How?

Children often emulate adult behaviour, especially those adults with whom they have daily interaction. If you as the carer of a child are seen to drink water regularly, it is more probable that a child will be better encouraged to do the same, instead of merely telling the child to drink water without any example shown.

Why?

The results from a great deal of research, including a recent study at the University of East London , show that children are better able to concentrate, retain information, take part in activities and are able to better function overall the more hydrated they are.

Method?

Uninterrupted access to refreshing spring and filtered water – maintained at a pleasing ambient or chilled temperature – all at the press of a button. With more than 22 branches nationwide, this is easily achieved by installing a water cooler from AquAid.

Benefits?

Healthier and happier children of course. With AquAid, there are added benefits and these are at no additional cost to your school, academy, college or university.

For each Mainsfed Water Dispenser we install, a portion of that revenue is donated to charities. Charities such as Christian Aid the AquAid founded Africa Trust. These donations are utilised to implement clean water resources where they are needed most, like in schools and villages, in countries throughout Africa. At AquAid, we understand that helping others is key component to a healthy and strong organisation as is attested by our collective 30 years of supporting these charities.
