With the current water supply situation in the UK getting more serious each day, it is time to consider installing a water cooler into your office or learning facility. We also need to look at how we use our water sparingly, as it is a resource that has a limit.
As the drought in certain areas of the UK start to increase, some areas might even be placed under water restrictions to ensure sufficient water for everyone. But what can we do to aid in protecting water, and ensuring that the restrictions do not become too strict?
The best place to start is in your home or office. Ensure that no taps are leaking or dripping for the entire day. If they are, get a technician in to fix the problem. Thousands of litres of drinkable water is lost every minute to drops and leaks everywhere. Another simple and practical water saving tip is to not let the water run while you are brushing your teeth in the morning. Often we do this, not thinking that all that water is literally going down the drain. Wet your toothbrush and switch the water off. When you need to rinse, then go ahead and do so. The same goes for the kitchen. Rather fill the basin with water and was your pots and pans that way, then rinse them clean in another basin of water when you are done. Do not wash with hot running water. It will save water and electricity fee each month, and it will aid the environment dramatically.
Imagine if just a thousand people could save 100L of water each day. That is 100’000 litres of water each day and 365’000000 litres of water each year.
The drought in certain parts of England might have an effect on mains fed water availability, but having a water cooler installed will ensure that you will always have clean, fresh and filtered water at your disposal. With companies’ like AquAid who get their water from a natural spring, they are not reliant on rainfall to ensure sufficient water and you will be able to rest assured that when you need water, they will always be ready and waiting to assist you.

We all love the water coolers in our offices and schools but, do you know if that water cooler is ever cleaned correctly? How many people touch the water cooler in your office each day? There is one water cooler supplier that cleans and sanitizers their water coolers every three months. The AquAid water cooler company cleans and sanitises their water coolers and water bottles at least every three months with an ozone generator.
Ozone (O3) is a gas very similar to normal oxygen (O2), just with an added oxygen molecule. How the ozone works is very interesting. The ozone molecules are reagents, meaning that they react when they come into contact with other particles or molecules. This reaction leads to the destruction of the substance that the ozone comes in contact with. The advantage that ozone has is that once it has reacted, it becomes harmless. In water the effect of ozone is that it will kill all unwanted bacteria, spores and viruses, leaving the water container and water dispenser clean, clear and safe. The ozone will rapidly dissolve in the water, turning into harmless oxygen. It has no taste or odour and therefore it is the perfect environmental sanitizer.
The water purification and cleaning that ozone offers is so effective that many first world municipalities are starting to use it to clean all their city’s water supplies. Gym and training swimming pools are following the municipalities’ examples to ensure their water users get the best quality water available. The reason for this is that no chemicals need to be added to purify the water supply, reducing the need for harmful products like chlorine in the water.
So the next time you use your water cooler, stop and ask when last it was cleaned. Ensure that your office or school use a water supplier like AquAid to ensure that you are always looked after and kept safe. Think before you drink water.
