Many people may not have noticed that the traditional office water-cooler with a 5-gallon (19-litre) bottle on top, is changing towards a machine that filters and purifies mains-tap water. The hassle of replacing the cumbersome bottle on top is problematic enough, but the environmental impact of bottling and delivering water has caused many organisations worldwide to move to a bottle-free system such as that from Waterlogic. In almost all cases, this led to a cost saving for that organisation.
Aside from the environmental and economic benefits, the water itself is better, according to the report "2011 Bottled Water Scorecard" from US non-profit organization, Environmental Working Group, whose mission is to protect consumers and influence government policy. They rated filtered tap water above all bottled water options available.
We all know that we need to eat food to live, yet we consume more water than any other nutrient and many remain unaware of its importance to our well-being. For example:
- When people are dehydrated they suffer reduced physical and mental performance. So when you get that "˜post lunch lull´, try a glass of water and see how you feel more alert for the rest of the afternoon.
- Drinking filtered and purified water removes toxins and waste products from the body which can help maintain healthy skin and nails.
- Hydration can boost body metabolism and can help to improve digestion. Waterlogic machines have the option to dispense sparkling water, which many people prefer to drink with meals.
- Drinking water can suppress appetite, and as its calorie free it can help you stay in shape.
Jeremy Ben-David, Waterlogic Chief Executive Officer comments: "We see that purified tap water is becoming the "˜drink of choice´ for many institutions. For example, schools choose water in an attempt to combat the consumption of sugary soft drinks, and keep students more alert in the afternoon. Many commercial organisations have chosen Waterlogic machines as a conscious decision over staff well-being. Hospitals choose Waterlogic machines for their purity."
