Easter’s that magical time of year when chocolate eggs multiply faster than you can say “just one more,” family lunches somehow turn into full-on feasts, and you start wondering if hot cross buns count as a balanced diet (they do have fruit in them, after all). But while we’re busy nibbling our way through mini eggs and dodging competitive egg hunts, there’s oft one thing that tends to get overlooked: staying hydrated.
Yep, amongst all the sweet treats and celebratory sips, good old water often ends up playing second fiddle to prosecco and tea. But hear me out – hydration is the ultimate Easter hack. It’s the low-key legend that helps you stay energised, makes sure the excessive chocolate consumption doesn’t hit too hard and keeps your skin glowing enough to rival a foil-wrapped bunny.
Whether you’re corralling children on a sugar high, hosting the family roast, or just enjoying the long weekend lazing in the garden, drinking water throughout the day can make a world of difference. No pressure to glug litres – just a steady top-up here and there to keep things ticking over nicely.
And let’s not forget the seasonal flair. Pop some lemon or mint in your glass, pour it into a fancy water glass, or go full Easter chic with a pastel straw. Hydration, but make it festive.
So in between the Easter egg hunts, the catchups and the inevitable “I probably shouldn’t have had that third helping” moment, give a little love to water. Your body – and your post-roast nap – will thank you.
Here’s to Easter, hydration, and balance (even if it’s one chocolate egg in each hand). Cheers – with a nice, cool glass or bottle of water, of course – from us here at AquAid to you!

Construction companies are part of a specialised industry and as such, so are their requirements. A crucial part of these requirements is that construction sites adhere to regulations that ensure the health and safety of all on site.
One such requirement is that there is adequate hydration available to the entire workforce on site for the duration of the construction.
The HSE (Health and Safety Executive) states, in part:
Drinking water
Drinking water must be provided or made available at readily accessible and suitable places.
This is where AquAid rises to the occasion.
AquAid are the premier choice for the provision of water coolers nationwide across the UK. We are also the preferred supplier to a number of specialised industries, one of these being to the construction industry, as we understand the specific requirements that construction companies, albeit large or small, have.
Incorporated into our water cooler provision to construction companies we offer the following services as a standard:
- Emergency delivery and collection of water coolers.
- Next day call-outs for repairs.
- Educational hydration package for workers, highlighting the importance of remaining hydrated at work to reduce the risk of accidents.
- Supply of both 240V and 110V water coolers.
- Dedicated account managers on both a local and national level.
Contact us to find out more about our unique services we offer to the Construction Industry.

With the all-encompassing advent of our world online, I have been wondering for some time now if puns are the things of beauty they once were. Post millennium there are more social media pun dedicated pages than you could shake a stick.
One cannot help but think that if puns are becoming obsolete (by the mere fact that there are just too many of them being churned out to be of any relevance) are the other witty extensions of language also on the slippery slope to obsolescence?
While you ponder this, we’d like you to consider the raison d’être behind the rather pun filled headline of this blog.
As I’m sure you’ve gathered, what we’re asking (a perennial favourite) is are you adequately (AquAidly) hydrated? If not, why not? Is it because you’re unsure of what qualifies as adequate hydration? Well, there we can help.
Being as we are a water and water cooler provider of some 23 years, it’s our business to know all about proper hydration. We’re constantly checking to ensure that we’re up-to-date about all things drinking water related.
One of the ways that we pass on this information to you, dear online reader, is by providing a quick reference guide at our website. That’s here.
Aside from that, we have over 22 AquAid branches throughout the UK, staffed by highly experienced water knowledgeable teams who are well equipped to provide you with the best water provision solution – tailor-made to suit your hydration requirements.
We can’t, of course, make you hydrate properly as that’s certainly up to you. We’re also not using the terms – lead-horse-water-drink in here, perish the thought – but we are hoping that you recognise for your own health and well-being how important it is to make sure that you are aware that in order to perform at your peak -whether at work, school or play – you need to be adequately (AquAidly) hydrated.
We would love to be able to assist. Contact us today.

Irrespective of the current circumstances that affect us all, we, of course, remain a proponent of how vital it is to maintain proper hydration levels while we self-isolate. That said, now we’re all hydrated and our neurons are firing (as they will do – a hydrated brain is a happy brain) there may be some uncertainty as where to (virtually) go in order to engage our thinking centres.
That’s where we at AquAid come in. We understand that being online may not be a focus of your typical day to day responsibilities, so for your convenience and to save you time, we have conducted our own online research, searching far and wide, in order to present to you a range of online channels that may pique your interest while you learn something new.
One we liked in particular is the FB page for The National Archives – as an example, they’re inviting followers to encrypt and crack a code using Alan Turing’s probability-based method: socsi.in/oJtap
Another is the Mental Floss Twitter account. The content is pretty much in the account name, although they do cover deeper and more thought-provoking content too.
innocent drinks remains a favourite of this blogger – their posts and tweets are a hilarious mixture of humour, useless information (by their own admission) and social distance challenges guaranteed to keep your grey matter engaged.
Last and by no means least, we highly recommend following AquAid’s social and business networks online – where we constantly refresh and update our content.
Of course, there are countless social networking pages and accounts that are slightly more serious and weighty, but for now, we’ll leave those for you to discover.
Before we bow out on this particular subject, a reminder that here at AquAid, we remain available for all your water dispenser requirements and bottled water deliveries.
