Why the Emphasis on Water Dispensers in Schools?
Dehydration is serious for all of us, but not more so than to our children. Children, especially those younger than ten, are often unaware of the need to drink water regularly and will only do so when they are already thirsty. By this time, their cognitive function...
Water Cooler Trivia – Version Two Zero Two One
We’ve given quite a bit of attention to British trivia over the years for good reason. Trivia is interesting, fun, it keeps your brain active and just as important, it provides you with a wealth of interesting knowledge you can impart to your colleagues, family and...
Drinking Water and World Book Day
With World Book Day on the horizon, we thought it prudent to look at the connection between good hydration habits and one’s ability to read better. And not only to read better, but how drinking a sufficient volume of water daily not only assists with the brain's...
Countering Cold Weather Dehydration
While the current cold weather seems wont to extend its icy hold over the UK our instinct may be to hydrate less, this is a mistake. When it’s cold, we may tend to think that we dehydrate less easily than we do when it’s warm, but this is often not the case. *What...
Hot Water Boilers vs. Hot Water Bottles
There are many items used to keep warm externally during when the weather is cold - something we blogged about previously. From furry pets (the best bed warmers), fuzzy socks, heavy coats to hot water bottles, options abound. Of course, with the advent of the...
AquAid’s Touch-Free Water Dispensers
Many moons ago, I blogged about alternate drinking water receptacles in the event that you weren’t able to drink water directly from your water cooler. Essentially, the blog detailed unusual drinking water receptacles. In retrospect, I realise that the title may have...
Water Cooler Wonder – Icicles, Snow and Yorkshire Puds
You may ask what the connection is, rightly so. It stems from family advice passed down through the generations – if you wanted your puds to rise and stay light and crispy during roasting in piping hot oil, ice-cold water was needed for the batter mixture. According...
How AquAid Water Coolers Benefit You
Benefit? Advantage? Are we playing tennis or are we referring to what installing an AquAid Hot Water Boiler, Water Cooler or Instant Taps does for you? Being as we are one of the UK’s leading water cooler suppliers, you can safely assume we are referring to the...
Innovation at the Water Cooler – Bubble Tea / Dalgona Coffee
Having yet to enter the hallowed halls of one of the biggest name coffee shops on the planet, never mind order a mocha decaf almond milk frappé, it’s safe to assume that this blogger does on occasion miss drinks trends. Which is why when scouring social media and...
Winter Water Cooler Health – Cold Weather Hydration Tips
Maintaining good hydration habits may seem less important in winter than in summer, but this is not the case. I would venture that it is actually more important to make sure you’re drinking enough water in winter than in summer. Dehydration is much less noticeable...
Water Cooler Etiquette 2020
Seeing where we are, we thought it might be prudent and practical to update the guidelines around what is considered good etiquette when replenishing your water bottle or water glass at your office water cooler. Queuing instead of gathering. Unlike previously where we...
Witticisms at the Water Cooler III
It has been a while. In a while, crocodile? Longer than that. The length of five crocodiles, from tip to tail perhaps. Think of this instalment as a great refresher in time for the festive season. Where you could become one of those walking, talking cracker inserts,...
Water Cooler Health: The Art of Balance
Irrespective of what stage of life we are at or what aspect of life we’re approaching, we are forever exhorted to maintain balance. Researching ‘maintaining balance’ produces multiple results, the majority which refer to a work-life balance. While not surprising, we...

Water, Wellness and You
Maintaining even a modicum of the usual fitness levels can be difficult during normal circumstances; during periods of social distancing, they may seem well-nigh impossible. We don’t all have a home gyms or exercise equipment in our place of residence. For many of us,...
Water Cooler Wit: Strange Facts We Didn’t Know Before
Cheetahs don’t overheat when running. It was previously believed that cheetahs, who can achieve speeds of up to 60mph, could only maintain such speeds in short bursts because they would overheat. This is apparently not the case, according to a study published in...
Food & Drink at the Water Cooler: The Elderflower
It should come as no surprise that, at AquAid, we often comment on all things hydration and health – mainly where we refer to how drinking water more leads to incredible health benefits. With this though, we understand that we sometimes need to pause our constant...
Hydrate Your Way to Health
The title isn’t just catchy, it’s the literal truth. More than 90% of Britons experience health issues. What’s worth noting is that many of these health issues can be resolved by simply drinking water more as it may well be that dehydration is the cause. If you are...
Hot Water Dispenser, Water Boiler, Instant Taps … Cuppa Tea
It is astonishing to consider that wars have been fought over this hot drink. That shipping vessels were redesigned to ensure faster transportation from country of harvest to the British consumer. If you haven’t guessed it yet, we are referring to tea. Yes, these...
Drinking Water: Hydration Tips for Autumn
Here in the UK, we’re well into autumn, and with winter beckoning from not too afar, it’s not surprising that we automatically adjust our drinking water frequency, usually to much lower levels. While understandable, it’s a little unwise. These organ - water...
Water Cooler Wonder – Remember, remember, the fifth of November
With unprecedented events overtaking the manner in which we observe the UK’s annual traditions, we have had to adapt our methods of gathering and celebration. Take Bonfire Night. As it’s unlikely there will be any fireworks displays or bonfire parties, this year’s Guy...
AquAid’s Hot & Chilled Water Dispensers, Water Boilers and Instant Taps – Giving You More
Recently on social media, we posted about how the demand for drinking water changes depending on the seasons. With this top of mind, we thought to increase awareness about the wide range of water dispensers AquAid supply, thereby meeting all drinking water needs and...
Halloween at the Water Cooler: ‘Guising or no?
Every year, here at AquAid we (virtually) tiptoe as we edge towards mention of Halloween. Still not sure why, that’s just what we do. Considering the events of this year so far, we reckon a timid or gung ho approach surely doesn’t matter – perhaps all we can say is...
Water Cooler or Water Dispenser – is there a difference?
In brief, not really. Allow us to elaborate: AquAid provide a wide range of water dispensers (or water cooler dispensers) to our customers. Installing a water dispenser from AquAid makes good sense as we offer the user a wide range of high quality water coolers...
The Unseen Advantages of the AquAid Hot Water Boiler

AquAid Water Dispensers – Hydration for All Seasons

An Health and Safety Update from AquAid
Under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulation 1992, the employer has a responsibility to provide an adequate supply of drinking water. However, the employer must ensure that the facilities provided are done so safely and are maintained correctly to avoid...
Are all Water Cooler Suppliers the same?
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...
AquAid and Charity: How Donations Fund the Delivery of Clean Water Resources
We recently had a customer ask for more detail around where the funds donated by AquAid to the charities we support, are used. An excellent question - one that prompted this update, which also provides a more in-depth look at how and where the donated funds are...

Water Cooler Health: How Listening is Good for You
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...

International Literacy Day

Water Cooler Health – Spicing up your healthy lifestyle
Recently we looked at food and drink ingredients that make us more dehydrated, and found that salt in particular seemed to be the main culprit. Reducing your salt intake doesn’t mean reducing flavour. Salt has been used to flavour food (originally, it was used to...

Water Cooler Hacks – What Can We Do?
During these rather unprecedented (for many) circumstances, it’s natural that we tend to focus on what we aren’t able to do: can’t this, can’t that and the list goes on. As the saying goes, when all else fails, opt for simple (okay, there’s no such saying, but adapt...
Water Cooler musings: the resurgence of the Jigsaw Puzzle

March is in (a) Hot Water (Boiler)
Now that March has arrived, it would be nice to believe that spring isn’t too far off (and it isn’t that far as the new season arrives officially on the 20th of March). As we Britons are used to radical weather patterns whatever the season, it’s no surprise that the...
AquAid – Encouraging Access to Drinking Water in Schools

Why H2O Hydration Maintenance is vital during Winter
As we pile on the layers, wrap up warmly, turn up the heat and miss the usual thirst signals, it’s understandable that we may believe that we need to drink less water than we would when it’s warmer. The exact opposite is true though. Expelling water vapour means...
You can lead a Horse to Water … but can you lead a Human to the Water Cooler?
As you no doubt already know, the full proverb reads like this: You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. Meaning: People, like horses, will only do what they have a mind to do. It would seem that water replenishment is an integral part of life, even...

How to properly hydrate during hibernation

That Lemon at the Water Cooler
No, we are not referring to a dud car parked at the water cooler; we are referring to the lemon: the wonder fruit. Lemons are mostly attributed as being a good source of vitamin C, (which they are) but that isn't all they contain. According to the USDA National...
H2O at Halloween
Contrary to popular opinion, the origins of observing Halloween aren’t American - but actually those of ancient Celts throughout Britain, Ireland and northern France. With the Romans invading Britain around 43AD, it is believed that they also added their rituals of...
Things we don’t know vs. things we do know (or musings at the water cooler)
A broad, sweeping headline for sure. Could encompass many, many things. Let’s narrow it down a little. Things we don’t know: How long a piece of string is. How it is that the judges of The Great British Bake Off failed to keep Helena on. Why we can’t touch our elbows...
Britons don’t drink enough water
There’s no disputing that we Britons don’t drink enough water. According to various surveys and research, just 1 in 10 of us consumes enough water to qualify for being adequately hydrated. This is a cause for concern, as maintaining even the minimum levels of...

Wit at the Water Cooler

AquAid Water Coolers – more than just a supply of drinking water
