The wonderful thing about water is – everyone drinks it.
Now it may be that not everyone enjoys water – drinking it, that is – but it’s undeniable fact: from the tiniest organisms to the largest creatures on our planet – drink water we must.
The reasoning here is, if we must drink water, we should, at least, enjoy doing so!
That’s where AquAid comes in.
We’re not only a well-established, highly experienced supplier of a comprehensive range of water dispensers, we are constantly evolving, making sure that we provide our absolute best in both products and service.
Which means we know a thing or two about how to make your water-drinking experience a positive, uplifting one.
Here’s how:
- We offer a free on-site consultation. This helps to make sure that you have the water dispenser with a capacity commensurate to your drinking water requirements.
- Our range of water coolers dispense cool, chilled, cold and hot water, so whatever your preference, there’s always a refreshing option available.
- We offer a variety of models – from space-saving desktop coolers to larger dispensers ideal for high-traffic areas.
- We’re fast and efficient! A bottled water cooler can be installed within 48 hours and mains fed water coolers within 3 to 4 days.
- We think beyond business. This is achieved through our committed, ongoing donations to the charities we have supported for more than 20 years.
It’s a great feeling to know, that while you’re busy replenishing your water bottle or glass at your water dispenser, you’re also helping to fund the installation of sustainable safe water resources for thousands of communities in need.

Utilising the three C’s (more actually) and in the proverbial words of a famous English poet: Let us count the ways in which a water cooler is of benefit.
Can you have too much of a good thing? We believe it’s possible, so in order not to overwhelm you, we’re going to kickstart with five positive C catchphrases.
- Convenience
Having a water cooler in the workplace, whether it’s a small office or a sprawling industrial estate, is undeniably convenient. It ensures that fresh drinking water is always readily available, saving time and effort.
- Cost-effective
Installing a water cooler is a smart financial move. It significantly reduces the need for costly single use bottled water and other less sustainable options. Over time, this adds up to noticeable savings – good news for your budget and the planet.
- Cleanliness
Water coolers promote hygiene by providing a clean and controlled drinking water source.
This is backed by AquAid’s policy where we automatically sanitise our bottled water coolers and service our mains fed water coolers every six months by our WHA (Water Dispenser & Hydration Association) accredited engineers. It’s our way of ensuring that you enjoy not just clean water but peace of mind too.
- Consistency
There’s nothing worse than inconsistency when it comes to the basics, especially drinking water. A water cooler provides a reliable, on-demand source of both chilled and hot water, ensuring your team stays hydrated all day long, without interruption.
- Cooling
Finally, the cooling factor. A water cooler offers a refreshing source of chilled water, ideal during the warmer months, when things heat up at work, or post workout. It’s the little pick-me-up that can make a big difference to your day.
There you have it: the convenient, cost-effective, clean, consistent and cooling water cooler. Efficiently ticking all the right boxes for a healthier, hydrated workplace. Contact AquAid to explore how one could fit into your space.

Installing a water cooler in the office offers far more than just access to hydration – it can significantly enhance both productivity and workplace culture. Whether opting for bottled or mains-fed water coolers, businesses create an environment that encourages employees to pause, refresh and return to their tasks with renewed focus. This subtle improvement in daily routine can contribute to reduced fatigue, improved concentration and an overall uplift in staff morale.
A strategically placed office water cooler also fosters spontaneous collaboration. As colleagues gather around water dispensers, they are more likely to engage in informal conversations that often lead to innovative ideas and creative problem-solving. In this way, water coolers serve not only as hydration stations but also as valuable social touchpoints that reinforce team cohesion across departments.
For organisations seeking to demonstrate a commitment to employee wellbeing, investing in water coolers for the workplace is a visible and appreciated gesture. Mains-fed water coolers, in particular, provide a sustainable alternative by reducing plastic waste and supporting environmentally conscious office practices. With regular use, these systems can also reduce reliance on single-use bottled drinks, aligning the office with broader CSR goals.
Furthermore, the presence of a high-quality office water cooler may contribute to a positive impression among visitors, partners and prospective hires. A clean, well-maintained water dispenser signals that the company values comfort, health and professionalism – qualities that speak volumes in today’s competitive business landscape.
In larger workplaces with multiple offices or work environments, the installation of multiple water coolers ensures equal access to hydration, supporting the health and productivity of all staff regardless of location. Bottled water coolers are particularly flexible for sites where plumbing is restricted, ensuring no corner of the workplace is left without essential amenities.
Ultimately, the decision to incorporate water in the office goes beyond practical necessity. It is an investment in the people who power the organisation, creating a more dynamic, efficient and attractive workplace. When staff feel that their well-being is prioritised – even in seemingly small ways like access to fresh, cool water – the result is often greater loyalty, reduced absenteeism and improved overall performance.

Finally! Spring has sprung! After what can sometimes feel like an eternity of grey skies and chilly mornings, there’s a real sense of things coming back to life. And just as the natural world is renewing and re-energising, it’s a cracking time for us to think about doing the same for ourselves.
One of the simplest, yet most effective ways to give yourself a boost, no matter what you’re up to, is to make sure you’re drinking enough water. Whether you’re on your way to work, hitting the gym, sitting at your desk, putting your feet up at home, or out and about socialising – honestly, for pretty much anything you’re doing – staying properly hydrated can only do you good.
Now, if we turn our thoughts to the workplace, a lot of organisations are probably thinking about how to refresh things after the winter months. So, the question is, how can you help your company feel ready for this season of renewal? Here at AquAid, we genuinely believe we have the perfect solution to make it easy for your workforce to keep those hydration levels topped up throughout the working day. Whether your team prefers a nice cool drink, something chilled on a warmer day, or even instant hot water for a cuppa, and no matter the size of your organisation, AquAid has an office water cooler that will fit the bill perfectly.
We offer a fantastic range of water dispensers, catering to all sorts of needs. For schools, where keeping both children and staff hydrated is key, we have a high-volume water cooler that can handle the demand. And for all sorts of other environments, from bustling building sites and busy events to warehouses, workspaces, and offices right across the nation, we’ve got a selection of mains-fed or bottle-fed water coolers able to dispense low, medium, and high volumes of refreshing drinking water.
But there’s more to it than just keeping everyone refreshed. We’re also incredibly proud of the charity aspect of our business. With every mains-fed water dispenser installation and every purchase of our bottled water, there are automatic donations made to the truly fantastic charities we support.
These organisations are doing incredible work implementing safe water resources, predominantly in Africa, for millions of people who desperately need it. These sustainable water projects are a huge part of what we do, and it’s something we know our customers really value. So, when you choose AquAid, you’re not just looking after your own hydration needs; you’re also helping to make a real difference to the lives of others.

#GenerationRestoration is the theme for this year’s World Environment Day. The focus is on land restoration, desertification and drought resilience.
According to the United Nations ‘desertification is one of the biggest environmental threats of our time. It refers to land drying up due to reduced rainfall, the expansion of agriculture, including deforestation and poor irrigation practices. Climate change is exacerbating desertification: right now, around 2 billion people live on drylands vulnerable to desertification, which could displace an estimated 50 million people by 2030. If people cannot grow food, they will need to move to an area where they can, increasing the risk of desertification, and having negative effects on landscapes, wildlife and human health.’
The positive news is that there are numerous programmes in place, all of which contribute towards helping grow forests, revive water sources and bring back soils.
As a company, AquAid have long understood how vital it is to address such environmental issues and at the core of this philosophy and ethic is our ongoing commitment to support charities that strive to address the very challenging issues of drought, deforestation and poor irrigation.
We achieve this, in large part, by donating a portion of our revenues generated from each installation of our Mainsfed Water Coolers and each purchase of Bottled Water. These donated funds are used by charities such as Christian Aid and The Africa Trust who implement vital sustainable water resources and farming practices that help regenerate fertile soil, capable of growing food crops, grazing for livestock and water for potable and productive use for thousands of communities in developing countries.
If you too would like to be part of #GenerationRestoration, be kind to your planet and help contribute towards a better environment, simply by drinking water, then chat to us at AquAid.

Quite some time ago we recounted stories of some of the oddest recorded road spills around the globe. Read about them here.
Time for an update we thought. So off we flew to the ether gathering information. Turns out, the best spill stories happen to come from an unexpected source!
20 tonnes of yeast extract
*A lot of yeast extract ended up across the M1 in South Yorkshire in 2011.
Specialist clean-up teams were needed to help clear the sticky black stuff off the motorway. It took 12 hours to clean up and fix the damage.
Thousands of lager cans
When a lorry shed its load of lager cans following an incident in Coventry in 2011, highways teams had to pick up every beverage by hand before reopening the motorway.
Powdered cement
Cement poses problems after a motorway spill. Specialist teams were called out to help clear the road before the cement could get wet and start to set. It eventually took 18 hours to clear the road.
I suppose, in this sea of rather sticky accounts of spills and mishaps, it’s nice to know that should your water cooler malfunction to such a degree, the worst thing spilling will be water – really not hard to clean up and no sticky, messy residue.
Even better and more reassuring though is that as per WHA guidelines, AquAid’s WHA accredited service technicians sanitise all bottle-fed water coolers every 3 months and all mains-fed water dispensers every 6 months, thus ensuring these high-quality water dispensers continue with their seamless delivery of refreshing drinking water.
