Multifunctional
Water coolers don’t just mean cool, clean, fresh drinking water on demand. They can also mean piping hot water for your favourite hot drinks to warm you through the nippy cold months. I’m referring to our range of water boilers .
Even more convenient in the ‘Choices Division’ is the:-
AquAid Water Chiller / Boiler Combination!
Then, just when you thought the convenience and options couldn’t become any more marvellous, we also offer a selection of hot and cold beverages for your work place too:
Café Direct Drinks Range:
- Cadbury’s Drinking Chocolate
- Café Direct Coffee
- Bovril
- A full range of Soups
- Kenco coffee
Cafe Direct, Fair Trade
Wherever possible, we choose to supply Fair Trade products, like Café Direct coffee. Fair Trade guarantees a better deal for Third World producers and allows them to invest money in local healthcare and education.
Hot & Cold Water Dispensers from AquAid can also be installed with cool, refreshing sugar-free natural flavours peach, lemon & lime, apple and pear and for each bottle we sell, we’ll donate 5p to Christian Aid.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, all this choice has made me thirsty, I’m off for a quick cuppa Bovril.

Inception and operations
We’ve been in operation for 13 years. An indication of our commitment to what we do shows in our great staff retention:
- Lindsey Page, our dynamic Office Manager, has been with AquAid for 10 years
- Joe Farnell, Account Manager extraordinaire, with AquAid for 7 years
- Pete Dinger, Clive Homer and Paul Unitt have been with us for 5 years
We have a total staff contingent of 13 people who are dedicated to offering our very extensive customer base, 780 Bottle fed water coolers and 1538 Mains fed water coolers, with unrivaled service and attention.
Monies raised
In 2012 AquAid Birmingham raised £43 000 for our hand-picked charities that provide, amongst other sustainable projects, clean drinking water to communities in Third World countries. That translates to enough funds for 4 300 children to have drinking water for life.
EDWCA Audit
The EDWCA, European Drinking Water Cooler Association (previously known as the European Point-Of Use Drinking Water Association EPDWA), is an association that was formed to “promote, develop and maintain the highest standards of hygiene, safety and ethics within the European Point-Of-Use Drinking Water industry to the benefit of customers.”
We are delighted to announce that last year we scored 100% in our EDWCA audits. This means that not only do we adhere to the stringent EDWCA requirements and take pride in our work, but that our valued customers benefit from us meeting and surpassing these standards too.

How many of us take the water coming out of our taps or water coolers for granted? It is always there and if it would one day stop, what would we do? Fortunately we all live in a first world country where water is a resource readily available to everyone, just about anywhere.
But not everyone is that fortunate. Most African countries have a serious water problem in that they either do not have it, or they have it and cannot use it. Fortunately for those people in need, one British water supplier is making a massive difference to their lives. AquAid is one of the leading water cooler supply companies in the UK and they have committed themselves to assist in reducing and eliminating the water crisis in struggling African countries.
They achieve their goals by sharing a large section of their water cooler sales with certain trusts and charitable organisations. For every water cooler they install in your home, office or business area, a portion of the sale is donated to either the African Trust or to Christian Aid.
The biggest cause of death for Africa children is not war or even famine, it is dehydration. The two biggest causes of dehydration in children and adults in Africa is either not having the required amount of water, or the water that they drink is dirty and not suited for consumption. The dirty water leads to diarrhea and that in turn leads to rapid dehydration and in many cases, death.
So far in 2012, AquAid donated £542,000 to The Africa Trust and £70,000 to the Christian Aid groups respectably. The money is used to create safe drinking areas for children and parents and their efforts have saved thousands of lives in the last few years.
Can you honestly state that the water cooler in your office is doing something positive every time someone has a drink of clean, cool and fresh water? If you have a water cooler or water dispensing system from AquAid, then you are not just getting great service and value for money, but you are also doing a small, but significant, part in assisting the less fortunate in surviving each day.

1. It’s for a good cause
Using an AquAid water cooler means that 30p is donated to The Africa Trust with every supplied bottle of water, and 10p is donated to Christian Aid. The African Trust focus on sustainability and job creation, which are key to dealing with poverty in the developing world. AquAid relations with Christian Aid helps fund many water related project in third world countries.
2. It’s safe
Tap water is known to contain chlorine and various other harmful compounds that can affect both the taste of the water and one’s health. AquAid’s water is naturally sourced from pure spring water, which means that it’s free from impurities and chemicals. The water coolers are also quarterly sanitized (according to regulations), which eliminates any potential bacterial growth.
3. It’s Green
Here’s a sobering statistic: 1.8 million single-use plastic water bottles are added to UK landfills each year. However, having a bottled water cooler system doesn’t have to mean you’re damaging the environment. AquAid bottles are cleaned (through a strict process) and re-used. The bottles that don’t make the cleaning grade are then recycled.
4. It saves space
Many people are under the impression that having a bottled water cooler in the office is going to be a clunky affair, but this isn’t the case. Many coolers are designed with space in mind, with some only requiring 1 sq. foot. Empty bottle storage isn’t an issue either, as AquAid collects them upon delivery of new ones (which is once every two weeks). In addition, bottles that are currently in use can be kept in handy space-saving storage racks.
5. It’s a healthy mini-break
Employees need regular breaks in order to keep their productivity levels up – but many turn to either cigarettes or coffee (or both). Having a bottled water cooler in the office provides a much healthier alternative (and an excuse for workers to get up, move around, and hydrate themselves). A cup of water and a quick chat around the cooler will leave employees feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the next task or deadline.

Choosing which water cooler company to go for is no longer about who is the cheapest. The importance of staying hydrated is so well known now, that many companies are placing higher importance on reputation, service and quality. It is extremely important that when deciding who to choose, you do some research and ensure that you will get exactly what you are paying for.
As one of the UK’S top water cooler companies, we at AquAid do not compromise when it comes to service and quality. We believe that making our customers our priority is what keeps them coming back for more. Our delivery network comprises of 27 depots across the country.

We are very proud of our long running association with Christian Aid, donating over 2.5 million pounds since our partnership with them began. For as little as £10, Christian Aid can provide a child with a lifetime’s supply of clean, fresh water.
The Africa Trust was established as a way to bring sustainable solutions to poverty in Africa. This includes establishing sustainable supplies of clean productive water and decent sanitation. Income generating projects are used to pay school fees, improve clinics and generate the funds needed to run orphanages. To date we have donated in excess of 1 million pounds and are encouraged by the success stories coming from individuals that are benefitting from the training that is being provided.
We at AquAid believe that our exceptional product together with our first class service and community responsibility is what has gotten us to where we are today. Paul Searle, Managing Director of AquAid said ‘The sign of a great partnership is where business, charity and community all work together.’
