Latest Water Cooler Chat – There’s no tease in tea!

Latest Water Cooler Chat – There’s no tease in tea!

In the words from 90s popular culture, tea is all that!

And with International Tea Day upon us – one of our very favourite days here at AquAid – we thought it a suitable time to refresh (aha) our memories about what it is that makes tea so great.

A few reasons surface:

  • Tea contains oxidants called polyphenols. It can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases. *
  • It has also been found that people who drink green tea or black tea have lower chances of heart issues.
  • Herbal teas such as chamomile help maintain the health of your digestive system.
  • Tea is extremely beneficial for your teeth because high amounts fluoride, catechins and tannins are present. These help to prevent plague, builds resistance to acid and sugar and strengthens teeth.
  • The amount of caffeine present in tea is less than coffee. It is said that traditional tea contains 50 percent less caffeine than coffee!
  • Herbal teas such as Chamomile and Ginger tea are quite good for the digestive system as they are antispasmodic.

Fancy more than a cuppa a day but don’t have access to a consistent supply of piping hot water? Never fear, AquAid are here! Whether it’s a hot & cold water dispenser, boiling & chilled water taps or a hot water boiler, we have the hot water dispenser solution for you. Contact us today!

Eight Advantages of Installing a Hot Water Boiler

Eight Advantages of Installing a Hot Water Boiler

Hot water boilers are a terrific way to get instant hot water without having to wait for a kettle to boil. They are the perfect option for any busy premises or organisation where people need quick access to hot water for tea, coffee, or indeed, any hot drinks.

Convenience. Hot water is dispensed at the touch of a button or slight handle rotation, making it faster and easier than waiting for a kettle to boil.

Energy efficient. Hot water dispensers are more energy efficient than kettles as they only heat the water needed, rather than heating a whole kettle of water at once.

Safety. Every hot water boiler has a built-in safety mechanism that prevents overheating, making them safer than a boiling kettle.

Space-saving. As a hot water boiler can be installed under a counter or in a cupboard, a substantial amount of surface area or countertop space can be saved.

Versatility: From teas, coffees, hot chocolate through to soups, pasta and ramen, dispensing piping hot water from a hot water boiler broadens your hot water drink options.

Installing a hot water dispenser also provides other, unseen, advantages too:

Increased productivity. Having instant access to hot water can help you to be more productive, as there’s no time wasted waiting for the kettle to boil.

Reduces stress levels. Making a cup of tea or coffee can be a relaxing way to take a break from work or studies. Having instant access to hot water can make this process even more enjoyable, as although you’re taking a break, you’re still not needing to wait for a kettle to boil.

Saves money. Hot water boiler dispensers offer significant savings. More energy-efficient than kettles, they also help reduce water bills.

With a range of stylish finishes to complement any environment, AquAid hot water dispensers provide instant boiling water for staff, customers, and visitors alike.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow (but keep drinking water)

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow (but keep drinking water)

Yes, I am aware that’s a Christmas song. Yes, I’m aware we’re well into the first month of 2025. Thing of it is, it’s a great song and despite the festive season being a fond but distant memory, I’m still singing it inside my head. Also, with the current weather we’re having, it has a few lyrics that are quite applicable:

“Oh, the weather outside is frightful …” “But the fire is so delightful” “Man it doesn’t show signs of stoppin’”

“And I brought me some corn for poppin’”

Popcorn is good; fibre rich and fine to eat. Just try not to go overboard on the salt or butter.

If you’re the adventurous type, braving the snow and building snowmen, more power to you! But remember that even in cold weather, it’s easy to get dehydrated.

A few things that can contribute to dehydration of which you may not be aware are:

Physical activity. Even indoor exercise can make you sweat.

Not wearing a hat. This can lead to heat loss and dehydration.

Reduced water intake. You might naturally drink less water when it’s cold.

No matter how you’re enjoying (or enduring!) the winter weather, staying hydrated is key. To help you keep drinking water, hot or cold, top of mind, there’s a simple solution. Install a water cooler or hot water boiler from AquAid. You’re most welcome.

How Drinking Hot Water contributes to our Health, Hydration & Happiness

How Drinking Hot Water contributes to our Health, Hydration & Happiness

We’re not referring to being in hot water, mind, rather we’re referring to how drinking hot water (and most derivatives thereof) in cold weather boosts our sense of well-being, makes us happy, helps us maintain good hydration habits and as a consequence contributes towards our health too.

Mind how you go. As with anything that you ingest or consume that purports to be healthy, there’s usually a proviso. Of course there is. That’s why we’re not suggesting that you can drink as many of those marshmallow topped, cream laden hot chocolates as you like and still be in the peak of health, but we are stating that by drinking hot water drinks (not just hot water) you will achieve more than just one goal – you’ll warm yourself up, increasing your body temperature; you’ll feel  comforted which increases your sense of well-being and if you’re drinking the right hot drinks, you’ll keep yourself hydrated, which means you’re maintaining your good health.

Don’t be fooled. Unless you were hibernating for the last few decades, you should no doubt be aware (by now) that sugar-free doesn’t equal better health.  In fact, the ‘cheat sweeteners’ can be as bad for your waistline if not worse than could good old granulated sugar. If it tastes oddly synthetic, chances are it usually is.

What’s left, then? Quite a bit actually. Here are a few ideas to keep your precious little self hydrated, your tummy warm; and you fighting fit this winter:

  • Install either a hot and cold water cooler or a hot water boiler at your premises. Visit it, often.
  • Once you’ve installed your hot water maker, speak to those around you – ask them what hot water drinks they enjoy which don’t pack on the pounds.
  • Go exploring. Virtually of course. You’ll find plenty of benefits arising from good hydration habits and a number of tips about hot water drinks at the AquAid Water Coolers blog There’s plenty to choose from, each which will hopefully inspire your hot water drinks journey.

However you choose to warm up when the weather is cooler, we wish you happy hydration health.
