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.
Don’t delay. Water up. Contact AquAid and we’ll guide you as to how easily achievable this is. Cheers!

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.

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!

Why Choose a Water Dispenser?
A water dispenser provides immediate access to clean water, encouraging consistent hydration. Beyond convenience, it offers several benefits tailored to different environments and preferences.
Improved Water Quality and Taste. Water dispensers often come with built-in filtration or use pre-filtered bottles, ensuring a cleaner and better-tasting alternative to tap water. This can be especially beneficial in areas where water quality is inconsistent.
Variety of Options to Suit Every Space
- A bottle-fed water dispenser is ideal for locations without access to plumbing, offering flexibility and easy installation.
- A mains-fed water dispenser connects directly to the water supply, making it a sustainable and cost-effective long-term choice.
- Desktop and countertop water dispensers save space while still delivering the same hydration benefits, making them perfect for smaller offices, kitchens, or personal use.
- A free-standing water dispenser is well-suited for larger offices or communal areas, where higher volumes of drinking water are needed throughout the day.
- A floor-standing water dispenser provides a robust solution for high-traffic environments, offering greater capacity and ease of access for multiple users.
Hot and Cold Water on Demand. Many models dispense both hot and cold water instantly, removing the need for kettles or refrigeration. This versatility supports everything from making tea to cooling down during a busy day at the office or after exercise.
Encourages Healthy Habits. By placing a water dispenser in visible or high-traffic areas, it serves as a reminder to drink water regularly, which is especially important in busy workplaces.
Reduced Environmental Impact. Using a mains-fed system or refillable bottles reduces reliance on single-use plastic bottles, supporting more sustainable practices.
A Convenient & Smart Investment
A water dispenser is more than just a convenience – it’s a smart investment in health, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. With a range of styles including bottle-fed, mains-fed, countertop, and freestanding water dispensers, there’s a solution for every need.
Contact AquAid: we’re here to meet all your water dispenser requirements.
