When the forecast hints at a heatwave, most people think about sunscreen, lighter clothes, or perhaps rearranging plans to avoid the midday sun. But what if you can’t reschedule? What if it’s a school day, or you must be at work in the office, or open the warehouse? Often, the most crucial necessity is overlooked: making sure there’s enough drinking water to go around – and not just assuming someone else will sort it.
Being proactive about water supply isn’t just good common sense; it can make a real difference to comfort, wellbeing and productivity. During hot spells, people naturally drink more – which means water stocks run out faster than usual. If you’re relying on replenishing your water for your bottled water cooler, it’s surprisingly easy to run low right when demand peaks. That can lead to unnecessary stress, discomfort and a scramble to restock when your supplier may already be running short or your scheduled water delivery is weeks away.
Planning ahead helps avoid that. Whether it’s ensuring a delivery of bottled water is booked early, topping up your reusable bottles, or checking that your water dispenser is full and working, small steps make a big difference.
And it’s not just about avoiding thirst. In hotter weather, staying hydrated helps regulate body temperature, maintain energy levels and support concentration – especially in workplaces or shared spaces. If water isn’t easily available, people may end up drinking less than they should, which can lead to light-headedness, fatigue, or even headaches, which are oft symptoms of dehydration.
Whether you’re the smallest two-person operation, a work from homer, a large team, or managing an entire organisation, thinking ahead means making sure everyone has what they need – not just the early birds who get to the water cooler station first. A bit of simple planning also shows care and consideration, whether it’s at home, at an event, or in the office.
So next time the temperature starts to climb, don’t wait for the rush. Make water part of your warm weather prep – and avoid the all-too-common ‘we’ve run out’ moment. A bit of foresight goes a long way when the heat is on.
Of course, if you already have mainsfed water coolers installed, you’re sorted. If you aren’t yet, not to worry, speak to us at AquAid. The great thing is, if a plumbed-in cooler doesn’t match your needs, we offer a wide range of high-quality water dispensers – including chilled, cold only and hot & cold bottle-fed water coolers, water fountains and Instant Taps.

It’s heating up across the UK and while we all love a bit of sunshine, rising temperatures mean it’s more important than ever to stay properly hydrated. Whether you’re working, studying, or getting your steps in at the gym, your body needs extra water to cope with the heat.
When you’re dehydrated, your energy levels drop, your concentration wobbles and even your mood can take a hit. Not ideal when you’re trying to power through a busy day or stay sharp in a lecture or meeting. And no, that third coffee doesn’t count – in fact, it can make dehydration worse.
Why Water Coolers Just Make Sense
Having a water cooler on-site – be it in your office, gym, school, or university – makes drinking more water easier and more appealing. Constantly available chilled, refreshing water is far more tempting than a warm bottle that’s been sat in your bag all day. It’s a small change that can make a big difference to how people feel and perform throughout the day.
Water coolers also encourage a bit of movement. That quick trip for a refill? It’s a mini break that gets you away from your screen and gives your brain a breather – win-win. In places like schools and fitness centres, where staying focused or physically active is key, accessible hydration is even more important.
Cooler Vibes All Round
Let’s face it – having a dedicated spot for fresh, cool water just sends the right message. It shows you care about wellbeing, whether that’s your team’s, your clients’, or your students’. And when things are hotting up it might just be the most popular spot in the building.
So, as the mercury climbs, make sure there’s plenty of water flowing. Your body (and brain) will thank you.

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.

That’s where AquAid comes in.

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.
