The British weather has many talents. Being predictable isn’t one of them.
One minute it’s sunny enough for sunglasses and the next you’re wondering where you left your jumper. As we head towards autumn the days may still be pleasantly mild but it’s also the time of year when thoughts turn from keeping everyone supplied with chilled drinking water to considering what happens when demand for hot water starts picking up again.
And there’s another seasonal change worth thinking about: schools are back.
From Chilled to Steaming Hot
A water dispenser doesn’t necessarily have to be about keeping things cold. As the seasons change so can the way people use their drinking water facilities.
A hot water boiler can be particularly useful as demand for hot drinks picks up. Rather than waiting for hot water to be heated when it’s needed, a mains-fed boiler provides hot water ready when required.
For larger workplaces or busy environments that can make a noticeable difference to the morning tea and coffee queue. And let’s be honest, when autumn arrives the queue can become surprisingly long.
Meanwhile, Back at School …
As schools return, classrooms, staff rooms, sports halls and canteens are busy again.
For schools the requirement is slightly different. It’s not just about having drinking water available. It’s about making it easy for pupils and staff to refill bottles and reach for water throughout a busy school day.
AquAid’s school hydration solutions include a range of drinking fountains and bottle-filling options designed with the school environment in mind. They can be installed indoors or outdoors depending on the requirements of the site with features designed to make everyday use straightforward.
So, while the weather forecast may be making its usual attempt to keep everyone guessing there’s a little more certainty when it comes to planning your water provision.
Now is a good time to look at what people need today and what they’re likely to need as the seasons change.
Because whether it’s a school welcoming back pupils or a workplace heading towards the cooler months a well-chosen water solution should be ready for whatever the weather decides to throw at us.
