In this guide, we delve into everything you need to know about office water coolers to enhance your office facilities. Read on to find out the benefits of leasing an office water dispenser opting for a water cooler rental and recommendations for choosing the best hot and cold water dispensers for your office space.

The benefits of having a water cooler for the office

In a 2013 study, research by Office H2O revealed that drinking water more regularly can boost your productivity levels by around 14%. So it’s no wonder why it’s recommended to drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water per day.

Prevents dehydration

With our bodies needing at least 1.2 litres of water daily, having easy access to water will help your team consume more water whilst in the workplace. So, having a mains-fed water cooler for your office will encourage and promote your team to drink more.

Enhances your productivity and mood

Studies have shown that a decrease of just 2% in bodily fluids can significantly influence your alertness and concentration in the office. Plus, with our brain comprising of approximately 70% of water, there is no wonder why such a small change in habits can impact our productivity so much.

Boost your immune system and promote a healthy diet

Drinking water regularly can maintain your immune system functioning right and promotes a healthier lifestyle. By consistently hydrating throughout the workday, you contribute to improved digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall well-being.

Become more environmentally friendly

Opting for a mains-fed water cooler in the office not only ensures a constant and convenient water supply but also champions sustainability. By promoting reusable water bottles, you actively reduce single-use plastic in the workplace. We strongly recommend choosing a mains-fed water cooler over bottled water cooler options to minimise waste and contribute to a greener, more eco-conscious workplace.

Choosing the Right Office Water Cooler

Now that we’ve explored the benefits, let’s delve into selecting the right water cooler for your office needs. The market offers a variety of options to cater to different preferences and spaces.

Hot and cold water dispenser for office

Water dispensers can have various features to dispense different types of water, such as hot water for drinks such as tea, cold water, ambient, or even sparkling water for drinking.

We recommend the Borg & Overstrom E4 Water Cooler to have a wide range of options available to your team. This machine comes in both a freestanding or countertop option, making it the ideal solution for any office workspace or breakroom offering chilled, sparkling and hot water.

Countertop water dispenser for office

If you prefer placing your water dispenser on the kitchen counter in your breakroom, we recommend the Borg & Overstrom E6 Water Dispenser. This versatile machine offers the flexibility to choose between freestanding and countertop options, catering to your specific needs. With the ability to dispense chilled, sparkling, and hot water, it functions as a convenient 3-in-1 solution, providing a range of beverage options for your team.

Compact water cooler taps

If your office lacks space, we recommend considering a filtered tap that caters to still, sparking and ambient water options. The Borg & Overstrom T2 Water Tap is the perfect solution to minimise the number of appliances in your office as its features allow for multiple drink options as well as being compact and sleek in design.

By incorporating these recommendations, your office can elevate its hydration experience, promoting a healthier, more productive, and eco-friendly workplace.
