Benefits of drinking fountains and water dispensers in offices

Water coolers. News 25/07/2022
Every day more companies choose to have a drinking water dispenser in their office. Having a water service in the workplace can be beneficial for the people who use it. In addition, health and well-being are increasingly on people’s lips, and water plays a fundamental role in this.

Drinking water fountains and water dispensers fulfill a need that many forget, especially during working hours: drinking an average of two liters of water a day. Normally, when you have a service close to hand, in this case, a water dispenser, you make more use of it. That is why, if there were water fountains at the service of employees in all the offices, they could hydrate themselves with the recommended two liters of water per day.

Data from the WHO and the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) establish the need to drink about 2.5 or 3 liters of water per day. And installing this type of fountains and dispensers is essential to achieve this. However, statistics from the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition, extracted from the National Survey of Spanish Dietary Intake (2021) placed men (33%) and women (21%) below the figure recommended by the authorities concerning water consumption.

Moreover, numerous research studies on the benefits of having a drinking water dispenser in offices show there is a positive impact on productivity when employees drink the recommended amount of water, as it improves both their concentration and their motivation at work.

A study carried out by the University of East London asserts that a glass of water allows the brain to forget the feeling of thirst and, therefore, optimize its performance by 14%. Furthermore, these investigations indicate that a water source can prevent or reduce the feeling of fatigue as well as headaches in workers. Therefore, having water fountains in the offices is a benefit for both the employee and the company.

Diversity of solutions

Canaletas has been developing various designs to be able to adapt to any environment. The leading Catalan company in Spain in the manufacture of water fcoolers and water dispensers has been working on solutions from bottled water dispensers to traditional ones connected directly to the water network.

These products, moreover, do not involve a high cost for the company in question. Canaletas calculates that the average life of its water fountains and water dispensers is 30 years, which can be achieved thanks to the use of stainless steel in their construction. In addition, it has anti-vandalism models that ensure a longer duration if the products are in a more exposed area.

Bottled water dispensers only require an electrical connection and are refilled periodically according to consumption. The water coolers and water dispensers connected to the water network only need an electrical outlet and connection. They also allow for the installation of a filter to improve the quality of the water.

This series of models facilitates the work of companies, which, depending on the design of their facilities and their safety, can choose one option or another to facilitate access to free quality water for their workers.
