There are plenty of small things we can do to help with these issues, things such as turning off lights and appliances when not in use, riding your bike instead driving around and buying recycled products.

If you are looking at getting a water cooler for your home, office or school, renting or purchasing a plumbed in water cooler, or mains fed water cooler as it is also known, over a bottled water cooler will cut the need for bottles completely thus reducing the amount of bottles that will need to be recycled.

No weekly or fortnightly delivery of water bottles has a definite and quantifiable effect lessening the amount of carbon dioxide emissions that your office water supply causes. 

The Water Cooler Company is aware of these environmental issues and is now a carbon neutral company. If you have any questions please contact us on 0845 500 4455 or email contact@thewaterdeliverycompany.com

To the right you can see the result of a competition run by London-on-tap where designers were asked to design a “carafe for London” which would then be used to dispense drinking water to customers who have requested tap water. A visual statement of intent from restaurants that they are following the initiative and offering tap water to customers.

The headlines from the London-on-tap quote the normal taglines rolled out re tap water giving space to comment on the environmental cost of Fiji Water, and the savings if everyone drank tap water. To be fair to the campaign there is thought given to the importance of having consumer choice – but we would have liked to have seen the championing of tap water and English bottled water (two options for consumers). We would also have liked to have seen the issue widened to locally sourced produce and especially to English Wines – although bottled water from abroad is the alleged culprit there is no mention of the environmental cost of a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. A fully inclusive approach would have surely made a more logical and balanced argument.

What is interesting is that at no stage has the plumbed water industry sought to work actively with the initiative. Plumbed water coolers, drinking water fountains and undersink chillers potentially play a valuable part in any restauranteurs roll out of the London-on-tap initiative as they allow the caterer to provide tap water that has been filtered to remove any impurities and that is chilled to a level customer have come to expect.

There are products developed by the plumbed water cooler industry specifically for the catering trade – and which provide customers with a bar pump system that is housed on their bar facility and allow for the easy catering of a filter tap water to restaurant customers. The Water Cooler Company have installed these in facilities across London. Interestingly this is one of the points where the restaurant has looked to replace the income stream that they are potentially losing from bottled water sales. Across London customers are now often being aggressively charged for tap water that has been filtered through a bar pump system – just check to see if the bottle of water you are being charged for has the word “pure” on the bottle. This is potentially counter productive for the London-on-tap initiative but restaurants have to find a way to replace the income stream from bottled water they now cannot sell.

When customers choose to purchase plumbed water coolers they often require an installation service and also will need a supplier who can maintain, sanitise and service their water coolers.

The owners of The Water Cooler Company, Robert Laughton and Antony Flower reflected on the development of the business and the timely entrance into the market when talking to a local journalist for a leading South London newspaper. “We came into the plumbed water cooler market at a time when many companies were looking at the costs of bottled water coolers and were keen to make savings. Increasingly we work alongside our sister company which supplies bottled water coolers to provide customers the most suitable solution to hydration at the workplace. It is not simply about cost.” 

Antony Flower further commented about plans for the next three years, “We are increasingly working with the HR departments of companies and showing them the cost savings possible by looking to the health benefits of water coolers for staff. For a large local Wandsworth business we have found that by doubling water coolers available to staff, one effect was that staff sickness has been reduced 50% over a two year period.”

It is commonplace at this time of the year for the media budgets of the large utility companies to be spent attacking bottled water while propounding tap water.  A cursory glance at the front page of a London Utility company website  shows their rolling news banner promoting the Londonontap scheme – and their spokesmen were involved today in a debate on Radio 4 about the pros and cons of bottled water.

In defence of bottled water, the Natural Hydration Council have launched a spring campaign for UK consumers  regarding the importance of hydration - www.yououghttodrinkmorewater.com – to argue against the position put forward in the media campaigns of the large utility companies. Firstly we feel the  use of “ought”  in a website name  is lazy,  ”should”  is a more suitable word. Past this level of criticism we think that the counter arguments are well researched.

One argument put forward by the Natural Hydration Council (NHC) is backed by evidence and deserves further exposure. People often do not drink bottled water in replacement of tap water – but rather as a replacement for soft drinks that are the only alternative choice when in shops and  travelling etc etc. This makes perfect sense and it certainly cannot be argued that soft drinks are more hydrating than bottled water.

However through the aforementioned “ought to” website the arguments for bottled water are massively simplified and culminate in the very old and dated list of 10 reasons to drink more water.  This to us is a bad example of a dumbing-down for consumers that in fact fails to put across the important research they have done

The debate regarding the ethics/carbon costs/costs of bottled water is a media favourite at this time of the year and for us marks the start of Spring. It is also one that we are keen to play a part in – with the proviso that the debate is educated and that cheap soundbites about “Fiji Water” are left out of the debate.  Our plumbed water coolers provide a perfect balance between keeping people in offices and homes hydrated while having little carbon footprint.
