Plumbed in water cooler Ice Lollies

author — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 14:31:29 +0000

In the (occasionally) blistering heat of the British summer, there is nothing quite as satisfying as settling down with a jolly nice ice lolly, particularly if you’ve made the effort to create them yourself, with fresh fruit, and a little water from your plumbed in water cooler. All you really need is the aforementioned ingredients, the fruit part being completely to your own taste, and the plumbed in water cooler part being completely convenient and easy, having had your machine quickly and efficiently installed by The Water cooler Company, and some ice lolly moulds, available from most supermarkets.

Some of the fruity combinations that we’ve enjoyed whilst experimenting with our favourite flavours have been the classic apple and orange juice (both freshly squeezed for extra flavour), and even squished up ripe mango along with passion fruit pulp and seeds. These two have been mega-hits in the office and with our friends and family, and we’re happy to share our discovery with you, dear reader, so that many of your own acquaintances can be impressed with your creations.

If you’d like any more information about getting your own plumbed in water cooler, or indeed if you’d like to post us some ice lollies that you’ve made, please do get in touch and one of our team will be on hand to answer any questions you may have/pass on our address.

Summer Cold Blues and your Plumbed in Water Cooler

author — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 12:34:15 +0000

Whatever your plans for the summer months, there is nothing that thwarts them quite like a stinking summer cold. A runny nose, puffy eyes and a lack of sense of smell/taste really does put a dampener on things. If you find yourself tucked up in bed feeling sorry for yourself, take comfort in the fact that your plumbed in water cooler can provide everything you need to help you along with the road to recovery- hot water for your favourite cuppa, or to dissolve your four-hourly dose of Lemsip (which is your favourite flavour?), and nice cold water for when you’re feeling a little hot under the collar/need your temperature bringing down a bit. To improve matters even further, we would recommend enlisting someone sympathetic to run up and down the stairs for you, to fetch anything you need and to help you get better as quickly as possible. Or, if you haven’t already invested in a plumbed in water cooler, they can at least open the door to our engineer, and remain enthralled as they watch in wonder at the short time it takes to get your machine up and running.

For more information on our products or service, or would like to share some of your fave cold remedies with us, please give us a call, or leave a comment at the bottom of our blog.

Scouts keep their Cool in America

author — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 11:40:52 +0000

The National Scout Jamboree is something pretty special for all those dib dib dibbers and dob dob dobbers across the United States, as thousands gather on an army base, to celebrate the history of the association, and the ways in which it’s helped so many young people pick up life skills and have a great time, throughout the years it’s been running. This time around, measures have been taken to ensure that those who are taking part do not suffer from heatstroke, as so many did at the 2005. To help the youngsters along, each tent has a colour-coded chart, indicating how much water must be drunk in accordance with the temperature, as well as several refreshment stations being set up around the site, to provide much-needed liquids. Not only this, but scouting leaders are continually checking that supplies on offer are being taken advantage of; with all the activities and excitement, it is all too easy for participants to lose track of when they need to be drinking, and how often.

If, like the Scouts across America, you want to keep yourself and your family wonderfully hydrated and healthy in the heat this summer, why not have a think about investing in a plumbed in water cooler. Just give us a call or drop us an email, and one of our team will be on hand to help.

Plumbed in Water Cooler is Malaria Safe house

author — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 15:20:10 +0000

Here at The Water Cooler Company, we pride ourselves on many things, including our customer service, and the ways in which we keep up to date with each and every plumbed in water cooler we supply to businesses and homes in and around London. Ordering new accessories, such as cups and cup dispensers, can be done quickly and easily, and when a filter change is necessary, we’ll automatically arrange for this to be done.

Unfortunately, not everyone around the world is keeping up the standards that we set for ourselves. In Ludhiana, India, as cases of malaria in the city are gradually increasing, health officials are warning that hygiene levels must be maintained, in order to help prevent healthy members of the public becoming victims. Along with warnings and campaigns to increase awareness of the problem, spokesmen from the Department of Health are visiting public sector buildings, including hospitals, to check for larvae in any plumbed in water cooler, or those with bottles attached, to see if there is any link to the rapid spreading of the disease.

If you’d like any more information about how we keep our coolers clean and safe to drink from, or have experienced the problem in Ludhiana first hand, please do get in touch or leave a comment at the bottom of our blog; we always love to hear what our readers have to say.

Plumbed in water coolers Subject to Cuts in Hospitals

author — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 10:16:04 +0000

We’re all more than aware of the cuts that have been made in recent months, across the public sector, to help rectify the effects of the recession on the UK, and worldwide. For many, this has unfortunately meant being made redundant, and for others, changes have been made to their office environment, such as cutting costs with a plumbed in water cooler instead of a bottled machine, sometimes even getting rid of this necessity all together.

A recent report in the Irish Independent told of the water cooler units now being removed from hospital waiting rooms, with the Mid-Western Regional Hospital, Letterkenny General Hospital and Sligo General Hospital being the first, in possibly a large number of healthcare facilities, to suffer the cut-backs. Others are sticking with their plumbed in water cooler, as staff and patients alike need to be refreshed at regular intervals throughout their working and waiting lives.

If you have been directly affected by these cut-backs, in Ireland’s hospitals or elsewhere, please do let us know what your experience has been by sending us an email, or leaving a comment at the bottom of our blog. Or, if you’d like more information on getting a plumbed in water cooler for your home or office, we’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

We know that even with our beautiful website, and our weekly blog all about the wonderful plumbed in water cooler, some of our dedicated readers and fans still want to know more about the daily goings on in and around the office of The Water Cooler Company. To those special people, we can gladly say “the wait is over”. We have installed a webcam which links straight to our office, so you can see Tom popping over to the kettle to make a cuppa, Sean receiving his delivery of filters, and Rob singing along to Britney (or whichever diva is the flavour of the day). We like to think that by doing this, our loyal customers can feel a bit more in touch with us, and put some faces to names- which is what our business ethos is all about, as customer service and general friendliness is our priority.

If you’d like have a peek at what’s going on during the day, we recommend you use your Internet Explorer browser, as this is where you’ll get the clearest, and therefore the most fulfilling, viewing experience. You can connect to the webcam using this link:

Plumbed in Water Cooler stops play for Saints Star

author — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 11:19:03 +0000

We can safely say that any plumbed in water cooler we supply here at The Water Cooler Company are not hazardous. That is, unless one gets outraged and kicks the unit, thus potentially putting one at risk of causing damage to one’s toe or foot area. Sadly, this is exactly what happened to one American football player, who got a little agitated in the locker room at the end of last year’s season. Jeremy Shockey, who plays for the New Orleans Saints got a little frustrated after the team lost yet another game, and thus swung his foot at the plumbed in water cooler situated in the locker room, thus breaking his toe. Apparently this was not even the end of it, as Shockey then engaged himself in arguing with the coach about not being able to play in the next couple of games, owing to his injured digit. Hmmm.

All we can say on this matter is, please, dear reader, if you ever feel like you’re at your wits end, and just want to scream, please do so- instead of taking it out on your water cooler. We recommend soft things for punching, such as mattresses and cushions, or you might find yourself being left out of a game or two…

Aquatina Water Bottle

The innovative Aquatina Drinking Water Bottle – As seen on Dragon’s Den

London, 16 July, 2010: The Water Cooler Company is pleased to announce the launch of the Aquatina – an economically friendly, collapsible drinking bottle. The Water Cooler Company will be stocking the Aquatina and will be distributing the Aquatina to its wholesale customers across the UK and Europe. We are also selling the Aquatina through various online sales channels.
This exciting new product is available for purchase for the general public now through The Water Delivery Company at http://www.thewaterdeliverycompany.com/index.php?id=drinking-water-bottles. The Aquatina has a capacity of 500ml when fully extended and collapses down to 1/3 of its original size and is then easily fitted into a pocket or a handbag.
To transport one litre of bottled water takes about a quarter of a litre of oil and seven litres of water, refilling an Aquatina time and time again is extremely environmentally friendly. The Aquatina has been launched alongside the ‘Find a Fountain’ campaign which will help Londoner’s to refill their drinking bottle at locations across the capital. http://www.findafountain.org/. We are working on extending this information service across the UK.
Interested retailers should first contact Tom Carmichael on 0845 500 1215.

EPDWA becomes the EDWCA

admin — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 11:03:04 +0000

As members of the self-regulating industry body the EPDWA – European Point-of-use Drinking Water Association, has today announced that it is changing it’s name to the EDWCA – European Drinking Water Cooler Association.

This change will make no difference to customers and those who rely on the EPDWA brand for assurances regarding the quality standards of the water cooler company they are dealing with. For many customers the phrase “Point of Use” is also confusing and removing this from the associations name is an important step in aligning the new brand with end-user knowledge.

“Although as an association we have now formally included Bottled and Boxed Water, the EDWCA will of course continue to promote first and foremost the development of the fast growing POU business everywhere.”

The Water Cooler Company look forward to working alongside the new association.
