All The Benefits of Using Water Coolers at Home
Water coolers might seem like an unnecessary luxury to have in the home, but clean, fresh drinking water leads to better hydration and better health, too.
If you’re on the fence about whether or not you should invest to get a water cooler installed in your home, then read on to discover all the benefits.
It goes far beyond simply tasting better. There are many reasons to consider installing either a bottled water cooler or a mains water cooler.
What is a water cooler?
A water cooler provides cold, fresh drinking water through a system that is installed in your home. Typically, they’re free-standing objects that need to be installed near a main supply. However, some models can sit on countertops or desks.
- Bottled water coolers: These models come with water bottles that need to be replaced once empty.
- Mains-fed water cooler: These models are fitted to your mains water supply and provide a constant supply of filtered, cooled water that is ready for drinking.
The benefits of water coolers at home
Tastes better
Have you ever filled a glass with tap water and instantly regretted the decision to drink it? Tap water can sometimes leave a mineral, earthy, chemical-like taste in your mouth, and quite frankly, it can be undrinkable in some circumstances. Installing a water cooler at home leaves you with crisp, enjoyable water with every sip.
Instant cold drinking water
Installing a water cooler in your home ensures that you always have access to instant cold drinking water. Simply fill and enjoy. There’s no waiting for a tap to run cold, no need to dig out a plastic bottled water from the fridge that could be filled with micro-plastics. Simply fill your glass with water and drink to your heart’s content.
Better for health
Water plays a vital role in many of the body’s everyday functions. If we don’t consume enough water, we prevent our body from carrying out the work it needs to function. Not drinking enough water often results in feeling sluggish and demotivated.
With instant access to delicious drinking water, you’ll be more encouraged to sip throughout the day and better hydration leads to better health.
Maintaining hydration prevents:
- Headaches
- Constipation
- Dizziness
- Confusion
- Urinary tract infections
- Kidney stones
- Pressure ulcers
Makes it easier to drink more water
Having access to drinking water makes it easier to consume. Knowing that fresh, crisp water can be drunk instantly helps prevent one from reaching for a drink that’s a little unhealthier or even getting a drink at all.
Convenience
Water coolers are incredibly convenient. They offer instant access to cold, delicious drinking water at the touch of a button. You don’t need to consistently buy bottled water from the shops or refill water filter jugs in your fridge. These handy devices provide quick access to water throughout the day and night.
Cost-effective
While the investment might seem a little more expensive at first glance, when you consider the cost implications over time, installing a water cooler is a much more cost-effective solution than buying bottled water from the shops.
Mains-fed water coolers are more expensive, but if you and your family use a substantial amount of water weekly, the expense is more than worth it.
Environmental impact
If you repeatedly buy plastic water bottles to drink fresh water throughout the day, you should stop and consider the impact this is having on the environment.
By reducing the amount of single-use plastic, you’re helping in the fight against plastic pollution. What’s more, you’re also helping to reduce carbon emissions by reducing the need for plastic production, transportation, and disposal of plastic water bottles.
Easy to maintain
Water coolers are easy to use and easy to maintain; they require very little maintenance, and they will rarely stop working. If you do come across a problem with your water cooler, it’s likely an easy fix that you can carry out yourself.
Space-saving
Water coolers now come in many designs, shapes, and sizes. Thankfully, there are small, compact options for your home, which ensure they won’t be an eyesore or take up too much space. Compared to trying to store multiple packs of bottled water, a cooler looks much neater and sleeker.
More fridge space
If you’ve got a busy home, you’ve likely got a fridge that’s filled with food, snacks, and drinks. Storing drinking water bottles takes up a lot of fridge space, so with the installation of a water cooler, you’re freeing up that space for something else. Don’t worry about the game of fridge Tetris you have to play each week after a big shop of trying to get everything to fit inside.
