Across cities such as Liverpool and Manchester, organisations are under increasing pressure to reduce waste, cut costs, and improve operational efficiency. Bottled water coolers once the standard in offices are now being phased out due to rising expenses, storage challenges, and their environmental impact.

In contrast, plumbed-in (mains-fed) water systems are rapidly becoming the preferred choice for modern workplaces. These systems provide a continuous supply of chilled, filtered drinking water directly from the mains, eliminating the need for plastic bottles, deliveries, and manual handling.

For businesses, the switch offers immediate and long-term advantages:

• Significantly reduced plastic waste, supporting sustainability targets
• Lower ongoing costs, with no repeat bottle orders or delivery fees
• No storage requirements, freeing up valuable office space
• Greater convenience, with instant access to fresh water for staff

Beyond sustainability, companies are also recognising the operational benefits. Removing the need to manage bottled stock or coordinate deliveries allows teams to focus on core business activities, while employees benefit from consistent access to high-quality drinking water.

“Businesses across the North West are moving away from bottled systems because they’re simply no longer efficient,” said a Annouska Lee, Sales Executive at Drop Watercoolers. “Mains-fed water coolers offer a smarter, cleaner, and more cost-effective solution that supports both sustainability goals and day-to-day operations.”

Their modern units are designed to fit effortlessly into offices of all sizes, combining functionality with sleek, space-saving design.
