Helping you maintain safe hydration
Water dispensers have integrated into all aspects of our working and home life from offices to workshops and construction sites to schools and hospitals.
Today employers do not only provide water dispensers as a means of fulfilling their legal duty to provide drinking water in the workplace, but they recognise the benefits derived from good hydration in the productivity and wellbeing of their staff.

Water Matters Fact Sheets
The British Nutrition Foundation recommends drinking at least 6 – 8 glasses of fluid every day – more if involved in physical work, or are ill.
Nutritionalists and dieticians advise that high quality water, free from flavourings and additives is far more beneficial than tea, coffee, fruit squashes or fizzy drinks. The WHA have identified a number of areas where hydration is key.
