Choosing a Water Company? Perth Consumers Should Know the Water Source

Many people give very little thought to where the water they are drinking comes from. With the media attention shining a spotlight on environmental issues, it has highlighted that not all water sources provide the clean, tasty water we would expect. Even if the water tastes okay, it may not be the best quality. So, if you are in the process of choosing a water company, here we will explore why the water source matters.

Rain Water:

Some bottled water is no more than collected rainfall. They may claim that since the rain is collected from a remote area, it is unaffected by any pollution. Unfortunately, this “young” water can also have a very low mineral content, which can leave it with a flat taste. Additionally, since the water has not been naturally filtered by a spring through rocks, it will not have the quality of spring water. Company profiles should list where the water was sourced but look carefully at the wording to see if “natural” really means collected rain water.

Tap Water:

Although the standard of tap water in Australia is generally quite high, you really need to know if your bottled water is simply tap water. Although bottled tap water can taste nice, you are essentially paying a premium for something that you could source yourself. Why go to the trouble of buying bottles of water, when you can simply turn on the tap inside your own home?

Spring Water:

In the past, there have been many examples of a spring water company heavily promoting their water brand where the water was not actually sourced from a spring. However, these days there are stronger regulations in place, and spring water suppliers take great pride in prominently displaying where their water is sourced.

 This can give consumers great confidence in the product. Spring water is naturally filtered by the rocks as the water travels through to the spring. This means that while it has a clean, delicious taste, it still retains vital nutrients. So, your spring water should never taste flat and dull; it should have a great flavour and encourage you to drink more.

Bottled water can be a complicated topic. With so many brands to choose from, finding a water company may seem like a real challenge. However, reputable brands are confident in their water source and will prominently display it on all their product materials. This provides you with the details you need to make an informed choice.

If you are looking for a water company, Perth consumers should speak to us. Aussie Natural is a Perth based spring water company, with water sourced from the Darling Ranges. We are spring water suppliers Perth consumers can have faith in. 

The Unexpected Benefits of Water Cooler Accessories

Accessories for water coolers are often overlooked, but they can provide a vital improvement in your health. These types of accessories can encourage us to drink more delicious spring water, which can provide a number of health benefits.

Colourful Water Cooler Accessories:

When faced with the marketing campaigns of soft drinks, it can be very difficult to dissuade children to opt for a healthier choice. Most parents are aware of the high sugar content in soft drinks and the long term impact it can have on health. Numerous studies have linked sugary soft drinks with diabetes, obesity and even dental issues.

 Even sugar free soft drinks don’t seem to provide the answer, as they contain artificial ingredients that can be even more problematic to health. Fortunately, the answer is right in front of you with your water cooler. You can use colourful water cooler accessories to make water more fun for your children.

Once they have been weaned off the sugar high from soda, they are more likely to go back to the cooler, when they can choose a colourful cup, or they have their own special glass.

Great Water With You:

It is all very well having a water cooler at home, but what happens when you are on the go? If you lead a busy lifestyle, you may find yourself opting for coffee or buying bottles of water while you are out. This is not only bad for the planet, as you contribute to increased plastic waste, but you are also not likely to drink sufficient water.

However, with a choice of water accessories, you can choose a funky water bottle that you can take with you wherever you go. Simply fill it up from your cooler before you leave home, and you will have a ready supply of great water with you.

Flexible Placement:

In order to obtain the maximum health benefits from your bottled water, you need to ensure that you keep in mind that you need to keep refilling your glass. Unfortunately, if your cooler is tucked away in the back of your kitchen, it may be a case of out of sight, out of mind.

However, some of the most popular water cooler accessories are different stands and racks. This will allow you to have flexible placement of your water bottles, so it is always within easy reach.

Considerations When Choosing Office Water Coolers

A water cooler can be a tremendous asset for any office or business, but not all water coolers are alike. There are three main considerations you need to assess before you sign a leasing agreement.

                                

The Capacity:

Choosing office water coolers that have too large or too small a capacity can be problematic for your business. There are many sizes of water coolers for office use, so you need to determine what capacity is best suited to your needs. In order to assess this, you need to think about how many people will be using the cooler.

Generally, a twenty litre cooler will provide roughly a hundred cups of water. Obviously, you won’t want this water sitting around for weeks on end. So if you only have one or two employees, this is likely to be a little too large. Remember that you can usually tailor your water delivery according to your needs, so if the capacity of your cooler is a little small, it can be compensated for with more frequent water deliveries.

Unit Size:

Another important consideration is the physical space that office water coolers require. Not all work premises have the wide spaces of an open plan office. Your premises may struggle for floor space, which means that a benchtop unit would be better suited to your needs. It is worth assessing the sizes and styles of unit available to check which one is the right size for your business.

There are slimline units, tabletop models, and conventional free standing coolers. Bear in mind that your cooler may need to move at a later date. One of the benefits of a bottled cooler rather than a plumbed in model is that they can be moved. So, consider the space in other areas of your business premises where the cooler may be needed.

Design Features:

Bottled water coolers for office use have come a long way in recent years. There are now far more choices than a standard top loading coolers. You will find some interesting design features to make the cooler more practical. For example, there are now models that have spill protection.

This eliminates the risk of water being spilled as you replace the bottle. You could also consider a cooler that also dispenses hot or warm water. This means that your team can not only enjoy a delicious cold drink but could prepare tea, coffee, instant noodles or even soup directly from the water cooler. This can be particularly beneficial in premises where kitchen facilities are limited.

If you are thinking about office water coolers for your business, you should speak to us. Aussie Natural specialises in water coolers for office and home use. We have a myriad of options to suit all circumstances and can supply delicious spring water sourced from the Darling Ranges. 

Cocktail Ideas for Your 15l Water Cooler Bottles

Okay, so spring water tastes great, but occasionally you may fancy a treat or a change. Fortunately, there are some fantastic cocktail ideas that can keep you hydrated and your taste buds intrigued.

Berry Blast:

This fruity cocktail not only tastes fantastic but provides a burst of antioxidants that can give your body a real boost. All you need is the juice of one lime, fresh mint leaves, a handful of your favourite berries and two tablespoons of honey, agave or another liquid sweetener. It is a good idea to go organic with your ingredients to ensure maximum health benefits.

Puree the ingredients together until they are well blended. Fill a tall glass with ice and spoon some of the berry mixture over. Now break open your 15l spring water bottle and top up the glass. Garnish with a little sprig of mint.

Sin Free Pina Colada:

If you are avoiding alcohol, there is no need to miss out on this fruity cocktail. You can recreate the fantastic flavour using two frozen ripe bananas, a cup of fresh pineapple, ½ can of coconut milk and ½ cup of pineapple juice.

Put all the ingredients in your blender and mix until it is creamy and smooth. As the blender is running slowly add between ½ and a full cup of spring water. This will be a matter of personal preference, as some people prefer a thicker cocktail. Pour into four glasses and garnish with fresh pineapple wedges.

Strawberry Watermelon Cooler:

One of the best ways to liven up 15l water cooler bottles is to create a fruity cooler. This one is really easy to prepare and can be easily made in larger quantities for parties. All you need four cups of watermelon cubes and a cup of hulled strawberries with the juice of ½ lime. The secret ingredient to this cooler is two teaspoons of chia seeds.

Blend your strawberries and watermelon with the lime until the mixture is smooth. Strain your mixture through a sieve to remove solids from your juice. Add the chia seeds to your juice and allow it to stand in the refrigerator for at least fifteen minutes. This will allow the chia seeds to swell up. Give the mixture a stir and pour into glasses with a crushed mint leaf and ice and top up with your spring water. If you are making this for an event or party, simply pour in into a punch bowl and float fresh mint leaves on top.
