4 Benefits Enjoyed with a Hot and Cold Water Dispenser



When you’re looking for a hot and cold water dispenser for sale, it can be easy to justify your investment when you know about the benefits that can be enjoyed. A water dispenser provides a healthy alternative to regular tap water and a more enjoyable drinking experience. When hot and cold options are added, you can also enjoy your favorite beverages. Here are four more benefits that you can enjoy when you choose a hot and cold water dispenser.


1. Enjoy Tastier Recipes:

When we think about filtered spring water, we usually consider the benefits of drinking water. However, cooking oatmeal with water or making a soup or beverage to drink are all improved when spring water is used. The taste of the water will allow the taste of your food or drink to shine through. These recipes can be enjoyed at home or prepared as a snack to eat at your desk at work.

2. Encourage Water Drinking:

We’ve all become aware of the health benefits that can be enjoyed when drinking water regularly. Sometimes, it can be hard for people to drink enough water to keep them adequately hydrated. Studies have shown that well hydrated people have better cognitive functionality and perform better at work. Medical experts recommend that adults drink two litres of water per day, but this can vary dependent upon a few factors, such as age, weight and physical activity levels. A water dispenser is easy and convenient to use at home or at work. The water tastes great and offers a great alternative to less healthy sugary drinks.

3. Saving Fridge Space:

The only real alternative to a dedicated water dispenser are filter pitchers or bottles of spring water that need to be stored in your fridge. This takes up valuable space and the bottles need to be constantly refilled to ensure a cool supply of water is maintained. This can be a real problem in an office environment, where space may be at a premium, and there isn’t enough storage for spare bottles of water.

4. Saving Time:

Using a water dispenser is simple and quick, you don’t need to wait for the kettle or hunt in a fridge for a bottle of water. This will give people more time for leisure time or allow them to return to work faster. This means that people can stay refreshed and hydrated without wasting time.

If they are looking to buy a hot and cold water dispenser, Perth homeowners and business managers should contact us at Aussie Natural. We supply a wide selection of high quality water related products, including a cold and hot water dispenser for home and commercial use.

How to Choose Water Coolers for Your Office

Many employees love to have water coolers at their place of work for a variety of reasons. Of course, it’s great to have access to delicious, clean water, but many people also enjoy the social aspects of water cooler culture. A water cooler can improve morale and boost the cognitive functionality amongst your workforce. Once the decision has been made to get a water cooler for your office, how do you choose the right one to suit your needs?


Comparing Alternatives:

Some water companies will deliver smaller bottled waters in bulk direct to your home or business. This service is also offered by Aussie Natural, but it may not suit your needs, and you need to be aware of the alternatives. Compare the costs of renting a water cooler and replacing the larger water bottles. It’s generally cheaper to rent a water cooler compared to buying smaller bottles of spring water. This is dependent upon your needs; a very small office may not need as much water, but larger offices would be better served by one or more water coolers.

Space Issues:

Storing water for drinking can take up a lot of room, and you need to consider this in advance. A water cooler takes up less space, but you will need room for the spare bottles of water. If you’re using a lot of water weekly, a rack unit will help to store more bottles in the space footprint. If space is very tight, it may be a good idea to install a bottle less unit directly into your buildings water supply. All of these options will negate the need to store lots of bottles of spring water in your fridge.

Heated and Cooled Water:

When most people think about water coolers, they obviously make the connection that cooled water is provided. However, there are models available that offer the option to provide heated water as well. This isn’t water that boiling hot, but it is hot enough to make a beverage or soup to take back to your desk. This is a fantastic option, and you will need to think about whether you would like this in advance.

If they are considering water coolers, Perth business owners and managers should contact us here at Aussie Natural. We can supply and rent out a wide selection of high quality, water related products and equipment, including office water coolers. All of our products are fully compliant with all current Australian regulations. For those that prefer bottled water, we also supply a high quality locally sourced spring water that tastes great, and we deliver direct to your door for added convenience. Our team is standing by to discuss your needs in greater detail and to answer any remaining questions that you may have.

5 Reasons to Have a Ceramic Water Dispenser in Your Home



We’ve all become more conscious of our need for good quality water at home in recent years. The health benefits of drinking good water throughout the day are now well documented. Plain water from the tap, may be clean to drink, but its harsher taste and temperature may be unpalatable for some people. Many people are now using ceramic water dispensers in their homes for drinking water and here are five reasons why you may want to join them.


1. An Improved Taste:

We’ve already touched on this point; ceramic water dispensers provide filtered water which tastes very good. Sadly, some people think water tastes bland, but it’s unlikely that they have tasted pure water. This is great for drinking straight from the dispenser, but it makes other things taste better too. A beverage made with filtered water will allow the taste of your coffee or tea shine through. Cooking with filtered water is also beneficial and food cooked this way will taste cleaner.

2. The Health Benefits:

Using filtered water in your home for drinking and cooking will reduce the levels of chlorine and contaminants that are ingested. However, some water treatments remove contaminants and at the same time remove the minerals that offer health benefits. The filtered water found in our ceramic water dispensers has those healthy minerals present and offer cleaner water for drinking and cooking.

3. Encourage Water Drinking:

When your water tastes better, you’re more likely to drink more and use it in your cooking. This will ensure that healthy levels of water are consumed that are within recommended ranges. Medical professionals recommend that an adult should drink at least eight glasses of water per day, but this can vary depending upon a number of factors, such as weight, age, and physical activity levels.

4. Help with Dieting:

Drinking cold fresh filtered water is great for those of us that need to shed a little weight. Studies have shown that drinking cold water is great for boosting your metabolism. Also, dieters that are looking to cut down the sugar in their diet will benefit from a reduction in the amount of sugary drinks. A healthy alternative that may suit some people is a reduced sugar squash or some fruit juice added to filtered water to make a refreshing drink.

5. Saving Money:

If you’re using a ceramic water dispenser and drinking less sugary drinks, you will save money. There will also be no need to buy bottled water for drinking at home, and you could even fill a water bottle to take out with you. As an added bonus, you will free up more space in your fridge as you won’t need to store bottles of water there.

If they are considering a ceramic water dispenser, Perth residents should contact us here at Aussie Natural. We stock spring water and water related products that are fully compliant with Australian regulations, including ceramic bottled water dispensers. Our team members are standing by to answer any remaining questions that you may have.

Should Users of Water Coolers Be Concerned About Water Intoxication?



Even if you only have a passing interest in health and fitness, you are likely to be aware of the importance of proper hydration. However, there have been increasing articles about water intoxication. This could be something that you’ve read and may be putting you off using water coolers. Perth consumers need to know the facts and whether they need to be concerned about water intoxication.


The Water Intoxication Basics:
Water is vital for all life, but it is possible to have too much of a great thing. Although water is important for organ function, drinking too much can cause issues. For example, our kidneys have the responsibility for balancing the electrolytes and fluids in our body. The most relevant electrolyte is sodium, and water intoxication occurs when sodium concentrations in the blood become dangerously low. When this occurs, liquid is moved from the blood into the cells, causing swelling.

The Dangers of Water Intoxication:
Although there are some media outlets, who are fear mongering, water intoxication or to give it the medical term hyponatremia is not actually a common occurrence. Cases of hyponatremia are actually extremely rare. It is far more common to be dehydrated rather than having an issue with overhydration. However, it is important to be aware of the symptoms, so you can be aware of any warning signs.

The Main Symptoms of Water Intoxication:
There are symptoms that you may be starting to suffer from water intoxication. These include:
Bloating and Nausea; This is caused by the stomach being unable to hold the excessive amounts of water
Fatigue and Weakness; You may also experience restlessness particularly if you are an athlete.
Slurred Speech; It could be very easy to mistake water intoxication as someone being drunk.
Disorientation; This occurs in serious cases where the condition has begun to affect the brain.
Seizures; In rare cases that are left unchecked, the brain may start to swell, which can cause seizures, respiratory difficulties, and even fatalities.

Avoiding Water Intoxication:
It is not necessarily the amount of water you drink that could put you at risk of water intoxication, but rather the time frame for consuming large amounts. However, you would need to drink litre after litre of water in a very short time period for this to occur.
Athletes can be vulnerable to intoxication, as they need to be aware of how much water has been consumed and lost during endurance activities. Since sodium is lost by sweating, simply replacing the lost fluid with water may not correct an electrolyte balance. Fortunately, you can make your own electrolyte rich drink using spring water, fruit juice and a little sugar and salt.

If you are interested in a water cooler dispenser Perth consumers should speak to us. We offer a myriad of water coolers, and the Aussie Natural team members are available to answer queries or questions.

Kids Art and Craft Project Ideas for 1.5 litre Water Bottles



When you are buying a 1.5 litre water bottle for sale, the last thing on your mind is likely to be arts and crafts. However, when you are looking to keep your children entertained during the school holidays, this humble plastic bottle could provide you with plenty of inspiration. So, here we will explore some project ideas to make use of your supply of water bottles.


Make a Plastic Bottle Scene:
While most parents won’t let their kids anywhere near a ship in a bottle, this can make a great inspiration for a crafts project. Your 1.5 litre water bottles are the ideal size to create a scene where little hands won’t be at risk of cuts, and you won’t need to worry about breakages. All you need to do is remove the label and cut a rectangle or oval from the side of your bottle. This will form the platform for your scene, so make it as small or large as needed. Glue your scene characters onto some flexible cardboard and then glue the bottle around it.

Make A Flower Vase:
This can be a great activity for mother’s day, as the kids can make flowers using pipe cleaners and decorated egg box sections and present them in a decorated plastic bottle vase. There is no need to worry about spilled water or paying over the odds for flowers that may get crushed during the project. You can simply let the kids go decorating crazy. The only adult input needed is cutting the top from the bottle to make the vase shape and cutting up the cardboard egg boxes. Young children may also need a little help gluing their flowers together and gluing the decorations to their “vase”.

Musical Instruments:
This one is for those brave parents who don’t mind a racket. You can use 1.5 litre water bottles or a mixture of different sized plastic bottles. The kids can decorate their bottles as they please and you can fill them with a variety of dried beans, marbles, dried pasta or any other rattling materials. Each shaker will sound different, so your kids can create their own unique musical instrument. Just be sure to check that they’ve put the lid on securely and tightened it or you could be picking up dried peas or beans from corners of your floor for days.

If you are looking for a great quality 1.5 litre water bottle for sale, Perth consumers should speak to us. All our 1.5 litre water bottles are filled with excellent spring water sourced from the Darling Ranges. We also have a wide selection of spring water options including coolers, larger bottles, and handy travel size bottles. So speak to the Aussie Natural team today.
