Spring Water for the Office

Give your employees convenient access to quality natural spring water in the office.

Are your staff drinking their eight glasses of water a day, as recommended by health experts? With the hustle and bustle of our everyday work routines, it’s common for employees to forget to hydrate themselves throughout the day.

This leads to a drop in productivity, as well as fatigue, confusion, headaches and lowered cognitive function. Our brains are 73% water, so as soon as you start to feel dehydrated you will begin to lose focus and find it hard to concentrate/stay alert. In fact, being dehydrated by just 2% can see a drop in performance and memory skills.

By equipping your office with a hot or cold water cooler, your staff can help themselves to a chilled glass of water whenever they see fit, as well as hot cups of tea, coffee and even noodles or soup.

Providing your team with fresh spring water should be the bare minimum. After all, staying hydrated is an everyday necessity.

When your employees have easy access to clean, refreshing water, it can encourage regular hydration and help create a more comfortable and welcoming workplace.

Benefits include:

• Supporting employee focus and productivity. Staying hydrated can help employees maintain concentration and mental clarity throughout the day.
• Creating a better working environment. By having a dedicated water cooler or dispenser, it provides your team with a convenient, central location to refill their cups or water bottles throughout the day. 
• Encouraging healthy habits. By making quality drinking water readily available, it encourages your employees to stay hydrated as part of their everyday routine.

The right water dispenser for your office space makes hydration easier throughout the workday. It allows your team quick access to fresh spring water without turning on a tap. Selecting the right fit depends on your level of water usage and the size of your team. Either way, an office water dispenser keeps your colleagues happy and hydrated, from a chilled glass of H2O to a morning cup of tea. A hydrated team is a productive one.

A water dispenser is a water supply unit designed for your office that offers a choice of high-quality spring water: chilled, ambient, or piping hot. It's the water-quality level you expect from a bottle of spring water, but on tap, for your colleagues to enjoy.

Big Springs Water offers two main types of office water dispenser to suit different workspaces. Whether you're looking to save space if your floor plan is tight, or you have the flexibility to add a free-standing water unit, choose the right fit for your space. In addition to cold water, there are options to add a hot water dispenser for the tea lovers.

Benchtop Water Dispenser
These units are ideal for tight kitchens and small offices. A benchtop water dispenser sits on a counter-top or table to maximise your floorspace. Recommended for teams of 15 people and under, these designs accommodate a standard 15L spring water bottle.

Freestanding Water Cooler Dispenser
We all enjoy chatting with colleagues around the water cooler. Also known as a water bubbler, these dispensers are made for high-volume areas with a free-standing design. They can act as a hub of activity for large open-plan workspaces. As long as you have the space and a power outlet, this unit fits any dynamic office environment.

Hot and Cold Water Dispenser
Unlike standard cold water dispensers that prioritise hydration, hot and cold water dispensers provide the best of both worlds. They are well-loved by colleagues who want hot drinks without waiting on the kettle. If reducing energy consumption is your priority, cold-only models are the way to go.

While you look for the perfect fit, there are certain functionalities to keep in mind to meet the daily demands of your office:

1. Bottle Capacity: The size of your team determines your water usage. Our standard bottle size is 15L per bottle.
2. Temperature Settings: Prefer the flexibility of a hot and cold unit, or the energy-saving benefits of a cold-only model? Consider your team's preferences and what works best for your office.
3. Benchtop vs Freestanding: Select the best unit for the space you have, from a benchtop model to a freestanding design.
4. Energy Efficiency: Some models have eco-modes to reduce power use overnight and over weekends.
5. Hygiene Features: Choose a design with removable drip trays so it's easy to keep clean.
6. Hire vs Buy: Depending on your circumstances (such as a temporary office space), it may make more sense to hire a water cooler rather than buy. Renting can also be more budget-friendly.

Your headcount will help you determine the right size of your office water set-up. Here are our recommendations:

• 1 to 15 staff: One benchtop water dispenser; roughly one 15L bottle per week.
• 15 to 50 staff: One freestanding unit; 2 to 4 bottles per week.
• 50+ staff: Multiple units or high-capacity dispensers; setting up a regular spring water delivery is essential.

When browsing water dispenser options, you'll encounter the primary debate: should I choose spring water or filtered water? Both options will hydrate your team, but the difference is in the origins of the water, how it tastes, and its mineral content.

Spring water delivery means 15L returnable bottles right to your door. Without the need for plumbing, they're a practical choice that keeps your water full of its natural minerals while retaining its crisp taste.

Filtered water uses a mains-fed system that removes the need for bottle changes. Set-up is typically more time-consuming and requires a professional to install. Filtration also removes the mineral benefits found in spring water.

For office spaces in regional NSW, Victoria, or the ACT, we recommend a bottle-fed water set-up to get the best-tasting water with the simplest of set-ups.

At Big Springs Water, we pride ourselves on sourcing natural spring water from our very own single-source spring. Family-owned since 1994, we have decades of experience supplying premium spring water to workplaces, with a focus on quality and reliable service.
