Why Installing a Drinking Water System in Your Company Will Save You Money and Improve Productivity

Increased concentration and productivity

A drinking water system represents a significant investment in employee health. Water is essential for the proper functioning of the human body, and proper hydration brings numerous benefits. Dehydration, even mild, can significantly reduce concentration and cognitive performance.. Providing continuous access to quality water helps employees stay hydrated and focused on their tasks.

Economic benefits

Installing a drinking water system can lead to significant cost savings for the company:

• Elimination of the costs of procuring plastic water bottles or carboysCompanies that provide water bottles to their employees or use a water cooler with the classic plastic jug can reduce or completely eliminate this cost by installing a drinking water system that filters tap water, providing employees and office visitors with good, pure water with a simple gesture, while also minimizing waste costs.
• Cost savings on transport and storageNot having to buy plastic water cases or bottles anymore eliminates transportation costs and storage space. Whether they are delivered directly by the supplier or picked up by internal company staff, avoiding this unnecessary waste of money and time allows for significant savings for both small businesses and especially large corporations.
• Energy cost reductionModern drinking water systems, such as those installed by Acqua Hora, are often more energy-efficient than traditional bottled water supply systems. Connected directly to pipes, their consumption is negligible.

Environmental sustainability

Another fundamental aspect of installing a drinking water system is its positive environmental impact:

• Plastic Use ReductionUsing a water dispenser drastically reduces single-use plastic consumption. This not only decreases the amount of plastic waste produced but also lowers the carbon footprint associated with the production and transport of plastic bottles. Furthermore, reducing the consumption of bottled water contributes to decreasing potential health risks. In a recent blog post, we reported on the discovery of microplastics in artery plaques that cause a higher risk of heart attack and stroke.
• Promoting corporate sustainabilityMore and more consumers and business partners are evaluating companies based on their sustainable practices. Installing a drinking water system is a concrete step that demonstrates a company's commitment to environmental sustainability.
