Wise up to Water!

Water is such a basic need to sustain life that in developed countries like the UK, turning on a tap whenever we wish is taken for granted. Magazines, newspapers and the television seem to feature a never ending stream of articles and programmes that tell us how to eat a better diet but rarely mention the fact that as approximately two thirds of our body weight is made up from water, perhaps we should be giving the water we drink more consideration! Water is the most natural purifer to detox your body, flushing toxins and impurities away. This not only helps to prevent infections and constipation, it improves your skin, concentration and even your metabolism helping you to lose weight! Yet despite the numerous benefits, according to research a quarter of the UK population still does not drink enough water.

You would expect us to say that the best water you can drink comes out of a Countrywise water cooler!

…and you would be right!

No matter how long you run a tap over the sink, it never comes out really chilled, whereas a cooler will deliver you a refreshing chilled glass of pure water time after time. The water cooler has now become an accepted part of modern day living with the "gurgle" of pure chilled water never seeming to be far away whether you are in the office or gym. A water cooler has proved to be the most convenient way to meet regulatory obligations to supply drinking water to employees and visitors alike. Consumers appreciate the fact that spring waters like the one on a Countrywise cooler cannot be treated with any chemicals, unlike tap water. Many prefer the taste of natural, untreated bottled water, yet have the reassurance that each batch has to pass stringent quality assurance tests.

Water cooler companies and the products they offer have come under some criticism with regard to their carbon footprint but many like Countrywise have taken steps to improve delivery distances and recycling. You can read the facts about these issues and many more here…
