More and more, consumers are realizing that bottled water just isn’t what it’s cracked up to be.  For starters, it’s an environmental disaster: according to the Food and Water Watch, bottled water creates close to two million tons of plastic waste per year.  And despite good-hearted recycling efforts, close to 80 percent of bottles are thrown away.

Then there’s the fact that bottled water isn’t any healthier than tap water.  That’s because close to 70 percent of bottled water never crosses state lines, and as a result, isn’t subjected to federal Food and Drug Administration oversight. 

Then there’s the cost consideration.  For consumers, purchasing bottled water has been just that – an unneeded expense.  And the same can be said for offices who insist on offering employees bottled water.  Just do the math: a bottle of water sold in a vending machine, for example, can cost five cents an ounce.  But even then, the employer needs to purchase crates and crates of them, leading to – you guessed it – a recycling nightmare. 

Which bring us to our “bottleless” office water cooler systems – the cost-effective, environmentally-sound, and healthy solution.  Our self-filling bottle produces fresh water than hasn't been sitting in the cooler for weeks (if not months), eliminates bottle usage, and is bacteria and algae-free.
