Staying hydrated is crucial for health and mental performance, especially during the hot summer months. Upgrading your office’s water cooler with a machine that offers advanced purification and ice might be just the perk your business needs this summer. At A&B Business Solutions, we understand the importance of the people we serve, so we provide only the best office water and ice machines.
The simple pleasure of a cool drink on a hot day can make the office a much happier place. So what better investment this summer than a new office water and ice machine?
Why Ice Water Matters
Ice isn’t just a treat; it plays a key role in keeping you hydrated. Studies have shown that to be hydrated, adults should drink between 91 ounces (for women) and 125 ounces (for men) of water a day. But according to the CDC, many adults in the US only consume an average of 44 ounces daily—around 60% less than the recommended intake. Food accounts for 20% of the average person’s daily water intake, but the rest needs to be consumed through liquid. Sugary drinks like soda or juice will hydrate, but often have unwanted side effects, like sugar crashes or cavities. Pure water is the healthiest and most effective source of hydration.
Once inside the body, hot and cold water hydrate equally, but water has to enter your system to do you any good. When it’s hot outside, people are less likely to drink water if the water is warm. But ice water helps lower body temperature and makes you feel more refreshed. Having a water cooler for the office can make it more fun to stay hydrated, and drinking enough water will lead to better work performance.
Hydration and Brain Function
Most people are aware that dehydration—even very mild dehydration—affects our physical abilities. That’s why most of us bring a bottle of water when we go on a hike or work out at the gym. But did you know it also has an impact on our brain function? According to Healthline, slight dehydration (even just 1% of your bodyweight—for most people, that’s about two glasses of water) makes it harder to concentrate on tasks and leads to irritability and headaches.
In an office environment where mental clarity and focus are essential, staying hydrated is not optional—it’s vital. A high-quality office water purifier makes it easier and more enjoyable for employees to drink enough water, improving both mood and productivity.
Are You Drinking Enough Water?
It’s easy to say that most people in the United States aren’t drinking enough water, but how do you know if you are part of that group? Common signs of dehydration are thirst, low energy, headache, irritability, and dry mouth. So if you’ve been feeling sluggish or are struggling to think clearly, it might be time to drink more water. After a few icy glasses, you might find your mood and brain function improved.
Choosing the Right Office Water and Ice Solution
Not all water coolers and ice dispensers are created equal, and choosing the right one for your office is crucial. Your machine should enhance your work experience, not hinder it. The Wellsys i14 office water machine can produce an impressive 44 gallons of ice a day—equivalent to 13 ice cube trays—so there’s always enough for everyone. And the icemaker keeps ice frozen.
A&B’s water and ice dispensers integrate seamlessly with your office water supply, providing in-house purification with the best water filtration system. The i14 has a certified reverse osmosis water filter that purifies your water right before you drink it, ensuring it’s as clean as possible. While some office water coolers allow purified water sit and potentially grow bacteria, the i14’s closed water system and UV technology eliminates buildup of bacteria in the water tank and ice storage bin. The machine also features touchless dispensing for a hygienic experience.
A Smart Investment in Employee Wellness
Investing in a high-quality water and ice dispenser like the i14 isn’t just about convenience—it’s about producing a healthier, more productive workplace. When employees are well hydrated, they’re more alert, more focused, and more engaged. It’s a simple change that can have a big impact on your office culture and performance.
