Adequate hydration of the body plays a very important role in the healing and recovery process. During illness, the human body often loses more fluids than usual - through fever, sweating, vomiting or diarrhoea. Even simply lying in bed for a prolonged period of time increases the risk of dehydration, especially in older or weakened people. This is why it is so important for patients to have constant, unlimited access to drinking water - regardless of whether they are in a hospital, clinic, nursing home or other medical facility.
Counterintuitively, not everyone has the opportunity to purchase bottled water - some do not have the money, others have no one to bring it to them. For many people, long stays in medical facilities are a daily occurrence, and access to water should not be a luxury in such situations. This is why the installation of water dispensers in public and medical spaces is not only a practical, but a necessary solution.
Modern water dispensers - especially those with contactless sensor actuation - ensure hygiene, safety and ease of use. Anyone can use them themselves, without the need for staff. Such devices minimise the risk of microbial transmission, which is particularly important in hospital and clinic environments.
The benefits of the dispensers extend not only to patients, but also to medical staff. For doctors, nurses or paramedics, access to fresh water in the workplace means improved comfort, better wellbeing and less risk of dehydration during long hours on duty.
Introducing permanent access to drinking water is a simple gesture that can make a real difference to the health, comfort and quality of life of many people - both those who are being treated and those who are being treated.

Water is an essential component of our body - it is responsible for the proper functioning of all systems, supports digestion, regulates body temperature, removes toxins and improves concentration. Although we often hear that 'you need to drink 2 litres of water a day', the actual need for fluids is more complex and depends on many factors such as age, gender, weight, height, level of physical activity or working conditions.
In adults, the average water requirement is 2 to 2.5 litres a day for women and 2.5 to 3 litres for men. However, these values can increase significantly if a person leads an active lifestyle or works physically, especially in high temperatures. Children, although smaller, also need regular hydration - toddlers aged 1-3 years should take in around 1.3 litres of water a day, and school-age children 1.6 to 2.5 litres, depending on gender and age.
One way of accurately determining the amount of water needed is the body weight conversion factor: it is assumed that you should drink between 30 and 40 ml of water for each kilogram of body weight. For a person weighing 70 kg, this means between 2.1 and 2.8 litres a day - a good starting point that you should adjust according to your needs.
The type of work carried out also makes a huge difference to hydration levels. People who work physically, especially outdoors - on construction sites, in agriculture or in logistics - may need up to 4 litres of water a day to replenish losses due to sweat and high ambient temperatures. Even office workers should not underestimate the need to drink regularly - air conditioning and long hours in front of a computer can lead to dehydration, although we do not always feel it immediately.
It is also worth mentioning factors that increase the need for water. These include, but are not limited to: intense physical exertion, high temperatures, feverish illnesses, and diets high in protein, fibre or salt. Coffee, tea and alcohol are also diuretics and can flush water out of the body, so it is a good idea to drink an extra glass of water in their company.
Too little water intake can take its toll on health and daily functioning very quickly. Even minor dehydrationof 1-2% body weight, can cause symptoms such as fatigue, loss of concentration, headaches, dizziness and irritability. The body, deprived of adequate hydration, begins to function less well and metabolic processes are slowed down.
One of the first signs of dehydration is darker colour of urine and a feeling of dry mouth. As dehydration progresses, more troublesome symptoms appear - dry skin, decreased tissue elasticity, reduced blood pressure, a feeling of weakness and, in extreme cases, even heart rhythm disturbances. Long-term fluid deficiencies can lead to serious health consequences such as kidney stones, constipation and even cognitive impairment.
Dehydration is particularly dangerous for the elderly and children. In seniors, the sensation of thirst is often impaired, so that they do not reach for water often enough. Children, on the other hand, lose water more quickly and are more prone to water shortages, especially during hot weather, physical exertion or illness.
It is worth remembering that desire is late signalThe body already starts to feel the lack of water. Therefore, we should not wait to drink until we are really thirsty - it is better to drink regularly, in small sips, throughout the day.
Getting into the habit of constant hydration can significantly improve our mood, performance at work and overall functioning. It is one of the simplest steps towards a healthier lifestyle.
A good indicator of hydration levels is the colour of the urine - light straw-coloured means that everything is normal. If, on the other hand, the urine becomes dark, this is a sign that the body needs more fluids. Other symptoms of dehydration include a dry mouth, tiredness, problems concentrating or a headache.
In fact, there is no one-size-fits-all amount of water we should drink. The key is to watch your body, your lifestyle and adjust your fluid intake according to your individual needs. It is also a good idea to ensure that you have easy access to clean water - both at home and in your workplace or study area. Using water dispensers, street springs and reusable bottles is a simple way to make hydration a healthy daily habit.

Access to drinking water in public spaces and public buildings is nowadays not only a question of comfort, but above all of equality and accessibility. Both outdoor springszneas well as indoor water dispensers should be designed so that they can be used by people with disabilities - especially those in wheelchairs. Appropriate design solutions describe both American ADA regulationsas well as Polish "Catalogue of good design practices" issued by the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy.
In accordance with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), drinking water outlets must be designed to allow full and convenient access for wheelchair users. Key principles are:
Polish Catalogue of Good Design Practices confirms similar requirements. According to it, urban infrastructure facilities, such as sprinklers or watering holes, should:
For indoor water dispensers (e.g. in offices, schools, clinics), there are also clear standards:
By properly hanging the unit on the wall and maintaining clearance underneath, a person in a wheelchair can easily drive up and pour water into a cup or bottle themselves.
Adapting facilities to the needs of all users is a regulatory obligation, but also a sign of social responsibility and design awareness. With the right approach, everyone can use public spaces equally, comfortably and safely.
Both the American ADA standards and the Polish design recommendations make it clear: universal design is not a choice - it is a necessity. By investing in sprinklers and dispensers that comply with these standards, we ensure not only accessibility, but also the dignity of users.

In an era of growing environmental awareness and concern for the comfort of residents and users of urban spaces, the installation of drinking water dispensers (also known as watering points or springs) in public spaces is becoming not only a practical solution, but a necessary one. This is not only an expression of concern for the comfort of citizens, but also a real action to protect the environment and fulfil legal obligations.
Drinking water wells are all about easy access to clean, safe water for everyone - regardless of age, social status or time of day. Their presence in parks, markets, bus stops or in offices and schools means convenience, economy and the ability to hydrate oneself during daily chores or physical activity. Particularly in hot weather, watering holes become invaluable and their absence is felt.
Spas are also a concrete answer to the problem of excess single-use plastic. By promoting the use of reusable bottles and providing refill points, cities can significantly reduce the number of plastic bottles ending up in the environment. This is an environmental measure that has a direct impact on the amount of litter in urban spaces, forests, rivers and landfills.
Local water companies that supply drinking water to residents should treat the installation of sprinklers as part of their image strategy. This is a great opportunity to build positive PR and show that the company not only supplies water, but also actively supports sustainable development and modern urban solutions. Communicating the quality of local water and allowing it to be consumed free of charge in public spaces can significantly increase residents' confidence in tap water.
It is also worth noting that the provision of unrestricted access to drinking water in public spaces is no longer solely the goodwill of local authorities. According to Directive 2020/2184 of the European Parliament and of the EU CouncilMember States are obliged to take measures to improve access to water, especially in public places. The installation of drinking troughs is therefore not only good practice, but also part of the implementation of EU law.
In offices, offices, schools, health centres and other public facilities, access to free drinking water should already be standard. It is a small cost that translates into great comfort for users, and at the same time a signal that the institution is following modern, socially friendly solutions.
The installation of drinking water outlets in public spaces is a solution that brings with it benefits alone - both for residents, the environment and the institutions responsible for water infrastructure. It is convenience, economy, ecology and responsibility in one. It is also an opportunity for city and municipal authorities to implement a practice that combines care for the common good and modern urban space management.

Bottled water has for years been recognised as a convenient and 'pure' alternative to tap water. Colourful labels, slogans about "spring freshness" and crystal clear origins are supposed to convince us that it is the best choice for health. Unfortunately, more and more studies and reports indicate the opposite - bottled water is not only often not superior in quality to tap water, but can contain alarming amounts of microplastics and other contaminants.
One of the most high-profile studies conducted by researchers at the State University of New York at Fredonia, published in 2018, found that more than 90% of water bottles of various brands contained microplastic. The samples came from nine countries and the average content was as high as 325 microplastic particles per litre of water. What is more, it was the water sold in plastic bottles, not the tap water, that had the highest contamination.
Microplastics in the body can lead to inflammation, endocrine disruption and digestive problems. These particles can also bind to environmental toxins and transport them into body cells.
The quality of bottled water is determined not only by the process of obtaining and bottling it, but also by the storage method. Exposure of PET bottles (the most common type of plastic) to UV radiation - for example, during transport or storage in the sun - leads to plastic degradation. As a result of this process chemical compounds such as antimony (antimony) or bisphenol A (BPA) may be released from the bottlewhich have proven toxic effects.
Research published in the journal Environmental Pollution show that water stored in plastic when exposed to heat (even at 30-40°C) begins to release higher levels of chemical compounds that can easily penetrate the body.
Contrary to common myths, tap water in many Polish cities meets strict quality standards and is regularly tested. In addition, it can be further filtered using jugs, filter bottles or sub-bottle systems. This is not only healthier, but also a much cheaper solution - both for your pocket and for the environment.
If you are concerned about comfort and want to avoid plastic, it is worth opting for a water in glass bottles or - even better - use reusable bottles, such as stainless steel, glass or high-quality BPA-free plastic. This is a practical, environmentally friendly and, in the long term, healthier solution.
While bottled water may seem 'safe' and 'better', the truth is more complex. Microplastics, chemicals released from plastic and uncontrolled storage conditions are real risks that speak to the need to rethink daily choices. Tap water, properly filtered and stored in a safe container, can not only be healthier, but also friendlier to the planet.

Every school child has the right to unlimited and free access to clean drinking water. This is not only a matter of comfort for pupils but, above all, a legal obligation on school principals and those responsible for the operation of educational establishments.
The provision of drinking water in schools is regulated, among other things, by the Child Nutrition Act and the recommendations of the National Institute of Public Health PZH. The regulations make it clear that head teachers are obliged to create conditions that allow pupils to hydrate regularly in a hygienic and safe manner.
In many schools, students do not have access to drinking water in appropriate places. Sometimes the only water source available is the taps in the bathrooms, which is extremely unhygienic. Children often drink tap water in sanitary facilities, which does not meet basic hygiene standards and can lead to health problems.
Not all schools have their own kitchen or canteen where drinking water could be dispensed. Even if an establishment works with a catering company, access to water may be limited - it is often only offered as part of paid meals, which does not meet the statutory obligation to provide students with free access to water.
The National Institute of Public Health PZH recommends the installation of special springs and water dispensers, which are the most effective and hygienic solution.
It is advisable to rely on tried and tested equipment that is approved by the PZH and also has a B building mark. It is also important to ensure that they are regularly maintained and sanitised to avoid the risk of contamination and provide safe conditions for children.
We offer certified drinking water dispensers and springs that meet the highest hygiene standards. We provide a comprehensive service including maintenance and cyclical sanitisation of the equipment, which guarantees long-term and trouble-free operation.
Let's not allow children to be forced to drink water from bathrooms! Ensuring that they have access to clean and safe water is a fundamental responsibility of every school. Contact us and choose the solution that best suits your establishment's needs.

Modern water dispensers are not only about functionality, but also about design and modern technology. Models designed for the catering industry are equipped with advanced filtration systems that remove impurities and improve the taste of the water. The availability of different variants - chilled, sparkling or hot water - means that a single dispenser meets many needs, from a chilled drink to the preparation of tea or coffee.
More and more guests and customers are paying attention to the ecological and health-promoting approach of hotels and restaurants. The sight of an accessible water dispenser in a hotel lobby or an elegant carafe on a table in a restaurant is not only impressive, but also builds a positive opinion of the establishment.

These days, looking after the health and wellbeing of employees is a priority for many companies. One of the key aspects is to ensure that they are adequately hydrated, especially in hot weather and for those doing manual work. Employers have a legal obligation to provide employees with unlimited access to drinking water, and modern solutions such as tap water dispensers make it easier to meet this requirement, while bringing many benefits.
According to the Labour Code and health and safety regulations, the employer is obliged to provide employees with access to drinkable water in an amount that meets their needs. Water should be available continuously and free of charge. Particular emphasis is placed on manual workers and those working in high temperatures, whose need for fluids is greater.
Guidelines for the amount of drinking water for workers depend on a number of factors, such as the type of work, ambient temperature, humidity and individual body needs. It is recommended that workers have constant access to water and drink it regularly, even if they do not feel thirsty.
The costs associated with providing drinking water to employees can vary, depending on the solution chosen. Bottled water dispensers are the most common, but they generate high associated costs, which are connected directly to the water supply. The cost of purchasing such a dispenser is a one-off and the running costs are considerably it is an increasingly popular solution with many benefits for both employees and employers. They are convenient to use as they provide constant access to fresh, filtered water. In addition, they are economical as they generate much lower costs than bottled water dispensers.
They are also an ecological solution. They reduce the production and consumption of plastic bottles, which translates into less environmental pollution. Many modern dispensers also have a carbonation function to carbonate the water, making it possible to prepare refreshing sparkling water.
Providing employees with unlimited access to drinking water is not only an employer's responsibility, but also an investment in their health and well-being is a modern and functional solution that makes it easy to meet this requirement, while bringing many economic and environmental benefits. By choosing a tap water dispenser, a company shows that it cares about its employees and the environment.
