With WAHU! Water4Office you give your team and your customers great-tasting, fresh, safe water, always on tap. Our water dispensers and microfiltration systems connect to the mains and deliver still, sparkling and chilled water, doing away with water cooler tanks, cases of water and plastic bottles to handle and dispose of.

0.5 L bottles a year in a 100-person office: WAHU! estimate
Less CO₂
from bottle transport, by switching to the water mains (estimate)
0
water jugs to order, store and dispose of: the water comes from the mains
WAHU! estimate: 100 people × 2 bottles of 0.5 L a day × 24 working days a month × 12 months = 57,600 bottles a year.

This is what you spend today, not your saving. Your net saving comes from subtracting the cost of the WAHU solution: it depends on the model and the number of points, and we give it to you in the quote after the site survey. Every assumption above can be edited: put in your own numbers. Declared weight of an empty plastic bottle: 0.5 L about 12 g, 1 L about 25 g, 1.5 L about 35 g; glass is not counted as plastic.

“How many employees do you have?” is the wrong question. The right one is how many people are actually there on a normal day: someone travelling does not drink in the office, and people on shifts do not drink all at once.
| What we look at | Why it changes the machine |
|---|---|
| Actual attendance, not headcount | An office with 80 people on the payroll and 45 present on average uses water like an office of 45, not of 80. Sizing starts there. |
| The points where people drink | Departments, break areas, canteen, meeting rooms: you need a point for every group that would otherwise have to cross the building. Two small points work better than one large one in the wrong place. |
| The shift change | At the shift change everyone arrives within the same quarter of an hour: what counts there is the hourly output, not daily use. Our floor columns chill from about 15 to about 45 litres an hour. |
| Countertop or floor column | Countertop where there is no floor space: small offices, meeting rooms, reception. Floor column where traffic is continuous: break areas, canteens, departments. |
| Several sites | One contract and one point of contact; model and maintenance frequency are set site by site, according to attendance and use. |
The cost of bottled water coolers is not the water: it is everything around the water. Orders, deliveries to sign for, full and empty bottles to store, bottles to swap when they run out — and almost always it is done by someone who is paid to do something else.
| Bottled coolers | Dispenser connected to the mains | |
|---|---|---|
| The water | Comes in bottles, to be ordered | Comes from the mains, always |
| Who manages it | Someone orders, receives, moves the full ones and returns the empties | Nobody for the water: the filter change and, with sparkling water, the CO₂ remain, handled with maintenance |
| Storage | Space needed for the full ones and the empties | None |
| To be moved by hand | Full bottles, one at a time | Only the CO₂ cylinder, for sparkling water |
| Hygiene | Depends on how the bottle is stored and changed | Closed circuit, sanitized at every scheduled maintenance visit |
| Sparkling | Usually not available | Still and sparkling from the same point |
| When it runs out | You are without water until the next delivery | Mains water does not run out: only filter and CO₂ are scheduled |
Convenience
No more heavy water cooler tanks to order, store and replace: water comes straight from the mains.
Savings
Predictable, contained costs compared with bottled water, with consumption kept under control.
Less plastic in the office
No plastic bottles or water jugs to buy and dispose of: a concrete fact for your company and for the people who work there every day.
Hygiene and safety
Microfiltration down to 0.5 micron and scheduled maintenance by our technicians.
