Save Money

Bottleless water coolers connect to your building’s existing water line and filter water on-site. The built-in filtration technology ends up saving your business a lot of cash, both short-term and long-term.

Bottleless water coolers…

• Eliminate the cost of bottles and jugs. The average bottle of water costs $1.29 and the average 5-gallon water jug is $7. Those numbers add up when you have to hydrate offices full of employees for years on end.
• Eliminate the cost of regular delivery. Plastic bottles and 5-gallon water jugs need to be replenished regularly. When you pay for a water delivery service, you pay for the salary of the person delivering your water and transportation costs.
• Free up time for your employees. Offices that rely on water delivery often pay employees to dedicate time to their workplace drinking water (replenishing, ordering, planning, organizing, etc.).
• Save expensive real estate. Storing bulky jugs and bottles can take up a lot of valuable space in your office. That’s space you could be using to maximize your returns.
• Eliminate the risk of worker’s comp. A full 5-gallon water jug weighs approximately 43 pounds. Asking employees to replenish those heavy jugs puts them in harm’s way and puts you at risk for safety compensation claims.
• Reduce sick days. Across the United States, drinking water systems fail to meet state and federal standards. Offering employees unfiltered tap water may save you money upfront. Yet, it can lead to more employees calling in sick from waterborne illnesses, which will cost your business more in the long run.

Instead, you pay for…

• Installation fees (minimum payment $199). Set it and forget it! Our certified and insured service technicians will work with you individually to determine the best location for your machine. It typically takes 1.5 hours to install a Quench system.
• Monthly service fees. With bottleless water coolers, you can offer your entire workforce clean, mineral-infused water for just $1.90/day on average. That cost covers service and maintenance fees.
• Advanced filtration & sanitization. Quench’s proprietary filtration technology offers the highest level of purification and eliminates pollutants, including pesticides, nitrates, fluoride, and 99% of lead while adding essential minerals to revitalize taste and enhance alkalinity.

Limit Environmental Harm

Today, nearly 70% of North Americans think it’s important that a brand is sustainable or eco-friendly. A bottleless water cooler can be the sustainable water solution your business needs to meet the environmental expectations of your employees and customers.

Bottleless water coolers…

• Reduce dependency on carbon-emitting plastics (single-use bottles and 5-gallon water jugs). From extraction to manufacturing to discarding, plastic results in greenhouse gas emissions at every stage of its lifecycle. The Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) says if plastic production stays on its current trajectory, by 2030, greenhouse gas emissions from plastic could reach 34 billion tons per year.
• Eliminate emissions caused by delivery trucks. Customers who depend on delivery services are responsible for higher carbon emissions due to the regular fuel emissions from delivery trucks.
• Reduce plastic waste. Humans use 1.3 billion plastic bottles every day. Replacing single-use bottles and 5-gallon water jugs with sustainable water solutions like reusable bottles and bottleless water coolers can drastically reduce our plastic waste.
• Require less energy. Select Quench machines are Energy Star certified, meaning they use less energy to perform the same tasks as other water dispensers. To become Energy Star certified, a water cooler is tested by measuring the energy being used in a 24-hour period to maintain cold and/or hot water at the appropriate dispensing temperatures. For more information about how water coolers become Energy Star certified, please visit: www.energystar.gov.
• Are made in an ISO-certified factory. Quench factories operate at high efficiency to reduce waste. This approach both ensures the quality of your products and helps to decrease the environmental impact of our sustainable water solutions.

Instead, you save…

• Carbon emissions. Companies that replace 5-gallon water jugs with bottleless water coolers are responsible for the emission of 53% fewer tons of CO₂ every year (for an office of 50 daily users). Companies that replace single-use plastic bottles with bottleless water coolers are responsible for the emission of 95% fewer tons of CO₂ every year (for an office of 50 daily users).
• Plastic. Just one bottleless water cooler can keep 7,000 plastic bottles or 150 5-gallon water jugs out of the environment every year.

Lastly, replacing just one plastic jug cooler with one of Quench’s sustainable water solutions is the greenhouse gas equivalent of planting 120 trees each year! Make the switch and start saving today!
