It is hard to imagine today that in the past people were not really that aware of just how important the supply of fresh water in our homes and offices would be in the future. We have come a long way in our thinking on the benefits of drinking fresh water every day and Just Water have lead the way in providing an affordable and easy to use service. Twenty-five  years ago, a water cooler in an office was a rarity – now if there is a photocopier in an office, there is every chance there will be a water cooler.

At Just Water, the first water cooler concept was the Easy-fill, whereby a customer received a water cooler, a bottle, a benchtop filter, and a piece of hosing. The customer made their own filtered water by filling their bottle through the filter with hosing attached into the neck of the bottle. Then the process was simplified with a DirectConnect, whereby the filter was fitted into the plumbing system, so any water entering the water cooler was already filtered. Most coolers in offices are either DirectConnect or have their water delivered in bottles. The advantage of water delivery from Just Water is that everything is done for us – the water can either be filtered (AquaFresh), mineral water (Mineral X) or a Vitamin C-enhanced  and slightly flavoured water (VitaBlast).

The big trend over recent years has been sparkling water and Just Water was one of the first companies to supply coolers which deliver sparkling water, costing little more than other DirectConnect coolers (about $40 a month). However, depending on the volume, the customer has to buy gas cylinders when required.

“You are now seeing a lot more sparkling water being served up in cafes, and the trend has gone to the office”, said Tony Falkenstein, CEO of Just Water. “We are now providing more than twice as many sparkling coolers compared with last year and overseas trends are showing  that this is going to continue, as people realise they have the choice, without paying exorbitantly for expensive bottled sparkling water.”

Just Water’s range of crisp refreshing bottled water is delivered right to the front door and is the ideal way to care for your customers and keep your staff hydrated and productive. Just Water is the only bottled water delivery supplier in New Zealand to meet ABWI's strict quality standards and is ideal if a water source is not up to standard.
