One
day earlier this summer I got a request from my staff
asking for a water cooler with bottled water. I was
amazed, if not a little annoyed. We had installed a
water filter underneath the sink in our kitchen just
6 months ago. So what was wrong with the water? I also
had visions of a litter of empty bottles all over our
kitchen floor and spilled water, to say nothing of what
I saw as an unnecessary expense. "We will even
pay for the water cooler ourselves," said a number
of our staff, so I guessed this was a hot issue.
On close investigation I found out that
the water from our current water filter, which uses
UV, came out rather warm and slow from its special water
filter tap. People did not like to take the time to
fill up water bottles to cool off in the refrigerator
and felt it tasted funny until it had settled down and
cooled off.
Despite my feeling that this was a fuss
about nothing, I could see that the water buffs felt
strongly about this.
We looked at a number of water filter
solutions, and thankfully one of our water filter manufacturers
came forward with a solution that has been enthusiastically
received, and the price was right. What we got was a
countertop
water filter that installed in a matter of minutes,
if not seconds. The water comes out cooler, the flow
of water does not slow down the people who are on the
run, and best of all a couple of people said to me brightly
"this tastes as good as the bottled water in the
health-food store." Water crisis over!
