Save money on workplace drinking water.
Pay one regular fee, no matter how much water you drink.
Avoid paying for:
Producing and recycling bottles (including landfill taxes)
Energy costs of producing bottled water
The administration to plan, forecast, and order all your workplace water.
Storage of empty and full (spare) bottles.
Disruption caused by repeated bottle deliveries and complicated invoices.
Health and safety risks of lifting heavy bottles or drinking water that has not been filtered or purified at the point of use.

7. POU v Bottled Water – The Story

8. POU: Better than bottles.
Opportunity Cost
Positive environmental effects
Replacing bottled water with Waterlogic POU units significantly reduces total cost of drinking to your organization. Waterlogic products are by nature a cost saving and environmentally friendly technology replacing bottled water and promoting a positive effect on the workplace.

9. The Sustain Project
Up to
72%
less Co2 footprint
with Waterlogic
POU
A recent independent study was undertaken by the respected UK environmental consultancy Sustain, comparing the carbon footprint of a Waterlogic POU dispenser with a standard Bottled Water Cooler, proving that the Waterlogic POU has a lower carbon footprint.

10. Reasons to believe
With many other water purification technologies, getting great quality water, entails a potentially energy intensive process.
Waterlogic UV purification has always been the best solution in terms of purity and energy efficiency.
But Firewall goes that step further,, % purity, achieved in less than 1 second, optimizing energy usage, its as much an environmental story as a purification story.

11. Reasons to believe ENERGY STAR
Our water dispensers have been awarded the Energy Star mark.  
Water coolers that earn the ENERGY STAR® not only help organizations reduce their energy bills, but also can help make a difference for the environment by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy.
ENERGY STAR qualified water coolers result in 45% savings over typical products.
“ENERGY STAR is more than a label awarded for energy efficiency. It is a partnership among government, business, and consumers, united in the pursuit of a common goal—to protect our environment for future generations….The quality of the environment is everyone’s responsibility and by bringing ENERGY STAR into homes and businesses we can make an enormous difference.” US EPA

Certifications and Compliance
Company
Certification
ISO 9001 and CE: In addition to other certifications, Waterlogic products bear several that pertain to environmental considerations including the CE Certification Marking, which is a manufacturer’s declaration that the product complies with the essential requirements of the relevant European health, safety and environmental protection legislations. WRAS Approval - WRc-NSF Ltd. Certificate, certifies that the products do not cause waste, improper use, improper consumption or water resource contamination
Waterlogic is commencing the process of attaining ISO and OHSAS certifications, which give the requirements for an environmental management system (EMS), a tool for helping organizations to implement good environmental practice and to aim for continual improvement of their environmental performance.
ROHS/WEEE Directive
All electronics and wiring within Waterlogic products are ROHS compliant. Waterlogic also meets the requirements of the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directive concerning the collection, recovery & recycling of equipment. RoHS compliance is not assumed, but tested by third party laboratories to ensure full compliance with this directive. Components, including painted plastic components, have also been tested and fully complied with all RoHS stipulations.

NOTE: This information is provided as guidance only.
Energy consumption will be effected by incoming water temperature, room - temperature and usage
patterns.. Water samples were taken in quantities of; 10 litres cold and 10 litres hot, except for sparkling versions where; 10 litres hot, 6 litres cold and 4 litres sparkling were taken.
Though considerably larger, Waterlogic POU machines use about the same or significantly less energy than a 100 watt light bulb.

16. POU: The Facts.

17. The Facts
Replacing bottled water with Waterlogic POU significantly reduces negative impact on the environment.
By replacing bottled water with POU, organizations can promote a positive effect on the environment:
Reducing fuel consumption resulting in CO2 emissions and traffic congestion caused by delivery trucks on the road moving bottles
Eliminating wasted plastics from bottles, which can only be re-used 4-5 times
Eliminating detergent use for bottle cleaning

18. The Facts Bottled water facts...
The World Wildlife Foundation estimates that 1.5 million tons of plastic are used globally each year for water bottles1
According to the Earth Policy Institute 1.5 million barrels of oil are required to make plastic bottles per year, enough to fuel 1,000 cars for a year2
According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), bottled waters do not have any greater nutritive value than tap water
Delivering bottled water from far away places burn fossil fuels and results in the release of thousands of tons of harmful emissions; 22 million tons of bottled liquid is transferred each year from their country of origin3, transported by boat, train, air and ground transport
Bottled water that is shipped and/or stored cold requires additional electricity

19. The Facts Bottled water facts...
Large amounts of energy are used in water bottling plants throughout the US and the world4
Energy is required to remove the empty bottles in the form of recycling or trash
Bottled water may be no safer, or healthier than tap water in many countries while selling for up to 1000 times the price5
Typically 90 % or more of the cost paid by bottled water consumers goes to things other than the water itself -- bottling, packaging, shipping, marketing, retailing, other expenses, and profit6
According to the Climate Action Network, when some plastic bottles are incinerated along with other trash, as is the practice in many municipalities, toxic chlorine (and potentially dioxin) is released into the air while heavy metals deposit in the ash7

20. The Facts
There are many environmental costs that society must pay, such as loss of groundwater, toxic emissions from plastic production and destruction, air pollution from transporting the products, and the disposal of loads of empty bottles
The Container Recycling Institute (CRI) estimates that supplying the US bottled water market for 1 year consumes more than 1.5 million barrels of oil, which is enough to generate electricity for more than 250,000 homes or enough to fuel 100,000 cars for an entire year8
The CRI estimates that 90% of plastic water bottles end up as either garbage or litter9

21. The Facts
There are many environmental costs that society must pay, such as loss of groundwater, toxic emissions from plastic production and destruction, air pollution from transporting the products, and the disposal of loads of empty bottles
Plastic accounts for 25% of the total volume of material sent to landfills every year and plastic water bottles can take as long as 1,000 years to biodegrade10. Plastics are the fastest growing sector in the waste stream and currently take up 25 percent of the volume of materials sent to landfills each year11
Tap water is distributed through an energy-efficient infrastructure12
Approximately 40 percent of bottled water begins as tap water13
Less than 5 percent of plastic waste is recycled each year14
