7 Reasons to Use a Water Dispenser at Home

Looking for a simple and convenient way to stay hydrated at home? Why not opt for a home water dispenser? Not only does it facilitate access to water, but it also has numerous benefits for your health and lifestyle. In this article, we’ll explore 7 good reasons to use a water dispenser at home.

1. A Water Dispenser Encourages Good Hydration

Many people tend not to drink enough water, either because they do not have access to a convenient water source or because they simply forget to drink enough water throughout the day.

This is where home water dispensers can be very helpful. Not only do they allow you to easily access fresh, pure water at any time, but in general, water dispensers using a filtration system tend to improve the taste of water by removing impurities and reducing the presence of chlorine. Better quality water will obviously be a pleasure to drink!

2. It’s Economical

Using a home water dispenser can be cost-effective in the long run. Rather than buying expensive water bottles potentially contaminated by microplastics, you can fill your glasses and bottles with fresh, healthy water from the dispenser. This can save you money in the long term while also reducing your environmental impact.
Did you know, for example, that tap water costs up to 300 times less than bottled water?!

3.  A Water dispenser is More Hygienic

Home water dispensers are often equipped with filters that remove impurities and contaminants from the water, thus ensuring that the water you drink is healthy. This can also help reduce the risk of waterborne diseases, which is especially important for people with weakened immune systems.

However, it will be important to carefully consider the filtration system of your dispenser. We will come back to this later in this article.

4. Convenient

Having a water dispenser at home is extremely convenient, as it allows you to easily access purified water without having to go out to buy water bottles!
Additionally, a water dispenser can be very easy to maintain. We say ‘can’ because it will depend on the type of dispenser you choose.

For example, a bottled water dispenser requires regular replacement of the water bottle, while a networked water dispenser requires pipes and fittings regularly cleaned to prevent mineral buildup. A UV-A dispenser will be the easiest to maintain on this side!

5. Eco-Friendly: Stop Plastic Bottles!

Using a home water dispenser is also beneficial for the environment, as it reduces the amount of discarded plastic water bottles. This can help reduce plastic pollution in the oceans and landfills, which has a positive impact on the planet.
Unfortunately, 25 million plastic water bottles are consumed per day in France! It’s high time to develop more sustainable alternatives.

6. A Dispenser for Your Well-being

When you have easy access to clean, fresh water, it is easier to maintain good hydration throughout the day. This can help prevent dehydration, which can cause headaches, dizziness, fatigue, or a dry mouth.
Water also helps to eliminate toxins from the body, improve digestion, and increase energy and focus.

7. It’s User-Friendly!

Finally, a home water dispenser can add a touch of friendliness to your home. It can be a meeting point for family members or guests, thus creating a warm and welcoming environment.
In addition, a home water dispenser can be customized according to your tastes and preferences, which can add a touch of style to your decor.

What Type of Home Dispenser?

Now that you are convinced of the usefulness of a water dispenser for your home, you need to know which type of dispenser to get!

There are 3 major types of water dispensers for your home:
