In a world where our climate is constantly battling the impact of human waste and pollution, resorting to plastic bottles of water needs to stop. We just can’t justify single-use plastic bottles anymore when there are so many brilliant alternatives out there for us to take advantage of. So much plastic ends up in our oceans, damaging wildlife and contributing to our increased carbon footprints – it’s time to channel our inner Greta Thunberg and make a change! 

But ditching plastic bottled water doesn’t just help the environment, there are lots of other benefits that come with bidding farewell to bottled water. Check them out below.

Plastic water bottle pollution is hurting our planet

Unless you been avoiding the news over the past few years, you’ll know climate change is a big deal – and if you disagree, you definitely need to head to Netflix and watch David Attenborough’s Extinction documentary. Like, now! 

Plastic Oceans estimate that over 500 billion plastic bottles are used every year worldwide and single-use plastic is a prime example of how humans are polluting our planet. The high demand for plastic water bottles means we use a large number of fossil fuels to create more and more plastic, which in turn, increases the amount of carbon emissions that go into the atmosphere and destroy our ecosystems. 

And the problems don’t stop there! Once a plastic bottle has been used, incorrect recycling means they can (and very often do) end up in the ocean. If your water bottle has found its way to the big blue, it will break up very slowly into micro-plastics which are incredibly damaging to marine life. Micro-plastics can even make their way onto your dinner plate having been consumed by the fish you bought for tea! But micro-plastics are not just making their way on to our plates, they can even end up back in bottled water… The irony is real.

 

Plastic bottles are expensive!

When you’re caught short on the move and need to top up your liquid levels, the attraction of a bottle of water is clear – it seems cheap and easy, right? Well, perhaps, but it’s not as cheap as you might think. Putting aside the enormous cost to the environment, when you add up all the bottled water you’ve purchased over the years, the cost quickly racks up. 

Tapwater.org – after conducting research into reusable bottles in schools – reported that an average child spends £350 a year on bottled water. Yes, that’s right, a child! So just imagine how much more adults will have spent on bottled water during their lifetime.

Tap water on the other hand, whilst not completely free, is much cheaper by comparison and can work out at only 0.1p per litre. Investing in a reusable bottle as a hydration companion is not only a huge positive when it comes to protecting our planet, but it could just save you some money in the long run! It’s a win-win.

 

Filtered water is better than bottled water – hands down

Bottled water isn’t very trustworthy, to say the least. In fact, in the past, drinks giants Coca-Cola and Pepsi have both been caught trying to launch bottled water brands that were just repurposed bottles of tap water! 

Filtered water from your trusty BIBO delivers fresh and pure water time and time again. With multi-stage filtration including a silver impregnated carbon block and sophisticated UV filtration, the BIBO removes the bad stuff from your water but keeps the natural essential minerals that are good for you.

 

Why you need to stop drinking bottled water

 

It’s time to choose BIBO

 

If you’re on a mission to eliminate single-use plastic bottles from your life but still want delicious, filtered water, we’ve got you covered.

At BIBO, we are firm believers that fresh and filtered water is the best when it comes to taste, health, convenience, consistency and caring for the environment. A big claim, we know. But we mean it – check out all the reasons why you need a BIBO at home here.

Want to find out more about how BIBO can help you ditch the bottle and take better care of both yourself and the world around you? Get in touch with our expert team to find out more about our range! We’re more than happy to answer any questions or queries you may have.

Go to work, don’t go to work, Zoom quizzes, and Barnard Castle: lockdown is undoubtedly a weird and discombobulating time for us all. But what’s weirder is the number of people that have noticed a big change in the taste of their tap water during lockdown. 

Surely, tap water should always taste like… tap water? Well, it turns out, not necessarily. Let’s look at the science.

 

Why does tap water taste different during lockdown?

 

The reason your tap water tastes different in lockdown

 

Please take off your tin foil hat – there’s no conspiracy to see here. Experts have reported the change in water taste over lockdown is caused by increased water consumption now everyone is staying at home, and how this increase affects water treatment. 

Firstly, some context. Before you turn on the taps to fix yourself a refreshing glass of H2O, water companies work behind the scenes to make sure your water is clean and safe to drink. This involves chlorination: a process by which chlorine is added to a water source to disinfect it and remove harmful impurities. 

Now more and more of us are staying in, furloughed, or working from home, lockdown has affected this procedure as the increased demand for water supplies has skyrocketed. As a result, chlorine now has less time to dissipate when it mingles with the water in your pipes before being dispensed, so there may be a subtle or even obvious change to the taste or smell of your tap water. 

Has your tap water started to taste a bit more like your local swimming pool than it should? Blame the neighbours – it’s most likely due to increased usage hampering the chlorination process.

 

How to get rid of the chlorine taste in tap water

 

Faff level – high: Wait until it dissipates

Let’s be honest, no one wants their water to taste like chlorine. If your taps aren’t performing at their best, then an easy workaround is to run some water into a clean jug and let it stand in the fridge. This will allow any residual chlorine levels to reduce, making your water taste and smell much better. 

 

Faff level – medium/high: Use a filter jug

Alternatively, the time might be just about perfect to switch from tap water to filtered water. Filtered water, as the name suggests, filters out the chemicals associated with water treatment leaving you with better tasting and smelling water. By removing chemicals and impurities from your drinking supply, you could notice an improvement to your morning cup of coffee or even your digestion. Want to know more about the differences between filtered and tap water? Why not read our blog for more details on the battle between tap and filtered water. 

 

Faff level – as easy as touching a button: Choose BIBO

A filter jug may scratch the surface, but they take up space and add more time to your brew making routine. You deserve better. You deserve BIBO.

The BIBO Classic is hooked up to your mains supply and provides you with instant access to filtered water – both boiling hot and freezing cold. Not only can the BIBO Classic deliver that perfect cuppa with its customizable temperature settings, but it can get rid of all toxins that have found their way into your water supply. 

What’s more, it’s lockdown proof! Despite the increase in water usage now we’re all indoors, the BIBO doesn’t stop serving up filtered, clean, and tasty water time and time again.

why BIBO is the best water filter system for the home

 

Why is BIBO the best water filter system for the home?

 

Removes impurities 

Did someone say tasty, fresh and toxin-free? With multi-stage filtration including a silver impregnated carbon block and sophisticated UV filtration, the BIBO removes the bad stuff from your water but keeps the natural essential minerals that are good for you.

Did you know that tap water uses chlorine to get rid of germs from your supply? While good for decontamination, chlorine can prove harmful to our health as it presents an increased risk of cancer and other health issues. Filtering your water removes both the chlorine and its health adversities, leaving you with crystal clear water. Tidy.

 

Countless health benefits

From turbocharging your metabolism, boosting your energy levels, improving your skin and increasing oxygen flow around your body, the benefits of having a water filter system at home are huge! Plus, water dispensers such as the BIBO help to promote good habits with users drinking and enjoying much more water and kickstarting a healthier lifestyle. Whether it’s a chilled glass of cold water after a hard workout or a hot cup of tea to snuggle in for a winter movie, the BIBO always delivers great-tasting filtered water in a matter of seconds.

Filtered water also improves healthy mineral content which in turn improves and promotes healthy digestion. When you are properly hydrated, your body can transport and process these nutrients and minerals more easily giving your body the nutrition it deserves. 

Hydration does wonders for the immune system and overall health – period. Don’t believe us? Read more about the benefits of drinking filtered water.

 

Better for the environment

Many people turn to filtered bottled water in an effort to upgrade from tap water without realising the harm this imposes on the world around us. When you filter your water, you are able to get it straight from the source. Investing in a reusable water bottle can save you money in the long run as it cuts out the need for disposable bottles, and therefore saves the environment from the negative impact of another plastic bottle being thrown away and ending up in landfill.

 

Instant hot, cold and filtered water

A BIBO water filter provides instant hot & cold water instantly. Plus, with adjustable temperature settings, you can whip up the perfect brew in seconds. Like your coffee piping hot? BIBO dispenses water up to a scorching 98˚C. Love ice-cold water in the morning? Treat yourself to a super chilled glass of H20 at a temperature as low as 4˚C.

 

It’s delicious 

Let’s be honest, we all know tap water doesn’t taste great. We need water to live, so we may as well enjoy it! Home water filtration ensures every glass of water is downright delicious; fresher and purer, the filters in the water machine remove the chlorine and bacteria that can make tap water taste flat, tasteless, metallic, or even chemical. From cooking to hot brews, you’ll be surprised how much filtered water can elevate the taste of your meals and drinks.

 

Easy installation

Our professional and chirpy installation team is dedicated to getting your BIBO set up with as little disruption to your day as possible. We’ll help you to set up your BIBO energy and sleep timers for when your asleep or out of the house, cup size settings and desired temperatures as part of the installation process. Our friendly technicians will give you a comprehensive demo of your new water filter and functions, so you’ll be well on your way to a home hydration station in no time at all.

 

Flexible payment options

Whether you want to purchase your BIBO in full, rent it or even spread the cost, we have a range of buying solutions to accommodate your needs. Plus, your BIBO comes with a standard two-year warranty with the option to extend it for a further two years if needed. Contact our helpful team to discuss your options.

You’ve made the brilliant decision to ditch the kettle and search for an alternative solution to your drinking water at home or in the office. Kudos! You may have considered the Quooker tap as your next port of call, but before you take the plunge, why not take a look at BIBO?

What makes BIBO such a compelling alternative?

 

Affordable and cost-effective

BIBO has a touch-screen control panel for ease, as well as sleep functions to help with energy efficiency, meaning not only will you be helping the environment, but you’ll be saving money on your energy bills too.

For under £500, the BIBO provides a cost-effective and pleasing alternative that sits proudly on your worktop, becoming the perfect addition to your home or office.

 

Safety-led design

The BIBO can instantly dispense a whole 1.25 litres of boiling or ice-cold water. Sounds great, but what about those little troublemakers in the kitchen who could burn their adventurous little mitts? Don’t fret! Unlike a free-flowing boiling tap such as Quooker, BIBO has a child-lock safety feature meaning all hands, big and little, stay protected and accident-free.

 

Health benefits

The quality of the water supplied by the BIBO has a plethora of health benefits, helping to boost your energy levels, strengthen your immune system and improve digestion to name just a few things. BIBO ensures filtered, clean water is dispensed every time thanks to its multi-stage filtration system, consisting of a carbon block filter cartridge and UV lamp. The BIBO comes out on top when up against tap water as it removes all the nasty stuff but holds onto the essential minerals in your H2O that taste delicious and are good for your body.

As lockdown has eased and more of us have begun to head back to the office, the safety and health of employees is at the forefront of every responsible business owner’s mind. Whilst plastic screens and one-way systems help to maintain adequate social distancing, how else can we ensure the office is a space that benefits the wellbeing of its staff? One cost-effective and healthy way is to acquire a plumbed-in office water cooler.

Everyone wants to be happy and productive at work, especially in these testing times. In this blog, we’ve pulled together the best reasons why your office needs a water dispenser to keep your colleagues hydrated and healthy!

office water cooler at work

 

Countless health benefits

Hydration does wonders for the immune system and overall health – period. Don’t believe us? Read more about the benefits of drinking water.

Approximately 141.4 million working days were lost due to sickness or injury in the UK in 2018. An office filtered water cooler not only gives staff the chance to get up and stretch their legs but can also help to relieve work-related stress and dehydration headaches, improve digestive function and help to ward off nasty sickness bugs.

 

Helps concentration and boosts productivity

We’ve all been guilty of being tired at work or forgetting a small task every now and then; unless you just so happened to get an awful night’s sleep, chances are this is a result of us being thirsty. Dehydration can have a catastrophic effect on concentration, productivity and energy levels. When the body is dehydrated, heart rate and body temperature can dramatically increase causing discomfort and headaches meaning many lose the mental ability to work consistently.

As a result, the NHS recommend that people drink six to eight glasses (about 1.2 litres) of water a day to stay property hydrated. A BIBO office water cooler dispenses instant hot and cold water at the touch of button, meaning employees can reverse (or even better, prevent!) the effects of dehydration as soon as they arise. It’s time to put down those sugary snacks and energy drinks for a mid-afternoon pick me up and grab a revitalising glass of water instead – it will do wonders for your alertness and memory function!

 

Easy to clean and maintain

You don’t need us to remind you that cleanliness in communal spaces is of crucial importance right now. As we just mentioned, office water machines such as the BIBO require an element of touch in order to operate – even if it is only one touch of a button – and so it’s important that it is regularly cleaned in order to prevent the spread of any nasties! BIBO’s sleek design means that it is easily wiped down with a cloth and disinfectant cleaning spray, and its drip tray can simply be removed and placed in the dishwasher.

BIBO is also as low maintenance as office water coolers get. Not only will it remind you itself about when it’s due for a thorough cleaning, but it’s super easy to do. As a guideline, we would recommend you descale your hot tank and change your water filters every six months for optimal performance. Check out our care and maintenance advice here.

 

Saves time

Deadline to hit? Report due on your boss’s desk yesterday? Forget losing precious minutes waiting for the kettle to boil in the breakout area. BIBO provides hot and cold water in an instant, meaning you can whip up the perfect brew and be back at your desk in a jiffy before John from Accounts can bend your ear about last month’s performance reviews. Result. Now get back to work!

 

Saves money

It’s no secret that overheads can pile up before you know it. The BIBO Classic costs as little as 15p per day to run and seeing as it can deliver 7 litres of chilled water and 15 litres of hot water per hour that’s what we like to call cost-saving! Plus, when you and your co-workers aren’t using the machine, the BIBO has an adjustable power on/off setting as well as a variety of sleep modes to ensure your business is only paying for the energy you use.

What’s more, a plumbed-in office water cooler can save employees a pretty penny on an individual level too. A constant supply of fresh, filtered water means no more plastic water bottle purchases or coffees on the way into work; trust us, with water this good, a filter coffee from the shop on the corner is a thing of the past – filtered water makes your hot drink of choice taste so much better.

 

Saves space

Ah, the eternal battle for space in the communal breakout fridge. Whether it’s lunchboxes, water bottles or even the water filter jug gathering dust in the corner, fridge space in the office is a precious commodity. And that’s without even thinking about social distancing and what that entails for how we store personal items in the wake of the pandemic!

Water dispensers do wonders for your office’s space – the BIBO acts a kettle, filter, and water jug wrapped up in one. Plus, as your office kettle’s services are no longer required, you’ll have more countertop space and less unsightly wires to contend with meaning your office kitchen will look a lot neater the next time a client comes to visit.

 

Reduces waste and improves sustainability

When you picture an office water cooler, we’re guessing you’re imagining the upturned blue water bottle that’s eternally empty, right? Not only are these old-fashioned machines impractical and cumbersome to stay on top of, they are terrible for the environment as they are often made from unsustainable single-use plastics. Even those that are reusable need to be cleaned out and refilled, and ain’t nobody got time for that when there’s work to be done!

A plumbed-in bottleless water cooler provides an unlimited supply of filtered water to keep your office fully hydrated throughout the day, with no plastic add-ons to throw away. In fact, BIBO’s replaceable parts (such as the filter pack and UV lamp) are 100% recyclable. Looking for ways to boost your company’s sustainability profile? Look no further.

 

Easy installation

Our professional and chirpy installation team are dedicated to getting your BIBO set up with as little disruption to your working day as possible. We’ll help you to set up your BIBO energy and sleep timers for when your team are out of office, cup size settings and desired temperatures as part of the installation process. Our friendly technicians will give you a comprehensive demo of your new office water dispenser and functions, so you’ll be well on your way to a working office hydration station in no time at all.

 

Flexible payment options

Whether you want to purchase a water cooler for your office in full, rent it or even spread the cost, we have a range of buying solutions to accommodate your needs. Plus, your BIBO comes with a standard two-year warranty with the option to extend it for a further two years if needed. Contact our helpful team to discuss your options.

Your BIBO: Care and Maintenance Tips

 

Clean your machine 

Just like your precious self, the BIBO’s body is a temple and needs a good clean once in a while to keep looking its best. Clean your BIBO machine by simply wiping it down with a damp cloth – your drip tray can also be removed and placed in your dishwasher. Soap or any other gentle detergent can also be used if you wish but please don’t use harsh detergents or anything abrasive to clean the body of your BIBO as it will scratch and nobody wants that!

Simply fancy a change in colour? That’s no problem. You can browse and replace your BIBO’s coloured side panels in our Accessories Shop when the time comes!

 

Change your filters

It’s really easy to change your water filters in your hot water machine. With BIBO, your clever little machine will remind you when the time has come! This will be every 6 months. If you purchase our BIBO Classic machine, choose the Filter Pack Delivery Service to receive your filters automatically and save over 20%! Our convenient service ensures you receive your filters exactly when you need them each year and takes away the worry of having to order them yourself. 

And please remember – our filters are completely recyclable so make sure to pop your old filters in your recycling bin once removed! 

Take a look at this handy guide to changing your BIBO’s filters

 

Clean your hot water tank

A high proportion of the UK population live in hard water areas. That’s why we recommend regularly cleaning your hot tank to protect your BIBO from symptoms of limescale. Our filters do not remove the minerals that cause limescale but the hot tank has been designed to keep those minerals in suspension so that the elements inside do not become furred. We offer a hot tank cleaning kit to descale your hot tank and we typically recommend you do this every 6 months. We have actively avoided using an anti-scale “dosing” system, unlike our major competitor Virgin Pure, as we don’t believe that adding anti-scale chemicals to the water is the best option for the creation of pure water.

 

Symptoms to look out for are:

  • Hot water dispenses more slowly
  • The hot tank will continue to dispense briefly after you touch the key to stop
  • The rear section of your drip tray will slowly fill from the hot tank overflow each time the tank re-heats
  • Excessive dripping from the dispense nozzles whilst heating

 

We recommend descaling your hot tank every 6 months to maintain optimum performance, even if your BIBO isn’t presenting any of the symptoms above. This helps prevent limescale build-ups which may cause your BIBO harm in the future and none of us want to return to the doom days of the dreaded kettle!

Have you ever wondered what makes filtered water and tap water so different? Or can you barely tell the difference at all? Team BIBO has dug deep into the stats and facts to help you understand how filtered water is not just safer than water from the tap, but so much more nutritious, healthy and delicious too!

Is UK tap water safe?

 

In short, yes. It’s true – we in the UK are very fortunate to have safe, drinkable tap water. But that’s just the sticking point: what do we mean by ‘safe’ and is this alone good enough to justify drinking from the tap? The UK is up there with the best of them when it comes to tap water quality; policies such as the Drinking Water Directive ensuring strict quality control and adherence to minimum standards to guarantee uncontaminated water sources. 

Further, the UK has its own dedicated water inspectorate (DWI) with a rigorous set of strict quality standards designed to improve and manage levels of:

  • Pesticides
  • Nitrates
  • Heavy metals such as lead and copper
  • Microorganisms 

But while UK tap water is considered among the ‘safest’ in the world, it can’t be ignored that these chemicals still exist within the water supply and causes concern for many, prompting them toward making the change to filtered water. UK tap water can consist of up to 14 different chemicals, from chlorine to lead and even other people’s pharmaceuticals and hormones. In fact, while the DWI has not recommended any action be taken as of yet, a Brunel University study went as far as to suggest “Every time you enjoy a cool, clear glass of tap water, you could be drinking a cocktail of other people’s second-hand medications”, noting that one tested river alone “contained 45 different prescribed drugs, including the anti-epileptic medication carbamazepine”.

Plus, tap water can taste like choline, and let’s be honest, that’s just gross. Chlorine is for pools – period.

 

How is filtered water better for you?

 

As we’ve already deduced, chlorine-flavoured water is nasty and we’re not so hot on the idea of our drinking water being sprinkled with chemicals either. Filtering can banish both of these problems; the clue’s in the name as all the toxins, bad flavours and impurities are removed! The benefits don’t stop here either, as purified water also does wonders for our health with skin hydration, nutrient absorption, detoxification, and improved digestion amongst its many accolades

Sound good? Well get in on the action and upgrade from the tap! With multi-stage filtration including a silver impregnated carbon block and sophisticated UV filtration, the BIBO removes the bad stuff from your water but keeps the natural essential minerals that are good for you! Tasty, fresh, toxin-free, and environmentally friendly, the BIBO is your one-stop-shop to delicious filtered water at the touch of a button.

Filtered water benefits

 

  • Removes Chlorine

Tap water sources use chlorine to prevent contamination with germs and microorganisms from the water. While good for decontamination, chlorine can prove harmful to our health as it presents an increased risk of cancer. Filtering your water removes both the chlorine and its health adversities as it filters out the chlorine leftover from UK water filtration systems.

 

  • Better for the Environment

Many people turn to filtered bottled water in an effort to upgrade from tap water without realising the harm this imposes on the world around us. In America alone, 17 million barrels of oil are used to produce a year’s worth of bottled water and that doesn’t even include the carbon emissions created as a result or the sheer volume of single-use plastic bottles that end up in landfills. When you filter your water, you are able to get it straight from the source. Investing in a reusable water bottle can save you money in the long run as it cuts out the need for disposable bottles, and therefore saves the environment from the negative impact of mass production of another plastic bottle being thrown away.

 

  • Tastes so much better

While drinking tap water is safe, we all know it tastes pretty bad due to the chemicals used to treat it! Don’t compromise on taste. Purified water is downright delicious; fresher and purer, water filtration removes the chlorine and bacteria that can make tap water taste flat, tasteless, metallic, or even chemical. How sad for those people who say water doesn’t taste of anything – they clearly haven’t lived the filtered life!

 

  • Makes better brews

Filtering your water removes all the bad stuff from your H20, leaving you not just with delicious water but better-tasting brews too! Using filtered water to make your teas and coffees significantly decreases limescale buildup in your coffee pots and cafetières, as well as removing the contaminants which alter and impact the flavour of your favourite drinks. You deserve better than a mediocre cup o’ joe – treat yourself right!

 

  • Improves Digestion

Filtered water improves healthy mineral content which in turn improves and promotes healthy digestion. When you are properly hydrated with  purified water, your body can more easily transport and process these nutrients and minerals, giving your body the benefits and nutrition it deserves. These nutrients will not only make you feel more alert, awake, and fresh, but your body will also be able to process soluble fibre more easily. Remember: your body is a temple – worship it.

 

  • Saves money

Filtered water is so much more cost-efficient than buying bottled water. Investing in a reusable, BPA-free water bottle – such as our BIBO fizz bottles – and refilling it across the day eliminates the need for buying expensive bottled water. The BIBO Classic costs as little as 15p per day to run, and seeing as it can deliver 7 litres of chilled water and 15 litres of hot water per hour, the numbers speak for themselves!
