With the concerns about purity and taste of tap water, bottled water has become very popular with people at home, at work and on the go. However, the plastic it’s stored in has health and environmental impacts.

The chemicals polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and bisphenol-A (BPA) in plastic can leach into the water and cause health problems including reproductive and hormonal issues. They may also be carcinogenic.

In addition to health risks, plastic has a high environmental footprint. The amount of fossil fuels and water required to manufacture plastic bottles plus the mounting plastic in our landfills are all detrimental to the planet.

BostonbeaN has the answer to both better health and doing your part to help the environment.

Using Bottleless Water Dispensers

You can decrease the environmental and health impacts of drinking bottled water by using bottleless water dispensers. Many of them not only dispense hot, cold and ambient water, but some even dispenses several flavors of water or soda. Explore our offerings from TopWater, The Bevi, ION Bottleless Water Cooler, SmartSoda and the FRIIA Water System.

BostonbeaN offers vitamin-infused craft sodas and sparkling water made with alkaline water. The beverages are 100 percent natural, kosher, vegan and gluten-free. They are also rich in antioxidants.

Additional benefits of ditching bottled water for a bottle-less beverage dispenser include:

• Saving Money: The long-term cost of using a bottle-less dispenser vs. bottled water is less expensive. While you have the initial cost of installing the dispenser, it pays for itself over time.
• Health Benefits: When you use a bottle-less beverage dispenser, you reduce the risk of health issues. Additionally, you can choose healthy options, such as SmartSoda.
• Plastic Pollution: Even with recycling, plastic still ends up in landfills and our oceans. Using a bottle-less beverage dispenser means less plastic in the environment.
• Water Sources: Not all water comes from natural springs. Many brands use water from municipal supplies, which is much the same as using tap water. A bottle-less beverage dispenser filters your tap water so you know the water is safe.
• Regulation: Bottled water is not as strictly regulated as tap water. Because it is regulated as a “food product” rather than water, it does not go through the same testing and monitoring that tap water does.

Instead of helping deplete springs, wells and aquifers by contributing to the large volume of water removed from these resources by bottled water companies, install a bottle-less beverage dispenser with SmartSoda from BostonbeaN.

You’ll contribute to less energy consumption for the manufacturing of plastic bottles and the fuel used to deliver them and decrease certain health risks.

Summer and water are the perfect combination. Nothing’s more refreshing on a hot summer day than the magical elixir — whether taking a dip in it at a pool or beach, or enjoying it as a cool beverage (just mix with lemons!).

We all know that consuming water is one of the simplest ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It’s even easier than getting in those 10,000 steps. Yet, many of us overlook this simple solution. Here are 10 fun facts to give you a “refresher” on why it’s so important to prioritize your daily water intake.

1. More essential than food for survival

We love our food and snacks, but in reality, we could live about a month without food. Water? You’ll die within a week without it.

2. The elite 1%

Although water seems abundant on Earth, only 1 percent of it is available for human use. What about the rest? Ninety-seven percent is salty or undrinkable, and 2 percent is frozen in our ice caps and glaciers. We’re all vying for our share of that 1 percent amongst competing agriculture, manufacturing, residential, and community needs.

3. The 75% rule

Your brain is about 75% water. Even mild dehydration can begin to affect cognitive abilities. According to dehydration researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology, attention, coordination and complex problem solving suffered the most.

4. Big 5 jobs

In the body, water performs five extremely important jobs. It regulates your temperature, carries oxygen and nutrients to cells (83% of blood), cushions joints, protects vital organs and tissues, and helps eliminate waste in the bowels and kidneys.

5. 3 ways the body loses water

Everyday functions, like sweating and urination, cause the body to lose water that needs to be replaced. Did you know that you also lose water when breathing?

6. 8 x 8, on average

The average person should drink 64 ounces of water (eight 8-ounce glasses) daily to stay healthy.

7. It boosts skin health

Water helps keep your skin healthy. Without it, skin is more vulnerable to disorders and premature wrinkling.

8. Water helps with problem-solving

We mentioned that lack of water can negatively affect brain function. But did you know that water is involved in producing hormones and neurotransmitters that boost brain function?

9. Water helps with digestion

Water helps mitigate digestive problems like constipation, heartburn, and stomach ulcers by helping prevent too much acid in the stomach.

10. Water helps maintain blood pressure

A lack of water can cause the blood to thicken, which increases blood pressure.
