Who are we and what do we do?

The Thirst Alternative is your complete one-stop shop for modern water coolers and water boilers.

We also offer reliable servicing and maintenance plans for ongoing support with your workplace hydration systems.

We help businesses switch from outdated and inefficient bottled water coolers to a modern, plumbed-in and filtered solution.

Our aim is to make managing workplace hydration as straightforward as possible.

As part of our service, we offer:

  • Tailored, modern water cooler solutions: With more than 30 years’ experience in the industry, we can help you design a tailored solution that’s perfect for your business.
  • Free site survey and free water cooler installation: Installation only takes about an hour and a half and is carried out using non-intrusive microbore tubing to minimise disruption to your business.
  • Cutting-edge water filters: Our one-micron water filters remove chlorine at the source, to provide a constant supply of high-quality purified water.

FAQs
 
Are mains-fed water coolers better than bottled systems?

Mains-fed water cooler systems are generally more environmentally friendly and more cost-effective as they don’t require frequent deliveries of large plastic bottles of water.

Will a mains-fed water cooler improve the taste of our tap water?

Yes. We will install a one-micron filter to your water mains to remove chlorine and impurities and significantly improve water quality and taste.

Are mains-fed systems more cost-effective long term?

Yes. Switching to a mains-fed system usually helps businesses to save money in the long term as they don’t need to keep ordering bottled water to be delivered.

How long will it take to install my new water cooler?

We complete most installations in just 90 minutes.

Do you offer a free, no-obligation site survey?

Yes. During a free site survey, our trained team will advise you on the best location for your new water cooler and explain how the installation process works.
