What does it cost to rent a water cooler?
You pay per drink, and that price covers everything: the dispenser, installation, maintenance, and the guarantee. See what your site needs for installation before you sign. No fixed monthly fee, so you only pay for what your team actually drinks. No deposit, no delivery charges, no costs after the fact.
Calculate in one minute what Aquablu costs your office per month.
Pay per drink. Everything included. Nothing more.
Rent or buy a water cooler?
Buying looks cheaper, until you factor in what comes with it: maintenance, filters, repairs, hygiene checks and a machine that's written off after a few years. Renting from Aquablu turns that around. We stay the owner, so breakdowns, maintenance and replacements are our responsibility, not yours. And if your office grows or shrinks? Your subscription simply moves with you.

More than a water cooler
A regular water cooler or water dispenser provides your team with water. Aquablu gives them a reason to actually drink it.
Your team has access to water, but they still reach for coffee, soda, and energy drinks. Not because they're not thirsty, but because plain water isn't appealing enough to change behavior.
Discover the benefits of our office water dispenser
01
Leak detection and water safety
Each installation includes integrated leak detection. Problems are identified before they cause damage.
02
Full warranty, entire contract duration
Not just the first year, we cover repairs and replacements for the entire term. It's our equipment, our responsibility.
03
Proactive, not reactive.
We don't wait for you to call. Scheduled maintenance prevents outages. And if something does go wrong: a 48-hour response time is guaranteed.
Good coffee is no longer enough. Employees expect premium amenities and they'll notice when you invest in their well-being.
Hydration affects everything: focus, energy, mood, productivity. But knowing that doesn't make plain water any more appealing.
The AURA dashboard records exactly how much single-use packaging your team has avoided. Concrete figures, ready for your sustainability reports.
No more ordering, lifting, storing, or disposing of bottles. No more deposit administration. No more coordinating deliveries.

01
How much does it cost to rent a water cooler?
You pay per drink, with the dispenser, the installation, the servicing and the warranty included. No fixed monthly fee, no deposit, no delivery charges and no surprises afterwards. The calculator on this page works out what that means for your office in one minute.
02
What size does my office need to be?
Our minimum is 1,000 drinks per month. Most offices reach that quickly. Not sure your team gets there? Request a quote and we'll work it out together.
03
How does installation work?
Our engineer connects the dispenser straight to your mains water supply. Installation is simply part of the per-drink price, along with all servicing afterwards. Your facilities team only needs to point out a spot with a water connection and power. Not sure there's a suitable connection, for instance during a fit-out or a refurbishment? Request a quote and we'll help you find the best spot.
04
What's the difference between renting a water cooler and leasing one?
Traditional leasing gives you equipment and a faults hotline. Hydration-as-a-Service is a complete solution: the equipment, the full servicing, the warranty and a hydration experience designed to improve employee wellbeing. We don't hire out hardware, we're your hydration partner.
05
What's the difference between a water cooler and a water dispenser?
In practice, nothing. Water cooler, water dispenser, mains-fed water fountain: different names for the same machine, a system that delivers chilled, filtered water at work. Aquablu goes a step further, with 60+ drinks from one tap: still, sparkling and functional flavours with vitamins.
06
What happens if the machine stops working?
Ring us. An engineer is on site within 48 hours. All repairs are fully covered under your agreement. This is our equipment and our responsibility for the entire contract period.
07
How does a mains-fed water dispenser work?
The REFILL+ Series 2 connects directly to your water supply. Advanced filtration purifies the water before it reaches the glass, while integrated chilling and carbonation deliver the temperature and type of water you want at any moment. Hot water is available as an optional module. Leak detection is included for extra peace of mind. No more ordering, storing or disposing of bottles, and no deliveries that can fail to turn up.
08
What are the contract terms, and how do I cancel?
Clear up front, without small print: a contract runs 24-60 and you can change your subscription during this time. After this time period, you can renew or stop. The full warranty applies on equipment and service for the entire term.
09
Does it work with hard water?
Yes: the system is designed for UK mains water, and filtration plus scheduled servicing keep limescale in check, in hard-water areas too.
10
How does this support our sustainability goals?
The AURA dashboard gives you precise insight into the number of plastic bottles you've avoided, your consumption patterns and your environmental impact, formatted for ESG reporting requirements.
