Rethink Sugary Drinks
Health Heavyweights Launch Rethink Sugary Drinks Campaign When health heavyweights like the Heart Foundation, the Cancer Council and Diabetes Australia join forces to launch a campaign, it’s a good bet they have a serious message to convey. That’s exactly what happened in January 2013 with the launch of the “Rethink Sugary Drinks” campaign. The Heart Foundation’s press release didn’t mince words, starting out with 2 shocking facts about sugar-laden drinks: A 600ml soft drink contains the equivalent of about 16 sugar packets. Just one soft drink per day can lead to weight gain of up to 6.75kg in a single year. While you may have seen the TV ads (“You’d never EAT 16 packs of sugar”), the campaign also goes behind the scenes, to governmen... continue reading

5 Reasons Why Drinking Water is Good for You
We all know that water is good for us, but sometimes forget just how vitally important clean, safe drinking water is for our health. There are at least 10 reasons why other fluids are no substitute for the kind of water you get from a Cleverwater water cooler. These are the Top 5: 1: Water Does Not Contain Calories You’re feeling thirsty, but the thought of tepid water from the tap doesn’t appeal, so you grab a soft drink instead. This is a diet disaster. Soft drinks with artificial sweeteners are not a real solution, either, because studies show that artificial sweeteners are bad for your health in many ways. Weight loss researchers recommend water for weight loss because it is filling, satisfies thirst and doesn’t have any negative side effects – as long as it is water that has had the impurities filtered out of it. 2: Water Flushes Toxins out of the Body The... continue reading

Cooking & Water
Cooking and Water We don’t tend to think about it too much, but top chefs and baristas do: the water you use for cooking and brewing makes a big difference to the quality of the foods or beverages you are preparing. It all has to do with the mineral and chemical content of the water. If you’ve ever wondered why one café serves a great espresso or cappuccino while another’s is just so-so, it may be because the great espresso has been made with filtered water, while the so-so espresso has been made with tap water. Unlike ordinary drip coffee, which is so often bitter, a good espresso has a full, rich flavour because instead of using boiling or near boiling water, an espresso machine forces water heated to the perfect temperature through finely ground coffee under pressure. That combination of heat and pressure has to be just right. If it is not, you end up with weak or bitter coffee. Over time, the high mineral content of unfiltered water... continue reading

Water -the facts
Clarifying Tap Water: What are the Facts? For generations, people in developed countries have been drinking tap water. It would be a fair question to ask why you should think about investing in a Cleverwater water cooler when previous generations were happy enough to drink tap water and suffered no ill effects. Are there any facts to support the claim that our tap water can no longer be trusted to be safe? We live in a different world today: an industrialised world. Fifty years ago, no one would have thought twice about eating tuna. Today, health officials caution consumers to limit their consumption of tuna and some other large fish species because of the high levels of mercury that have been found in them. In particular, Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) recommends pregnant women limit their intake of some fish species to one 150 gram servi... continue reading

Drinking Water Revolution
The Drinking Water Revolution As if we didn’t have anything else to worry about, there’s a drinking water revolution occurring in Australia and around the world. On one side stand the advocates of bottled water, who say that tap water is unsafe for drinking and everyone should drink their brand of bottled water only. On the other side are the growing ranks of those who say that “good old-fashioned tap water is good enough for me.” In between, raising the white flag of reason, is Cleverwater, asking both sides to “make sense out of water” with cleverly filtered water coolers. Bottled water sales went from near zero to astronomical when concerns about the safety of tap water were raised in the 1980s. One thing many Australians quickly discovered was that bottled water tasted better than tap water and the era of “designer label” bottled water began. Tap water was not only unsafe, it was uncool. After nearly 20... continue reading

History of drinking water
A Short History of Drinking Water It’s no exaggeration to say that the history of humanity has largely been shaped by the availability of clean, safe drinking water. Where water was not available in abundance, large societies were unable to develop. Then, as urban centres were established, another problem arose: our water supplies became polluted. It’s been a long road from the time Hippocrates invented the first home water filtration system to the state-of-the-art Cleverwater water cooler, but it looks like we’ve finally got it right. Over four thousand years ago in ancient India and Greece, boiling and straining water to remove dirt particles was already a standard practice and remained the only treatment method even considered until 1627, when Sir Robert Bacon attempted to remove salt from water by filtering it through sand. This proved unsuccessful, but was the springboard for a spate of other water filtration experiments. &nbs... continue reading

Safer Water Coolers
Why Cleverwater Watercoolers Are Safer Watercoolers The sight of empty plastic water bottles everywhere you go in Australia is testament to the fact that Australians simply do not trust their tap water any more. While we are aware of the environmental issues surrounding those millions of plastic bottles, they often seem like the lesser of two evils. There is a solution to the tap water versus bottled water dilemma, though. Cleverwater watercoolers are the safe and economical solution to Australia’s drinking water needs. Cleverwater Watercoolers are Safer Cleverwater watercoolers are safer because they employ a variety of water purification systems rather than relying on just one. Cleverwater offers two types of water coolers: Refillable water coolers are the convenient solution in situations where plumbing is not available or you do not wish to place your watercooler in a fixed location. ... continue reading

Is Australia's Tap Water Safe for Drinking?
Is Australia’s Tap Water Safe for Drinking? Fresh water is something no Australian can afford to ignore. We live on a largely arid island and what water sources that are available have to be shared by everyone. Even between droughts, when water is plentiful, a tug of war takes place between environmentalists, industrial and agricultural interests, and the general public, who want assurance that they will have sufficient amounts clean, safe water for their needs. In the year 2000, the Australian government undertook the first National Land and Water Resources Audit and came to some conclusions that should be of interest to anyone concerned with the quality of their drinking water. Amongst the key findings of the study were those concerned with water quality. The study covered four aspects of water quality: Nitrogen levels Phosphorous levels ... continue reading
