Boiling Tap Repair

Our service technicians are able to carry out service and Boiling Tap repair to many office boiling water tap brands. So whether you’re looking for a Zip tap repair, a Brita Vivreau Vi-tap service or help to fix a problem with a Billi tap, then our team can help you!

We offer annual maintenance plans for hot taps as aswell as a one off service for your Zip tap if that’s all you require.  If you have multiple taps at your office, we will be happy to look at a maintenace package tailored to your requirements as your hot taps may be different ages and possibly different models.

The three boiling tap service plans we offer are; Silver, Gold and Platinum.  Each of these plans have different levels of cover depending on what your requirements are as you may have existing manufacturers warranty in place or you’re prepared to pay for Zip tap or Billi spare parts on a pay as you go basis.

A few FAQs below may be able to help you without having to arrange a hot tap engineer to attend your site:

How frequently do Zip Hydrotap filters need to be replaced?  

We recommend a minimum of replacing the filter every six months and in high use locations it may need to be more frequently. The Zip filter light will come on when it is time to replace the filter, so just call or email our team to request a replacement Zip filter.  As well as the Zip filter, there may be an inline scale reducing filter which will also need changing bi-annually. These scale filters can branded such as 3M filters or Brita Claris Filters and are similar to filters for large coffee machines.  Wellbeing will specify the right filter for your tap location.

How do I report a fault with a Zip tap?
If you have a problem with your hot tap, the quickest way to get help is to call our friendly team on 01905 337187 to discuss over the phone. There may well be a simple fix for your boiling tap repair which can be resolved by a phone call.

What is the best maintenance package for a Zip tap?
We offer a platinum package which covers you for all routine services on Zip hydrotaps and also breakdown cover for Zip hydrotaps. Filters and comprehensive scale management are included in the platinum option. We recommend the platinum package as it is easier for you to budget for and avoids unexpected call out charges. We can offer discounted Zip pricing if you have several taps located in the same office. Please contact one of our team to discuss a proposal tailored to your requirements.

Can I still book a repair if I don’t have a contract in place for my Zip tap?
Yes, there is the option to Pay as You Go on call outs. There would be an initial labour charge and then any Zip parts used would be charged following the visit.  We can of course also discuss enrolling you on one of our very competitive Annual Service Packages if you would prefer.

My Zip tap has no water coming out, what shall I do?
Firstly, enquire whether the water supply to your building has been interrupted at all.  Next, try checking that the water supply to the Zip under counter unit is turned on. Sometimes this could be isolated by a member of staff by mistake and would prevent the cold water supply reaching the Zip tap. Also check that the power is turned on, and see if there are any error messages shown on the display screen. If you do have an error message showing on your zip tap then it may be best to speak to one of our service team on 01905337187 or email service@thewellbeinggroup.co.uk.

There is water in the cupboard where my Zip tap is, could this be a leak?
It could well be a leak from either the water supply connections or the Zip tap itself. If the leak is an issue it would be advisable to turn off the water at the isolation point in the cupboard straight away and switch off the power at the socket. It is very helpful if you can email a couple of pictures of the tap and unit under the worktop to our service team, so they can then provide further advice and help as to the best way forward.

What does it mean when the red or blue lights are flashing on my Zip tap?
A blue flashing light means that the cold water has been used up and needs a little time to chill back down to the set cold temperature. Wait for the blue light to stop flashing which means that the water is then ready for use again.

We are relocating offices, can I move a Zip tap to the new office?
Our team can work with you to help move over your existing tap if you feel your hot tap still has a few years of life left in it. If your Zip tap is older than 5 years we would recommend replacing for a new unit and our team can supply you with rental or purchase pricing for new boiling & chilled taps. We can also work with your fit out contractors to install the Zip taps and ensure the power and plumbing requirements are in the right locations.

The CO2 gas has run out on my Zip tap, how do I replace the gas cartridge?
There are videos online which can guide you through this process but feel free to contact our service team who will be able to help over the phone.

We can also look at maintenance of other hot taps you may have already installed such as Illimani, Quooker, EZYTAP and also counter-top water boiler brands like Instanta, Marco and Bravilor.

Is it possible to get 100 degrees boiling water from a tap?

We all know that the boiling point of water is 100°C and at this point it becomes steam.  However, we are often asked is it possible to have 100°C boiling water from a tap? It wouldn’t be much of a cuppa if all we had was a tea bag and a cup of steam so our Billi taps leave our factory set at 98.5 degrees C which is the optimum temperature for brewing a cup of tea.

The Billi hot tap is designed so that there is no temperature decline in periods of high demand so that everyone receives a consistent temperature throughout the working day.  The temperature can be adjusted to meet customer’s requirements.

A Billi system with a drainage font is far safer than using a kettle.  This is because a kettle usually contains over a 1L of boiling water and if this is tipped onto the users hand whilst filling a cup or knocked over onto someone, the damage could be very serious.  When using a Billi tap, the cup can be placed onto the drip tray and the users hand can be kept well out the way whilst the mug is filled with hot water.  Kettles and wall mounted hot water boilers are a concern for safety in the office environment and a Billi tap or counter top Arizona hot water boiler are much safer options.

Splash free technology by electronic control of boiling water delivery ensures user safety. The flow is momentarily slowed as the water exits the dispenser, eliminating splashing as the water enters the cup. All Billi Boiling and Chilled dispensers come with an integrated safety switch. The red lock icon demonstrates when the safety switch is activated, simply press the switch to release the lock and allow full use of boiling water. The system will revert to safety mode after 8 seconds of non-use.

Billi Tap
Billi Taps

Where space is an issue, you can have a 4 in 1 Billi water tap which has filtered chilled water, hot drinking water, sparkling drinking water and a separate mixing tap for the sink unit.  The system is known as the Billi Quadra Plus and available to lease or purchase outright.  The Billi Quadra range is a great tap that has instant, filtered boiling and chilled water with a range of capacities to suit every office environment. We supply Billi taps to offices in Manchester to London, each with a package tailored to suit their requirements.

Although there are Billi systems capable of producing enough hot water for 100 staff, if this is the sole source of boiling water for your office, we recommend having two smaller boiling chilled water taps installed.  This makes it quicker to fill cups in peak times and also means you have a backup if one system was to break down.  If your Billi tap does break down, please call our service department who will be able to give you advice over the phone and arrange a Billi engineer if necessary.

The versatility of a Billi Tap

It’s not only the boiling aspect to consider when you consider how a Billi Tap could save you money. They are practical and versatile, offering instant boiling, chilled and sparkling water, removing the need to spend money on other appliances like water coolers, since a Billi Tap does the job of a water dispenser and a kettle, which also frees up more space and creating a less cluttered office environment.

Billi Tap water dispense options & combinations

We stock every single dispense option available in the Billi Tap range, so depending on your budget and workplace requirements, here at Wellbeing Group we have Billi system that will be a perfect addition to any office. Don’t forgot our stunning range of colours and finishes also.

Is Sparkling Water Good or Bad For You?

Firstly, what is sparkling water? The scientific name for sparkling water is carbonated water. Carbonated water is water into which carbon dioxide gas under pressure has been dissolved, either by technology or by a natural geologic source.

Carbonated water is a refreshing beverage and a good alternative to sugary soft drinks. Concerns have been raised that it may be bad for your health but if you look at the nutritional values, there is no fat, no sugar and no carbohydrates.

So why could sparkling water be bad for you?

There was a myth that drinking carbonated water is likely to erode your teeth and bone calcium but there is no evidence that it has any effect on your calcium levels.

Carbonated water does contain a very small amount of acid which can erode your tooth enamel (tooth enamel is the hard, outer surface of your teeth).  However, the acids in non-sugary drinks are so weak the damage to your teeth is minimal.  One study found that sparkling mineral water damaged enamel only slightly more than still water. Furthermore, mineral water was 100 times less damaging than a sugary soft drink.

Carbonated sugary drinks can lead to severe dental decay but plain sparkling water appears to pose very little threat to dental health.

Office Water Tap
Zip Tap G5

The Top 4 Benefits of Drinking Sparkling Water

1. Sparkling Water Keeps You Hydrated – there was myth that drinking carbonated water will dehydrate you but studies have proved that it has the same compounds as plain water.

2. Feel Full For Longer – the carbon dioxide in sparkling water allows fizzy bubbles to fill your stomach and trick your brain into feeling full, which means you will probably eat less.

3. It May Help Relieve Constipation – studies have shown that the average bowel movement increases with those who drink sparkling water compared to those who drank tap water.

4. Increase Your Productivity – our brains don’t work well if we don’t drink water.  Sparkling water is extremely refreshing and easy to drink, if we have sparkling water on tap in your office you can constantly replenish the water that your body is using.

Sparkling water is available to buy in bottles at most supermarkets, however, you could consider installing a floor standing or counter top sparkling water dispenser in your office to save using plastic and also a more cost effective solution.

The Nebraska Sport Water Dispenser

The Nebraska Sport Water Dispenser is available with a sparkling water cooler function, you can purchase or rent a water dispenser which could be plumbed in to your office so you don’t have to walk far from your desk to keep hydrated.  Our engineers will show you how to replace or change your CO2 sparkling water canister and set the regulator (this adjusts the amount of CO2 going into the water).

Tips For Staying Hydrated At Work

Why is it important to stay hydrated at work?

Keeping hydrated is vital in order for us to optimise our health and performance in everyday life and that extends to our working day. It can be so easy during a busy day to forget or not prioritise taking on fluids during regular intervals.

Taking those little moments, although you feel you may not have time at some points in your day, are definitley worth it. Studies show that dehydration will affect concentration levels, mood, clarity of thought and a huge increase in fatigue.

Hydration is crucial for your health, but it’s also crucial for success at work too. Dehydration impacts your concentration, reaction times and mood, which combined will massively impact your work. Feeling groggy, tired and irritable from dehydration will not only slow down your pace but will prevent successful team collaborations.

Here at Wellbeing Group, the home of workplace refreshment, we have put together some top tips for staying well hydrated whilst working from home. Keep yourself healthy and focussed throughout your working day, helping you perform to the best of your ability.

What are the signs that you are dehydrated?

The following symptoms signal that you could be dehydrated:

  • Feeling sleepy or fatigued
  • Feeling thirsty or hungry
  • Headaches
  • Dry mouth
  • Dark yellow or amber coloured urine
  • Struggling to focus
  • Dizziness
  • Feeling restless or irritable
Water Dispensers
Zip Tap Service

Tips on staying hydrated at work:

1) Avoid processed food

Fast food and other processed foods such as microwave meals contain excessive salt, sugar and fat compared to fresh food. Consuming excessive quantities of salt, sugar and oil speeds up the process of dehydration, so avoid fast food and opt for fresh foods instead.

2) Electrolytes

Electrolytes regulate the flow of water in and out of cells and regulate nerve impulses. We lose these essential salts in our sweat, and they are crucial to staying hydrated. If you are doing a lot of physical work consider taking electrolyte supplements to stay hydrated. Coconut water is a good natural alternative to sports drinks as a source of electrolytes.

3) Choose the right snacks

Pick a selection of fruits and vegetables high in electrolytes or with a high water content to see you through your working day. Bananas, raisins, avocados, spinach, sweet potato, coconut, beans and lentils are all high in electrolytes. Foods such as apples, pineapples, strawberries, blueberries, melon, cucumbers and celery all have a very high water content and make very hydrating snacks to keep you hydrated throughout the day.

4) Pick the right water

Avoid flavoured water with added sugars and flavourings. Sugar and other additives have a dehydrating effect on the body. If you really can’t stand the taste of water try adding flavour with a fruit infuser bottle, which gives you the option of adding natural organic flavours of your choice to your drink!

5) Drink water regularly

One glass in the morning or at lunch won’t be enough to keep you hydrated. You should take in 2- 3 litres of water a day, so keep a bottle or glass of water with you all the time and prompt yourself to keep drinking especially on hot days. Alternatively, why not try our water coolers, which provide fresh drinking water on demand.

6) Wear light or loose clothing

Avoid wearing thick, dark or tight fitting clothing that does not allow your skin to breathe and cause you to sweat more. Instead, opt for lighter and looser clothing that will allow your body to keep cool and prevent dehydration from overheating or sweating.

7) Try soups and stews for lunch

Soups and stews have a much higher water content than “dry” lunches. As well as keeping you hydrated, it is easy to make a large batch of your favourite soup or stew at the beginning of the week, and then you have your work lunches prepared for the rest of the week, saving you time!

8) Avoid alcohol

Everyone likes to let their hair down after work, but try keeping alcohol to a minimum as it can cause dehydration. The effects of this can still be felt the day after, leaving you feeling tired and groggy.

9) Keep cool

Switching on or raising the air conditioning can really help with staying hydrated at work. But why is that? Fresh or cool air will help your body maintain a healthy temperature and prevent you from overheating. It will also  reduce the loss of water through sweating. Want more tips on keeping cool?

10) Don’t wait until you’re thirsty

Thirst is actually a sign that you are already dehydrated. Keep drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day and eat fruits and vegetables with high water content to avoid becoming thirsty in the first place.

11) Hydrate yourself after exercise

If you’re hitting the gym before work, try weighing yourself before you start your workout and immediately afterwards. For every pound you’ve lost, drink an additional 500 ml of water to replace the body fluids you lost during the workout.

12) Quit Smoking, vaping and nicotine gum

Nicotine – as well as various other chemicals found in cigarettes and e-cigarettes – causes dehydration and affects your body’s ability to regulate hydration. As well as numerous other benefits to your overall health, giving up these habits will also help you stay hydrated!

13) Drink ice cold water

Help keep your core body temperature down by drinking chilled water. If your office doesn’t have a water dispenser that provides chilled water, why not recommend our Nebraska Elite Direct Chill Desktop to your employer?

14) Check Your Urine

One of the quickest and simplest indicators of how hydrated your body is your urine. If you are hydrated your urine should be fairly clear, colourless and odourless like water. The darker your urine the more dehydrated you are. If it’s dark yellow or amber in colour then replenish your water levels and guzzle down some H2O!

Which is the best Water Cooler for the office?

Which is the best Water Cooler for the office?

by | Jul 3, 2018 | Article, Water

Which is the best water cooler for an office?

At Wellbeing Group we can help you indentify which is the best water cooler for an office. Staying hydrated at work is key to being productive and staying focused.  We all know we need to drink plenty of water but in the rush of life we often forget. Having a water cooler in your office offers a quick solution to filtered cold water supply and therefore encourages employees to drink water because of its convenience.

You may have searched for water cooler providers in London or the Midlands and found there are so many options you don’t know where to start! Well, our team of experts have put together this review of water coolers to help you choose the best water cooler for your office, so read this before you buy any water dispenser to check it is the right option for you.

Knowing which is the best water cooler for an office depends entirely on your needs, requirements, number of staff and other factors. We stock commercial water dispensers from all the market leaders, including Borg & Overstrom, Billi Taps, Zip Taps, Instanta and AA Water Coolers. All have reputation for quality, reliability, value for money and being able to deliver consistent filtered water for your office.

Types of Water Coolers

There are three main types of water coolers available from suppliers in the UK; mains-fed (otherwise known as point-of-use) coolers, bottled coolers and under-counter chilled water taps.

Each of these systems have their place, below details for and against each system:

Mains-Fed Water Coolers

These water coolers plug into your mains water supply and are available in floorstanding or countertop models to suit the proposed location.

Advantages:

  • Fresh filtered water with every drink as most systems include an inline carbon filter
  • Cheap to run as you don’t have to buy the expensive water bottles
  • Better for the environment as they cut out the need for plastic
  • Endless water supply so you won’t run out of water in the hot weather
  • Look attractive and new designs of water coolers have built in waste features

Disadvantages: (actually quite hard to find any)

  • Once they are installed they can’t easily be moved without adjusting the pipework
  • They need to be installed by a professional, however, Wellbeing will take care of this for you with no extra cost

Nebraska Pro is our best-selling plumbed in water cooler as it robust as well as having a stylish design.

Office Water Cooler
Water Dispenser Servicing

Under Counter Water Coolers

Chiller units are stored under the counter and the water tap is fixed to a worktop. They are becoming more popular in the modern office as they save space and the sleek designs available.

Advantages:

  • Save space on work surfaces
  • Plumbed in which saves on water costs
  • Also available with boiling water options
  • Range of colours to match corporate branding

Disadvantages:

  • Often can be costly to purchase or lease a machine
  • More technical parts which means you need a good maintenance package

 

The Alaska Range or the Billi systems and Zip Tap systems are great under sink chillers and also available with sparkling water too!

Sparkling Water Tap
Chrome Water Tap

Bottled Water Coolers

Types of water coolers that probably first come to your mind, a white unit with a large plastic bottle on top

Advantages:

  • Usually bottles are filled with spring or mineral water
  • Quite flexible where they can be located as they only require a power socket to work

Disadvantages:

  • Don’t look great with the huge bottle on top
  • Can run up expensive water bills
  • In hot weather the consumption usefully increases and often leads to running out of water.

Useful water cooler guides 

Our website has you the customer in mind to help the decision and ordering process very simple and clear. It has very useful icons and symbols to help identify which products can dispnse different types of water but also how many office staff each system is suitable for.

For our design and fit out and facilities management customers, we have also provided a clear breakdown of each taps energy performance capabilities, dimensions and the requirements for installation, power and water supply. And of course a breakdown of purchase and lease pricing, for which we offer flexible payments plans. If there is still anything you happen to be unsure about you can still speak to our experts in a our service team to help you figure out the best water dispenser for your workplace.
