Tap water is often met with some scepticism. Many people choose bottled water, believing it to be healthier and tastier. However, the reality is that tap water is not at all inferior to bottled water, and in some cases may even be better.
Tap water contains many valuable minerals that are essential for our health. Depending on the region, water can contain different amounts of calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and other elements. Calcium and magnesium are particularly important for bone and dental health, as well as for the proper functioning of muscles and nerves.
The quality of tap water is strictly controlled by Polish and EU regulations. Waterworks are obliged to supply water with appropriate parameters, which means that tap water must meet strict purity and safety standards. Regular testing and monitoring of water quality ensures that it is safe to drink.
Bottled water, although popular, has its drawbacks. First of all, if stored in the wrong way, it can lose its taste and quality. Plastic bottles, especially if exposed to high temperatures, can release harmful chemicals and plastic microparticles into the water. This can negatively affect the taste and health of consumers.
More and more people are opting for water dispensers, which offer convenient and safe access to fresh water. Thanks to modern technological solutions, you can enjoy both still and sparkling water straight from the tap. This is an excellent alternative to bottled water, eliminating the problem of plastic and providing constant access to healthy, mineral water.
Tap water is not only safe, but often better in terms of minerals than bottled water. Thanks to strict regulations and modern technology, we can enjoy high quality water without worrying about our health. Water dispensers are a convenient and ecological option that allows us to use water safely and comfortably. It is therefore worth considering drinking tap water as a healthier and more environmentally friendly alternative to bottled water.

Sprinklers, or public drinking water springs, play an important role in providing access to clean and safe water in public places such as parks, playgrounds, schools and town centres. As construction products, they must meet a number of specific standards and regulations in order to be legally installed and used. One of the most important requirements, apart from the PZH approval, is to have a 'B' construction mark.
User safety: Spas are often used by large numbers of people every day. To ensure that the water is safe to drink, the sprinklers must meet strict sanitary and hygienic standards. The 'B' construction mark confirms that the product has passed the appropriate quality and safety tests, protecting the health of users.
Quality and durabilityAs construction products, sprinklers must be made of materials that are resistant to weather conditions and intensive use. The 'B' mark guarantees that the sprinklers are robust, durable and will last for a long time without the need for frequent repairs or replacement.
Compliance with building regulationsThe installation of water dispensers in public areas is subject to building regulations and health legislation. Obtaining the "B" mark is proof that the sprinklers meet all the required legal standards, which is a prerequisite for their legal installation.
For users tevitabilitythat the water from such springs is safe to drink and that the springs themselves are made of materials that do not pose a health risk. The 'B' label attests to the high quality of the product, which builds users' confidence in using public springs.
For infrastructure managers Having a 'B' construction mark is essential for the legal installation of sprinklers in public places, thus avoiding legal problems and sanctions. It is also a confirmation of high quality and safe solutions for them. 'B' marked sprinklers are durable and reliable, which minimises the costs associated with maintenance and repairs.
As construction products, water sprinklers must carry the 'B' construction mark for a number of reasons relating to safety, quality and regulatory compliance. The mark certifies that high standards are met, ensuring that users are safe and have confidence in the quality of the water, and that manufacturers and infrastructure managers can legally install and operate the wells. In this way, the wells can effectively serve the community by providing access to clean and safe drinking water.

Today's municipalities and cities face the challenge of reducing plastic waste, which pollutes the environment and puts a strain on waste management systems. How municipalities and cities are promoting environmental awareness among their residents? One effective solution to this problem is the installation of drinking water outlets in public spaces. This is a simple but extremely effective tool that brings a number of benefits for both the environment and residents.
Reducing the use of plastic bottles
One of the most obvious effects of installing drinking water dispensers is a reduction in the use of disposable plastic bottles. With easy access to clean, safe drinking water, city dwellers are increasingly using their own reusable bidons. This directly translates into a reduction in the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfills or, worse, in the environment.
Promoting environmentally friendly habits
Drinking water springs in public spaces are also an important element of environmental education. By using such facilities, residents begin to take a more conscious approach to environmental issues. The use of bidons is becoming not only a practical solution, but also a symbol of ecological responsibility. As the number of people using such sources grows, so does public awareness of the plastic waste problem.
Health and financial benefits
Constant access to fresh drinking water also provides health benefits. Regular consumption of water is crucial for health, and with drinking water springs, residents are encouraged to hydrate their bodies. In addition, the use of municipal springs is free of charge, which is a saving for residents compared to buying bottled water.
Increased community involvement
Drinking water springs can become a focal point for community activities. The organisation of educational campaigns, events to promote healthy lifestyles and joint environmental initiatives gain natural support from infrastructure that fosters pro-environmental attitudes. Residents, when they see concrete environmental action, are more likely to get involved in similar projects.
The installation of drinking water dispensers in municipalities and towns is a step towards more sustainability. Promoting the use of personal water bottles and reducing the use of single-use plastic bottles are measures that have tangible environmental benefits. Thanks to such initiatives, the environmental awareness of the population also increases, which is a key element in the fight against the plastic waste problem. Working together to protect the environment becomes not only an obligation, but also a conscious choice that pays off with a healthier and cleaner environment.

In an era of increasing environmental awareness and health-consciousness, cities around the world are undertaking various initiatives to promote healthy lifestyles and protect the environment. One key element of these efforts is the installation of drinking water springs and public water dispensers. These types of solutions not only make it easier for residents to access fresh and clean water, but are also an expression of local government's concern for the health of its citizens.
Adequate hydration is the foundation of a healthy life. Water is essential for the body to function properly - it supports digestion, regulates body temperature, transports nutrients and removes toxins. Although most people are aware of the need to drink water regularly, it is not always easy, especially in the rush of daily chores.
Public water springs and dispensers are therefore becoming an invaluable support. Placed in strategic locations such as parks, squares, shopping streets or public transport stations, they allow quick and easy access to water. In this way, regardless of place and time, every resident has the opportunity to hydrate their body, which significantly improves their wellbeing and health.
Public water dispensers also have an important educational role. Their presence reminds people of the need to drink water regularly, which is particularly important in the context of promoting a healthy lifestyle. Many cities run information campaigns to encourage the use of these devices and to give up sweetened drinks, which are one of the main factors leading to obesity and other lifestyle diseases.
Apart from the health aspect, public water dispensers are also of great ecological importance. In this age of fighting plastic and reducing waste, using water from public springs is an alternative to bottled water. This simple solution helps to significantly reduce plastic waste, contributing to the protection of the environment.
The investment in public water dispensers is also an expression of the municipality's responsibility and concern for the future of its citizens. The introduction of such solutions shows that the city cares about the wellbeing of its citizens while promoting sustainable development. Examples of cities that have successfully implemented such systems show that it is an investment that brings benefits in both the short and long term.
In Warsaw, for example, public water dispensers are located in numerous public places and their number is steadily increasing. The city not only ensures regular water quality checks, but also runs educational campaigns to encourage residents to use these facilities. As a result, residents have easy access to healthy water, which has a positive impact on their daily habits and overall health.
Public drinking water spigots and water dispensers are solutions that significantly improve the quality of life of residents. They enable easy access to water, promote healthy eating habits and contribute to environmental protection. The implementation of such initiatives by cities is proof that concern for the health and well-being of citizens and care for the environment can go hand in hand, creating a sustainable and healthy future for all.

Drinking water, a fundamental resource essential to life, is increasingly becoming a central topic in discussions about public health and citizens' quality of life. In response to these issues, the European Union has adopted Directive 2020/2184, which requires member states to provide access to drinking water in public spaces. Within this directive, waterholes are cited as one of the solutions to meet this obligation.
Directive 2020/2184 is an expression of the European Union's commitment to promoting healthy lifestyles and protecting the environment. It is an important step towards guaranteeing citizens' rights to clean and accessible drinking water, wherever they are. The implementation of this directive requires cooperation between different public administrations, local authorities, as well as companies in the water sector.
One of the main solutions given in the directive are drinking water outlets. These can be public fountains, springs, drinking taps in public places, as well as bottle filling stations. Their presence in public spaces aims to provide citizens with easy access to drinking water without having to buy plastic bottles, which in turn contributes to reducing waste and promoting sustainable lifestyles.
The implementation of Directive 2020/2184 not only improves the quality of life of citizens, but also contributes to the protection of the environment. Reducing the use of plastic bottles reduces the amount of waste created by water consumption, which in turn contributes to reducing plastic pollution of our planet.
However, to ensure effective implementation of the Directive, it is necessary to take into account the diverse needs of local communities and to provide adequate financial support to institutions responsible for the provision of drinking water in public spaces. In addition, it is necessary to monitor the quality of the water supplied and to maintain appropriate sanitary standards in the places where it is made available.
The proposal of European Union Directive 2020/2184 on access to drinking water in public spaces demonstrates a commitment to promoting public health, protecting the environment and ensuring equity of access to essential resources. At the same time, it challenges Member States to work together to achieve these goals, bearing in mind the diversity and individual needs of their communities.
Our solutions are a proven way of meeting EU requirements and adapting spaces to the needs of society.

Every year on 22 April we celebrate International Earth Day, which serves as a reminder of the need to protect our planet and promotes action for sustainable development. Among the most pressing environmental challenges we currently face, the issue of plastic waste features prominently. Reducing the use of plastic and promoting alternatives is crucial for the future of our planet.
Plastic is ubiquitous in our daily lives, from food packaging to consumer products. Unfortunately, its persistence makes it one of the most serious threats to the environment. Plastic waste pollutes our oceans, forests and rural areas, negatively affecting the health of humans, animals and ecosystems.
Therefore, on a day that is dedicated to the Earth, it is worth considering what actions we can take to reduce the negative impact of plastic on our planet. One key step is to reduce the use of single-use plastic products. Bottles, bags, packaging, straws - these are just some of the products that can be replaced with greener alternatives.
As the years go by, there is a growing public awareness of the problem of plastic waste, leading to more and more action being taken to reduce it. Educational campaigns, bans on single-use plastic, the development of technologies that enable recycling and innovations in replacing plastic with biodegradable materials are just some of the steps being taken around the world.
It is worth emphasising that everyone can contribute to the fight against plastic. Everyday habits such as avoiding single-use plastic products in favour of reusable ones, separating waste or supporting local initiatives to protect the environment can have a significant impact on reducing the amount of plastic entering the environment.
International Earth Day is an excellent opportunity to reflect on our impact on the planet and to take concrete action to protect it. The fight against plastic is one of the key aspects of this concern. By acting together, we can help create a more sustainable future for our planet and future generations.

Bottled water, often regarded as a symbol of purity and health, is becoming increasingly exposed to contaminants, including microplastics. While this may seem paradoxical, research shows that microplastic is not foreign even in bottled water, undermining our trust in this source of hydration. To make matters worse, there is evidence that chemicals in microplastic can seep into water, increasing public health concerns.
The presence of microplastics in bottled water can have various sources. One of the main ones is the production process, where microplastic can enter the water during packaging. In addition, contamination can occur during bottle transport or storage in conditions that favour plastic decomposition. Even the label on the bottle can be a source of microplastic if it is made of this material.
Research suggests that microplastic contained in bottled water can have negative health effects. As with other water sources, there is a risk of ingesting microplastic by drinking bottled water, which can lead to its accumulation in the body. Furthermore, chemicals used in the production of plastic, such as phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA), can be released into the water, creating additional health risks.
To reduce the presence of microplastics in bottled water, strict regulations are needed to govern the production, packaging and transport process. Bottled water companies should also invest in filtration technologies that can help remove microplastics from water. In addition, consumers should be aware of the problem and pay attention to the quality of bottled water and the materials used to produce the bottles.
An alternative to bottled water is the use of bottleless water dispensers, which can be further equipped with filtration systems to remove contaminants, including microplastics. In addition, reducing the use of plastic bottles by using reusable bottles or glass bottles can also help to reduce the microplastic problem.
Microplastics in bottled water pose a serious public health risk that requires immediate action. Both bottled water companies and consumers must work together to reduce the presence of microplastic and chemicals in water, thereby protecting health and the environment. Ultimately, consumer education and awareness are key to changing consumer practices and reducing the impact of microplastics on our lives and the environment.

In today's society, more and more attention is being paid to accessibility and facilities for people with disabilities. One of the key elements of daily activity is access to water, both for drinking and personal hygiene. It is therefore important that water sprinklers and dispensers are adapted to the needs of people with different types of disabilities, which can significantly improve their quality of life.
The first major reason for choosing specially adapted water dispensers for people with disabilities is for easier access. People in wheelchairs or with other mobility restrictions may find it difficult to use traditional water dispensers or dispensers. Specially designed dispensers have bowls and pourers as well as activation buttons positioned at an appropriate height for easy access by people who are seated.
Secondly, water sprinklers and dispensers adapted to the needs of people with disabilities are often designed with user safety in mind. They reduce the risk of falls or misunderstandings associated with operating traditional devices. Appropriately placed buttons requiring minimal pressure can be easier to operate for people with limited strength or mobility.
It is also worth paying attention to several important factors when choosing water sprinklers and dispensers for people with disabilities. Firstly, it is important to thoroughly familiarise yourself with local regulations and standards regarding accessibility for people with disabilities in order to select devices that meet the relevant requirements. It is also important to take into account the different types of disabilities and the individual needs of users in order to make the devices as universal as possible.
Another important factor is the quality and durability of the equipment. Water sprinklers and dispensers should be robustly made, easy to maintain and resistant to damage and weathering if they are intended for outdoor use. It is also worth paying attention to the ease of installation and maintenance to ensure long-lasting and trouble-free operation of the equipment.
In conclusion, by choosing water sprinklers and dispensers adapted to the needs of people with disabilities, we are not only improving their daily lives, but also contributing to a more accessible society. It is therefore worth taking the time to carefully review the different options and choose the devices that best meet the needs of all users.

From the beginning of 2024, the controversial, but necessary, Plastics Directive came into force in the European Union. The new legislation aims to reduce the harmful effects of plastic on the environment by eliminating single-use plastic products (SUP - Single-Use Plastics) and introducing strict requirements for recycling and minimising plastic consumption.
The Plastics Directive was adopted by the European Parliament in 2019 as part of the EU's broader strategy for a circular economy and the fight against climate change. Its full implementation from January 2024 is a milestone in achieving these goals.
The main objective of the directive is to reduce single-use plastic products, which are increasingly polluting our beaches, oceans and natural areas. Products such as straws, cutlery, plates and ear buds are only a small part of the huge problem of plastic pollution. However, their widespread use and rapid decomposition time make them particularly harmful to the environment.
Under the new regulations, manufacturers and distributors have been obliged to reduce the use of single-use plastic products and ensure that they are replaced by more environmentally friendly alternatives. This forces companies to innovate in packaging and products, promoting the development of alternatives such as biodegradable or reusable packaging.
However, the introduction of the Plastics Directive is not limited to a ban on single-use products. The legislation also includes strict requirements for collecting, separating and recycling plastic. Member countries are required to develop waste management systems that promote recycling and reduce the amount of plastic going to landfill.
The implementation of these regulations is not without its challenges. Companies need to adapt their production and sourcing processes and consumers need to embrace changes in their purchasing habits. However, the positive impact of these measures on our environment is undeniable.
The Plastics Directive symbolises the European Union's commitment to combating plastic pollution and contributes to the global discussion on sustainability. The implementation of this legislation is a step towards more responsible consumption and protecting our planet for future generations.
