An average Belgian consumes 130 litres of bottled water each year. If you completely switch to tap water at home, this means that (for a family of 4) you consume 520 litres of tap water per year instead of bottled water. That is the equivalent of 347 bottles.

Calculation

130 litres per year * 4 persons = 520 litres per device in a house per year / 1.5 litres

An average family emits 43 kilograms of CO2 each year through its total tap water consumption. For bottled water this is 300 times as much. For each tap water cooler sold, AQUALEX thus reduces emissions by 12,900 kilograms.

An AQUALEX device supplies you with around 5,200 litres of tap water over a period of 10 years. For every 5 devices that AQUALEX sells, one truck is taken off the road. Assuming an office setting where 20 people drink tap water (good for 2,600 litres per device per year), one sold device is enough to have one less truck on our roads!

Calculation

26,208 litres of water per truck / 5,200 litres of tap water consumed per water cooler over a period of 10 years = 5 water coolers take one truck off the road
