Quench is ridding the world of bottled water

Quench, is a green company that offers bottleless, filtration enabled water coolers, that are both health and cost effective, in comparison to traditional office bottled water coolers. Most importantly, they are dedicated to ridding the world of bottled water!

If  you would be interested in getting involved with the greater goal, of ridding the world of bottled water, Quench would love to be of service to you or your company.

Quench means bottled water doesn’t make sense

In today’s world, bottled water no longer makes sense.  It’s more expensive, harmful to the environment, and your health, and is no healthier or ‘purer’ than filtered tap water. Yet, many offices, schools, and administrations are still using bottled water coolers.  Why? Because, they are unaware of the alternatives.  Using Point-Of-Use, or POU, installation, bottleless water coolers can be installed directly into existing water lines without significant disruption, for a significantly lower cost.

It’s a Quench guarantee, that any of their wide variety of coolers can be installed, as long as, there is a water line within a few hundred feet. Installation is as simple as a certified, insured, and highly-trained service professional.  They will install the bottleless, or POU, water cooler in an efficient and timely manner, hiding all water lines, so there are no eye sores. Usually, installation is even completed in under an hour.

Quench, is the largest bottleless water cooler company in North America, serving organizations in virtually every type of industry.  Currently, Quench has over 25,000 customers, including a third of the Fortune 100 companies.  Specific customers and companies are diverse.  Companies as large as GE, FedEx, and Best Buy, as well as, schools and universities like American University, Cornell University, and the University of Pennsylvania are now Quench users.  For testimonials, visit the Quench Water YouTube page for more information.

Quench is saving water and trees

Since Quench’s founding, the elimination of bottled water coolers, has been the equivalent of planting over 4 million trees, saving over 200,000,000 gallons of water, and 10,200,000 kWh of electricity. That’s  just from the quantity of greenhouse gases kept out of the atmosphere. Quench coolers, cut energy use by 65%, compared to regular bottled water coolers, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 98%, by eliminating the need to manufacture, bottle, store and distribute bottled water. At Quench, they are dedicated to making green and sustainable office solutions easy.  Consider switching your office to a bottleless water cooler today.

Still worried about making the wrong decision? Don’t worry. Quench has a number of options for water dispenser rentals. Whether you’re looking for a low price or flexibility in your commitment, Quench professionals can work to satisfy your needs.  Unlike some companies who fool you with a deceptively low monthly invoice, and then charge heavily for maintenance, Quench has no hidden costs. Quench charges one, low, competitive, flat monthly rate.  No matter what. That means no charges for maintenance or filter changes.

So, drink away with an endless supply of water. Call Quench today at 1-877-699-2937 or visit their website for more information.

Everlasting Hardwoods, and Overseas Hardwoods Company (OHC), have been importing high performance lumber products for over 42 years. Through out the years, they have accomplished a well-earned reputation for excellent customer service.   Founded in 1967,by Lee Robinson, SR., the company specialized in Apitong/Keruing for flatbed truck decking.  Mr. Robinson, began in those early days, by  importing Hardwoods from Southeast Asia.  He had, produced truck flooring at his previous company, Mobile River Sawmill using Red Oak, White Oak, Hickory, Pecan, Beech, and Ash.
