When water runs out...

A report published this month on global water resources makes for bleak reading. We already have a shortfall: 1.1 billion people do not have access to clean water and in 20 years, water demand will be 40% higher than it is today. Augmenting existing supplies will not be sufficient, instead we need to focus on reducing the water-intensity of the economy. Drought-resistent crops should help to reduce water demand in agriculture that uses around 70% of supplies today.
Reducing industrial and domestic demand will assist water management to a lesser extent. But questions do need to be asked about whether we need clean water for swimming pools and washing the car when we cannot supply people with drinking water...

Water shortages in Harare, Zimbabwe are raising fears of a new cholera outbreak after electric power failures that are affecting the water treatment system. Residents in some suburbs without running water for a week are being forced to draw water from shallow wells.

It's not just in the developing world that there is a shortage of water; California has been troubled by shortages for decades. This summer and autumn, the water main breakages have been unprecedented, especially in Los Angeles. It now appears that an unusually full reservoir put too much pressure on the old corroding cast-iron water pipes serving the city. However, Southern California may be getting a major new source of fresh water: a massive sea-water desalination plant is being proposed at Carlsbad, next to the Encina power station, to produce enough water annually for 100,000 households in San Diego County. The cost of the project? Around £200 million in subsidies and £300 million in bonds. So it's easy to see why water conservation is cheaper than producing alternative water sources.

Water is fast moving up the political agenda in the US as more states struggle to deal with dwindling supplies and increasing demand. A quarter of the state of Texas is currently in some stage of drought: state officials are attempting to implement a raft of programmes to provide drought-proof water supplies that will provide water to residents, industry, agriculture and allow the power plants to keep running.

Drought is a frequent visitor to Australia. Unfortunately, Docker River township in the Northern Territory has another visitor as a result: a herd of 6000 feral camels is laying siege to the remote town, smashing water mains, water tanks, fences and approaching houses as they seek to relieve their thirst. The camels have also blocked the airstrip preventing medical evacuations and as more converge there daily, they are contaminating what water supplies are left. The local council is now looking to cull the animals in an attempt to regain control as residents are too scared to venture outdoors. Australia is home to the largest herd of feral camels in the world, around a million animals that have few natural predators and are also threatening fragile desert ecosystems. Lets hope they don't all decide to head for Docker River...

For a taste that's out of this world: moon water may one day be on tap

So the Man in the Moon has water to wash down his cheese...

After the damp squib of the moon-crash on 9th October, the data have now been more closely examined and there is water on the moon. Water exists within the permanently-shadowed lunar craters of the southern pole and the deliberate crash kicked up ~100kg of ice and vapour within the mile-high plume of debris. Whilst that won't satisfy the thirst of a team of astronauts, let alone the population of of a permanent lunar outpost, it does indicate that there may be reserves at the southern pole that can be plumbed for human use. There's no evidence of whether it would be drinkable, so we won't be holding our breath for "Moon Water" appearing in our Supermarkets just yet. It might be combined with contaminants that require complex purifcation systems to release the water - it's unlikely that simple filtration will do the job.

Whilst still in office, George W. Bush had wanted a $100billion+ plan to return to the moon that would then stretch on to Mars. Barak Obama is hedging his bets: appointing a special panel of experts to examine the entire moon exploration programme. In September, tiny amounts of water were found in the lunar soil all over the surface of the moon. However, the October 9th mission is a strong confirmation that may help tip the balance of Obama's decision-making process.

Whilst waiting for your trip to the moon, you can visit Just Water Now's website at www.juswaternow.com for our range of water-filtration products that will make your tap water taste out of this world!

Space, the final frontier? or just a new low...

Last month, water conservation reached the final frontier. Billionaire Guy Laliberte, the founder of the Cirque du Soliel, broadcast to the world from the International Space Station via a satellite video link to promote clean drinking water. "Everytime I look down at this fantastic planet... it looks so fragile," he said. He also tried to gulp down a drop of water floating in the zero-gravity atmosphere of the ISS where urine is recycled into drinking water, a technology that may someday be necessary down here on terra firma to overcome the water crisis that experts predict will strike in the next 25-50 years.

"All for water, water for all," was Laliberte's cry. Clowning around with water it may be: the cost of his trip was $35 million, and some critics suggested that the money would have been better spent digging wells in Africa. Laliberte's broadcasts were linked to a 2-hour 14-city worldwide extravaganza here on Earth with celebrity guests that included Al Gore, Bono, Peter Gabriel. This certainly highlights water conservation issues in a new way.

In a related water-in-Space topic, NASA crashed a rocket into the Moon's south pole hoping to find water in the impact debris. Spectacular idea - just the photos were a bit boring. The point of it all? If we want to colonise the Moon or other planet, we need drinking water - and not just recycled from our pee. Water would also have other uses, as a radiation shield (!) and when broken down into its constituents, hydrogen and oxygen, for humans to breathe and use for energy: fuel cells and rocket propellant. There have also been tell-tale signs of water on Mars - the Red Planet has long been a favorite of Sci-Fi enthusiasts for a colonisation. Not so much little green men as little green chips of ice in craters...

The European Space Agency is to launch a new satellite (how many are up there??) to follow the Earth's water cycle and its constant flux. Yawn? Maybe not. It is to characterise global changes in soil moisture as well as the salinity of seawater - yep, it will track the drinkable water that we need, leading to improvements in climate models. In turn, these will help water management programmes focused on agricultural and drinking water activities.

In another water-related stunt last month, the Maldives Government 'sank to a new low'. The president and his ministers donned wetsuits and scuba gear, used sign language and waterproof documents to conduct affairs of state for 1/2 hour on the sea floor, 20ft beneath the waves. Rising sea levels threathen to submerge the Maldives in the Indian Ocean within a century, robbing celebrities and other monied tourists of a favoured vacation spot...not to mention the locals' homes.

Bottled water banned in Australian town

A small New South Wales town has banned the sale of bottled water - the first in the world? Bundanoon residents voted 3 months ago for the ban and now have properly implemented it. Chilled filtered water dispensers can be found around the town and bottles of still water have been replaced in shops by reusable containers. Consumers can buy the bottles and refill them from the store or at a streetside drinking fountain.

Why has Bundanoon gone this far? Cost is one reason given, but it seems that the environmental impact of manufacture, transport and disposal of bottled water was unjustified especially when a bottling company decided they wanted to extract water from the local area, truck it to Sydney, bottle it and then redistribute it back to the Bundanoon area! Locals are delighted and shopkeepers relieved that the publicity has boosted sales of the "Bundy on tap"-labelled containers so that they are not missing out on valuable revenue.

At the same time, the Murray River in South Australia has saline levels approaching dangerous proportions for use as drinking water.
Receding water levels in the river and Lakes Alexandrina and Albert appear responsible for the rise in salinity. Emergency plans have also been prepared for the distribution of free bottled water to the 30,000 residents of South Australian towns who could be affected. Each resident would require 4 litres of drinking water per day. If the water remains unacceptably salty for more than a week, water would be tankered in. The nearby city of Adelaide is also in the firing line - the city of possibly only one year away from depletion of its reservoirs - that's around 1.3 million residents affected.


Here in the UK, we are not in such dire straits but we need to heed the warnings from the drier parts of the world. To this end, the Government has just launched a £1 million campaign to promote household water saving. We are being encouraged to reduce our average water use from 150 litres per day to 130 litres a day. Southerners the worst offenders - all those power showers, sprinklers, swimming pools and hot tubs apparently...

London is set to install water fountains in Hammersmith Bus Station and Tower Bridge Museum so that the 400,000 visitors who pass through these sites each year can fill bottles with up to 500ml chilled water for 20p. More fountains across the city are to come if the pilot proves a success. So it appears that Thames Water is going to help London Mayor Boris Johnson to fulfil his pledge of green alternatives to bottled water throughout the city; the Mayor has only managed one water fountain to date - in Hyde Park last week!
All nicely in time for the 2012 Olympics that organisers want to present as the Green Olympics.

'Please Do Not Hesitate to Contact Me'

Quality of water and quality of service
In an age of unparalleled communication, disatisfied customers can really get their complaint out where it can receive alot of attention. With email, Twitter, Blogs and so on, the ripples in the water can rapidly become a tidal wave of opinion. The recent blog titled as above about a particular water cooler company has been so widely circulated, it has become a major source of embarrassment and unfortunately can unfairly taint all companies in the same industry.

The water cooler industry has been hard-hit by the recession, as customers turned away from bottled
water and went back to tap water. The bottle-fed cooler has been designated a 'luxury' and so has been a particular victim of cost-cutting exercises. Mains-fed water coolers have not suffered so much, but new business was slow for most of the year. The positive signs of economic upturn in the UK will generate new business for the industry, but bad publicity lingers for long afterwards. A reputation for good/bad customer service is going to affect business. A good point to make here regarding a key difference between bottle-fed coolers and main-fed systems is: mains-fed coolers require far less maintenance than bottle-fed coolers and of course no deliveries. There is therefore less reliance on the supplier and less pressure on the fewer business operations required, so hopefully less opportunity for customer service to go awry.

Most businesses wouldn't operate without customers and even the best of organisations can get it wrong occassionally. So providing customers with a prompt and effective service is essential. But how to stand out from the crowd? How can a business prove that its customer service is superior? Or even that it has a functioning service that can deal with problems?

At Just Water Now, we have taken a pro-active approach to quality: we do care and do strive to improve every aspect of our services, not just complaints. How? By developing our Quality Management Policy and then putting in place systems that effectively monitor and improve quality throughout all our business operations. The whole process is under constant review to ensure that our operations actually match our policy! Every one of our operations is reported on and additional spot-checks are made from time to time. The two sets of data are then regularly audited and the results discussed at team meetings. We have found that this is the only way forward for improvement to be quantified rather than just guessed at. Customer feedback is essential for our policy to function and maintain our standards. We appreciate all feedback, both positive and negative, and we remain proactive in soliciting opinion on our service through our questionnaires and occassional follow-up phone calls. It's all a delicate balancing act, but essential to keep our customers and staff happy.

Are YOU taking up the Volvic 14-day Challenge?

This year, the makers of Volvic bottled water launched the 14-day challenge to encourage people to drink water to hydrate their bodies and minds.

By drinking 1.5L a day of Volvic, will you feel better?

Yes! Of course you would - it's the classic start of a detox diet, the path to better digestion and clearer skin.

A great idea, but a cynic might just see it as a ploy to shift more bottles of water at a time when 'luxuries' are still being cut back to help people manage during the recession.

Really, any water will do to improve health and well-being: bottled water or tap water. Cost and convenience are the key drivers to what people will drink. So the choice is yours...

Visit www.justwaternow.com to look at your options for filtering tap water and save on those plastic bottles.

Tap Water - Beware of Expensive Imitations!

Earlier this year, a case came to court regarding the Bleinheim Palace mineral water identity crisis in 2007. A large number of complaints were made about the quality of the water and investigations discovered that a bottling plant in Wales was using tap water or its local spring water to fill the bottles. With fines of £3,000 and court costs of ~£100,000, the bottling company and owner have paid a hefty price for their activities and the water industry practises are again called into question.

Is this an isolated case? Definitely not, some companies including hotels and restaurants do decant their own tap water into labelled bottles - and I don't mean their own labels! It's a cheaper, more ascetic option, but its not right and it's not in the best interests of their customers and staff.

Is that glass of tap water becoming more attractive again? It's always FREE...

Out tap water is among the safest in the world - the chlorine in it helps make it so, it just doesn't taste great and we've been persuaded that 'bottled is best'. There is less legislation covering the bottling of water, and precious little regarding storage and safe usage, compared to the preparation and distribution of our mains water. Bottled mineral water and spring water tastes better because there's no chlorine - but it doesn't mean it is safer to drink and improper distribution/storage can seriously compromise its suitability for our consumption.

Bottled water is at least 1000x more expensive than what we pay for our tap water. A recent survey of supermarket prices of bottles of still water from single buys to multi-buys of 330ml to 10L sizes revealed that the average cost is 58p per Litre (13May 2009, Sainsbury's and Ocado on-line shopping).

58p per Litre for bottled water is not bad on the face of it - cheaper than wine, beer and many soft drinks - but it's water, that most essential requirement for life that we are buying. The 14-Day Volvic Challenge has the right idea that we should drink more plain water, but costs are going to mount up if its done with bottles...

The recommended daily allowance is 1.5L drinking water per person (540L per year). So this accumulates to £313 per year (87p per day).

But how to cut costs and make tap water taste better?
Filtration is the answer...

Filter jugs may only cost £19.95 to buy, but filter capacities of 100L and replacement filters costing £3.99 mean that 540L costs £107 to produce (29p per day).

Filter kettles cost £59.95 to buy, filter capacities of only 50L at £4.99 per filter, mean that 540L costs £113 per year (30p per day).

The Just Water Now Unit Filter costs just £75.00 to purchase, with filters lasting 6000L and replaced every 6 months at £7.50, so in year 1 it costs £82.50 (22p per day). After the first year, it costs only 2 filters: so year 2 onwards £15.00 per year (4p per day). No mess, no fuss, no remembering to get new filters - Just Water Now sends out email reminders so you don't have to.

So looking at it per person, there's not a lot between the differing filtration methods. However families of 4 or more the costs mount up as they require over 2000L per year:



The JWN Unit Filter will provide enough drinking water for a family of 22 each year and certainly enough drinking, cooking and washing-up water for a family of 8.

Looking to make savings on your shoppong bill, but not compromise your lifestyle? The Just Water Now Unit Filter is the easiest, most eco-friendly and safest method of achieving this when it comes to water.

Figuring The Facts About Water


If around 97% of the Earth's water is salty or otherwise undrinkable, and another 2% is stored in the ice caps and glaciers, that leaves only 1% for we greedy humans to use. So it's hardly surprising that around 25% of the world's population doesn't have access to safe drinking water.


What about our water here in the UK?

Our mains water supply is stored and treated for us, providing us with some of the
safest drinking water in the world. Amazingly, we only use about 1% of this supply for drinking and cooking - the rest is for bathing and toilet flushing, laundry, cleaning the car or watering the garden.


We care so much about what we drink that we buy bottles of water from the supermarket for home, while at work we have bottle-fed coolers. The water purchased in these ways costs approximately 1000x MORE than the same volume delivered to us through the mains water supply by the water authorities!


But what water actually goes into those bottles we purchase?

Well if the bottle isn't clearly labelled "mineral water" or "spring water", then it probably actually contains tap water that's filtered prior to bottling. Filtered tap water is perfectly fine - most of the chlorine taste and odour have been removed with an activated carbon filter. And it's the chlorine taste that is the predominant reason why people reject tap water in favour of bottled water - a premise that the entire bottled water industry established itself in the 1980's and 1990's when we were all being flash with our cash and very naive about the adverse effects of bottled water on the environment.

Activated Carbon is a wonderful filter, handling many chemicals found in water and a wide range of chemicals that should NEVER be present in the main water supply. At the end of its life, it is 100% biodegradable (unless coated in plastic or some other material); the carbon filter blocks sold by Just Water Now Ltd for their cold-water filtration systems and water coolers are just carbon (no coatings) so is 100% bio-degradable - beware of expensive, non-biodegradable substitutes!

In addition to removing ~98% chlorine taste and odour, the Just Water Now carbon filter will also remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs), organic impurities including insecticides, pesticides and herbicides as well as particulate matter. But don't panic these chemicals (apart from chlorine) are not necessarily found in our tap water, it's more that activated carbon will remove under test. How does it do this? The chemicals are adsorbed onto the carbon surface (they get stuck to the carbon as the water passes through the pores of the block) and large particles are physically trapped as they try to pass through the smaller pores. Thus the crud you might have seen swirling in your glass of tap water is now kept back in the filter not in your glass.

Food for thought...or is that drink for thought? Maybe not - I'm assured that beer is best for thinking...but did you know that water quality, both purity and hardness, is an important factor in the ultimate quality of the pint? So all those home-brewers out there need to consider whether the chlorine and impurities found in tap water is the ideal starting ingredient for their endeavours. If chlorine makes a glass of water taste yuck, and a cup of tea taste somewhat yuck, then surely something as sensitive as a pint of beer needs to be chlorine-free to really taste good.

Wine-making is another home pastime that might possibly benefit from chlorine-free water. In the world of fine wines, do connoisseurs ever say they can taste the chlorine? I've certainly heard them on the TV talking about oak, apple, pepper, vinegar and paint-stripper...

Whilst I'm writing about beverages, what do people who buy organic fruit and veg. or grow their own, do to rinse them off before eating/
cooking? If they just rinse them under the kitchen tap, then great! that's all nicely chlorinated now ready for eating - Just Water Now's Unit Filter would at least make sure that your expensive organic choice (or thrify grow-your-own and know where it's been) is then getting the final "green" treatment prior to eating. And moving onto my greatest pleasures in life - home-baking and chocolate. Filtered tap water means no cruddy "bits" in the water (nor chlorine nor chemicals) that goes into the recipe - so that cake, biscuit, bread may turn out tastier and lighter and your chocolate even yummier and greener.

Something Fishy To Think About?

I found out something today about keeping fish.

Fish are supposed to be very therapeutic as they swim gently around their tank, gliding in and out of ruined towers, over
and under bridges and through the forests of weed...

Sounds great, but the death rate can run quite high and that can't be fun for your kids or your pocket.
So what are the killers in the tank?
  • Cannibalism (nice!)
  • Infection (bacteria, fungal, you name they can get it...)
  • Over-feeding with the sprinkle food (just a pinch is all they need!)
  • Other reasons include Poisoning from the water itself.
Yes, funnily enough it can be the water that's killing off your little fishies.

Here's the science bit:

Chlorine in your tap water can be harmful to your fish. Chlorine is put into the mains water supply at the water treatment works as a disinfectant so our drinking water is free from harmful organisms. As a result of chlorinated tap water, we no longer get cholera and other water-borne diseases. Whilst the chlorine in drinking water isn't harmful to us (it just doesn't taste great), it can actually be harmful to fish and other aquatic creatures. So you need to remove the chlorine before adding any water to your fish tank, or even your fish pond.

Here's the marketing bit:
Just Water Now sells a great-value DIY kit to filter your tap water.

The JWN Unit Filter:
  • Costs only £75.00 to buy
  • Fits through your existing kitchen tap (or to a Triflo tap)
  • Any vaguely-competant DIY-er can install it themselves following the step-by-step instructions (or our installers will come to your house if you prefer)
  • The carbon filter block removes ~98% of chlorine taste and odour (so the water tastes great and is safe for fishies)
  • The carbon filter also removes volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chlorinate hydrocarbons, other organic impurities and particulate matter found in drinking water (the cruddy bits sometimes seen swirling around your glass)
  • The carbon filter lasts 6 months or 6,000 Litres (and costs only £7.50 to replace)
  • The carbon filter is 100% biodegradable - crumble it into your compost or use it for fuel on your BBQ!
  • We send you an email reminder when the filter change is due (very easy to do) and we'll post the new filter out to you
So for £15.00 a year, you can drink all you want from your kitchen tap and your pets will prefer it - not just your fish, but your dogs, cats and furry friends will all prefer the chlorine-free water from your tap.

The proof? My mutts always preferred to drink the rain-water (or ice) from puddles or out of the flowerpots in the garden rather than their drinking bowl. I never really thought about it until I installed my JWN Unit Filter at home and changed the water in their bowl. Rufus came to have a look, tasted the water and immediately tanked down half the bowl! Chloe then pushed past him and finished it off, so now my fussy pooches love their water bowl. My morning cuppa tastes infinitely better now too...

So visit www.justwaternow.com to see more of our products and services or email us at enquiries@justwaternow.com to order your JWN Unit Filter today and improve your pets' health and well-being today.

A picture paints a thousand words: POU saves a thousand pounds

We can talk until we are blue in the face (or write until the text turns blue!) about how bottled water is an unnecessary expense, but here is the truth in a picture:

JWN product is a POU (Point-of-Use) water cooler or POU water fountain supplied and installed by Just Water Now (buy it at the beginning and then only have to pay for servicing after that).
POU rental is the cost of renting a POU cooler for a year, rather than buying it - you're paying for rent and servicing. Is it worth your while?
1, 2 or 4 Bottles per week is the cost of having to buy that number of those huge plastic bottles for bottle-fed water coolers every week for a year. Then there is rental of the cooler itself and servicing on top (4 times a year rather than twice a year for POU). Did you know a bottle should be changed when it's been open for a week? Did you know that the water in these bottles has a shelf-life? Mains water doesn't...

The average lifetime of a POU cooler or fountain is 10 years if it is cared for and serviced properly. So what is the TOTAL accumulative cost over 5 years or 10 years?
Lets look at another picture...



Why pay twice for your water - bottled and mains supply? Why not filter your main supply to remove the chlorine taste and odour as well as the particles and organic impurities sometimes present? Food for thought...

Why don't you find out today how to turn an expensive overhead into a tangible asset?

Visit www.justwaternow.com for more details of Just Water Now Ltd products and services for homes and businesses or email marie-louise@justwaternow.com if you have a specific enquiry. We look forward to hearing from you.

"Some like it hot"

"Some like it hot" is a classic film comedy by the great Billy Wilder starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. I've seen it many times over the years and it's always guaranteed to raise a smile and a laugh. Stella Artois screened it at Inverleith Park in Edinburgh back in the 1990s and it was a magical evening enjoyed with friends, wine and chips sitting on a rug.

Why all the nostalgia for a film made long before I was born? Well, at Just Water Now we have found some really do like it hot - their filtered water that is...


Our steaming hot taps provide instant filtered hot water that makes the perfect hot drink, even a cup of tea. All without having to wait for the kettle to boil (and some sneaky work colleague or house-mate emptying the kettle whilst your back is turned). Kettles make (unnecessary) clutter on the worktop and also use a lot of energy each cycle. They are just about the most dangerous item in a kitchen:
  • Scalding accidents happen easily by touching the outside of the non-insulated hot kettle, spills of hot liquid or knocking a full kettle
  • The kettle still has to be picked up to decant the boiling liquid
  • Even the so-called "cordless" variety still need to be plugged into the wall, so that the flex is simply waiting to be caught
  • They need to be emptied regularly and cleaned to prevent bacteria growth

The Just Water Now range of hot taps are safe, eco-friendly and the working parts are tucked away neatly under the kitchen sink so all that's on show is a stylish tap.

Why are
hot taps safer than kettles?
  • The insulated neck and spout may become warm to the touch but will never get hot enough for discomfort or scald. The tap lever/knob is designed to switch off the minute it is released and is child-proofed.
  • The parts below the sink are also insulated and there is a venting feature to prevent pressure building up above safe levels.
  • Some units also dispense water as a fine mist to prevent scalding by splashes while others dispense a thin low-pressure stream to reduce splashback. This is an advantage for people with arthritis or an injury who find lifting a kettle difficult.
Why are hot taps greener than kettles?
  • Simply put, they use less energy to provide far larger amounts of water around the clock.
  • The average kettle produces 2500-3000W per boiling cycle - irrespective of how much water is in it - and the more water, the more power used.
  • Our hot taps can operate for less than the cost of running a 40W lightbulb, dispensing 100 cups of boiling filtered water every hour.
  • Standby power consumption is very low, around 10W and boiling water requires as little as 1300W. Oh yes, and their long manufacturers' warranties indicate their long-life.

How do these appliances provide instant hot water?

The water is drawn off the main cold supply from under the kitchen sink (via a junction in the pipe) and enters the unit under the sink. There the water is filtered then boiled and stored in a pressurised, stainless-steel container and so that
less energy is required to produce the end product. The steaming hot filtered water is dispensed through a dedicated tap sited on the worktop over the sink. The tank capacity range includes 2.5L, 3L, 7L and 11L, catering for every domestic and commercial circumstance from smaller households to even the busiest of restaurants and yet they are more energy-efficient than traditional kettles and urns!

What maintenance is required?

The filters last from 6 months to as long as 5 years (depends on the make and model) and are recycled by returning to Just Water Now. There is no other maintenance required, they have long warranties and once fitted, you'll wonder how you ever endured a kettle for so many years!


There are variety of tank sizes to suit you, but as these are tucked neatly out of sight under the worktop, you may be more interested to know that there a a good range of stylish modern taps to complement your existing sink tap.
  • Planning a new kitchen? No problem, simply include a hot tap in your design and get the extra hole for the dedicated tap pre-drilled into your stone worktop when it is made.
  • Got an existing kitchen? Again, no problem as we can retrofit these units: virtually any worktop can be drilled to accommodate the dedicated tap, though stone worktops like granite and Corian need a specialist to make the hole - that Just Water Now will arrange for you and will incur an additional charge - but it will be worth it!

So why not call Just Water Now today on 01435 872 184 and arrange for a free, no-obligation survey. We will listen to all your needs and advise you on the best appliance for your situation.
