Springs

School springs, i.e. drinking water dispensers installed in educational institutions, play a key role in promoting a healthy lifestyle among children and adolescents. Regular water consumption is essential for the proper functioning of the body, and access to clean, safe drinking water in schools helps maintain adequate hydration levels among students. Why is it so important?

Health benefits for children 

1. Better concentration and mental performance 
   Water is essential for the proper functioning of the brain. Hydration affects concentration, cognitive abilities and memory. Children who drink water regularly are more focused and perform better in school.
2. Supporting a healthy lifestyle
   Access to drinking water sources in schools encourages children to choose water instead of sweetened carbonated drinks, which are harmful to health. Drinking water regularly helps maintain a healthy weight and prevents obesity.
3. Improving your overall health

The role of microbiological tests

Regular microbiological and physico-chemical tests are crucial to ensure that the water in the springs is safe to drink. The Mikrolab laboratory conducts such research, measuring, among others: the total number of microorganisms and the presence of harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli. Control of physico-chemical parameters, such as pH, general hardness, color, taste and smell, also guarantees the highest water quality.

Legal requirements

School springs must meet stringent legal requirements regarding the quality of drinking water. In accordance with applicable regulations, water must be regularly tested and controlled to ensure its safety for users. Mikrolab offers comprehensive services in the field of water quality monitoring and certification, in accordance with applicable norms and standards.

Who is our offer addressed to?

Our offer is addressed to:

• Educational institutions such as kindergartens, primary schools, middle schools and high schools.
• Managers of public buildings such as offices, libraries and parks.
• All institutions that want to promote a healthy lifestyle by providing access to safe and clean drinking water.

Education and awareness

Installing springs in schools is also a great opportunity to educate students about the importance of hydration and a healthy lifestyle. In this way, children learn about the benefits of drinking water and why they should avoid sweetened drinks.

Impact on the environment

Reducing the production of plastic waste in the form of bottles that are used to store water reduces the demand for raw materials used to produce bottles. Providing drinking water through springs also contributes to lower consumption of energy and natural raw materials needed for the production of packaging.

To sum up…

Sources in schools are an investment in children's health and future. They provide easy access to clean, healthy water, promoting healthy eating habits and improving students' overall health. Regular testing of water quality ensures it is safe to drink, which is crucial to maintaining children's health and well-being. Water is the basis, and school springs help promote its regular consumption among the youngest.
