How much fluid do I need?

Water loss needs to be replaced! Experts say we need to drink six to eight glasses of at least 150ml each a day – if you are physically active or exposed to warm and hot conditions, you will have to alter your consumption accordingly. (Medical Information supplied by Deakin University

Run Your Body on Water!

Look your best! prevent dehydration, classic signs of dehydration include dry cracked lips, flushed skin, slow responses, weakness, nausea and headaches - just like a hangover, these are some of the symptoms that can occur when the water content of the body is too low.

Replenish your fluids

Water loss in mature adults is about 2.5 – 3 litres per day. The elderly lose less with about 2litres. Hot weather, active lifestyles, exercise and partying could all contribute to greater loss.

Water content in food…

With a balanced diet the body obtains up to half its water needs from the food you consume alone. The digestion process also contributes as it produces water as a bi-product.

Help the environment and save!

It’s safe and responsible. Re-fill your bottles straight from the local drinking water supply and save. Reduce the effects of bottled water on the environment and keep countless plastic bottles out of land fills. Every bottle of water you buy and discard ends up in landfill, not to mention the energy wasted from bottle manufacturing and processing. Plus there is no pollution from transportation of bottled water to your event as it’s already flowing through the pipes.

‘Save the environment and your guest’s hip pocket’. Managing Director of Westernport Water explains the maths ‘For the average cost of a manufactured 600ml bottle of water you could buy 1700 litres of tap water’.
