Water Coolers & Filtered Taps in Lichfield
Lichfield is our hometown. Vida Water was set up here, our office is here, and the people who answer the phone and plan the work live and work in and around the city. When a Lichfield business calls us, it deals with the people who run the company and a team that knows the roads, the estates and the buildings, not a regional desk.
Based in Lichfield, minutes from anywhere in the city
Our office is in Lichfield itself, so the cathedral close, the city centre, Boley Park, Streethay and Fradley Park are all a short drive away, and most Lichfield sites are within ten to fifteen minutes.
Being this close changes how a job runs. A site survey can be booked around your diary, not ours. If something needs looking at, it is a local trip, and when you ring, the person you speak to knows where your building is.
Every system we fit is mains-fed: no bottle deliveries to schedule and no storage to find. We also service and sanitise equipment that other suppliers installed, so everything can sit on one agreement. Most Lichfield enquiries start with a free site survey, where we check your water supply, space and headcount and recommend the right equipment.
Why we are proud to be a Lichfield company
Lichfield is a small city with a big reputation: the three spires of the cathedral, Samuel Johnson's birthplace on the Market Square, and a centre that still has its own independent businesses. It is also a working city, with offices, schools, hospitality, care settings and large distribution buildings at Fradley Park.
We would rather earn work in Lichfield by being the local firm that does the job properly than by being the cheapest name on a national list. Our reputation is built in this city first, so every Lichfield installation is one we expect people to talk about, and one we keep coming back to service.
Lichfield has hard water, and we specify for it
South Staffs Water supplies Lichfield and states that all the water it supplies is hard. In the Hopwas supply zone, which covers most of the city, it measures 255.8 mg/l as calcium carbonate. That is hard on the Drinking Water Inspectorate's scale. The Shenstone and Swinfen zone is lower, at 167.4 mg/l, which is moderately hard.
Hard water means limescale, and scale does its damage inside boiling-water taps and boilers. The carbon filter used on a cold-water machine does not stop it. So on hot-water equipment in Lichfield, we fit scale-reduction filtration and include descaling in planned servicing. Six-monthly filter changes are the minimum here, not the target.

Lichfield questions
Are you actually based in Lichfield?
Yes. Our office is in Lichfield, and the company is run from here. We are a Lichfield business, not a national firm with a local landing page.
Is Lichfield a hard water area?
Yes. South Staffs Water measures 255.8 mg/l in the Hopwas zone that supplies most of the city, which is hard. Boiling taps and boilers here need scale-reduction filtration, and we fit it as standard.
Do you service or sanitise equipment you did not install?
Yes. We service and sanitise water coolers, taps and boilers fitted by other suppliers, so you can move everything onto one local maintenance agreement.
Can I see the equipment before I commit?
Start with a free site survey. We come to you, check your water supply, space and headcount, and talk you through the options with no obligation.
