Water Coolers & Filtered Taps in Northampton

Vida Water supplies, installs and services plumbed-in water coolers, boiling taps, hot water boilers and drinking fountains for Northampton and the rest of Northamptonshire, from distribution sites along the M1 to offices, schools and the town centre. It is the furthest point of our regular East Midlands work.

Lichfield to Northampton: about 60 miles

From Lichfield, we head south-east by the A5 and M6 to the M1, then down to junctions 15 and 16. It is roughly 60 miles, usually 65 to 75 minutes. Brackmills, Swan Valley and Pineham sit right by those junctions, so most industrial sites are reached without going through the town.

Planned servicing is booked in advance, so the distance makes no difference to when your filters are changed.

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 Northampton enquiries start with a free site survey, where we check your water supply, space and headcount and recommend the right equipment.

Northampton has hard water. Equipment needs to be specified for it

Northampton is not supplied by the same water company as Staffordshire or the West Midlands. It is in Anglian Water's area, and Anglian Water classes all of the water it supplies as hard to very hard, because of the chalk the water passes through. That is the single most important local fact for anyone fitting hot water equipment in the town.

Hard water means limescale, and scale does its damage inside boiling-water taps and boilers, where it cannot be seen. Zip, whose HydroTap systems we install, advises that for areas with hard water, the addition of a limescale prevention filter will safeguard the ongoing high performance and longevity of your HydroTap. Most manufacturers also make scale damage the owner's problem, not a warranty claim. So in Northampton, we treat scale filtration on hot units as standard, and planned descaling as part of the service.

Cold-only equipment, such as a chilled tap or a drinking fountain, is less exposed to scale, but its filters still work harder in hard water. Six-monthly filter changes are the minimum, not the target.

Northampton questions

Is Northampton a hard water area?

Yes. Anglian Water, which supplies Northampton, classes all the water it supplies as hard to very hard. That is why we fit scale filtration on boiling taps and boilers here as standard.

Does a normal water filter stop limescale?

No. The carbon filters used on cold-water machines improve taste and remove sediment, but they do not stop scale in hot-water equipment. Hot units need a dedicated scale-reduction filter.

You are based in Lichfield. Is Northampton too far?

No. It is just over an hour by motorway, and planned servicing is booked in advance, so your filter changes run to schedule.

Can you cover several warehouses on one agreement?

Yes. One survey, one agreement and one point of contact, however many sites you run along the M1.
