This is clearly going to be number one!

Why? Because no one actively wants to drink water (never mind more water) when it doesn't taste good, smells like bleach and leaves a harsh after-taste from heavy metals.

So why not filter those out? It is simple, easy, quick and cost effective. There really isn't a down side.

With the Glacier GW1 undersink water filter, you have fresh, clean drinking water straight from your kitchen tap all the time. Plus, they only need changed every 2-3 years.

Fill up and go. No chlorine, heavy metals, pesticides... or anything else for that matter.

When trying to drink more water here in the Glacier Water Systems Ltd office, this is a tried and tested method.

It works.

Obviously here in the office we have fresh, filtered water from our Glacier GW5 Whole System Water Filter. We fill up our glass water bottles with this water, making it much easier to drink, measure how much we are drinking or if we don't want to measure, we have a visual aid to see our intake.

We are definitely drinking more and there is a noticeable change in the energy levels some days! It is rewarding drinking more water!

But why 500ml or 750ml? Basically anything less than 500ml is too little. You drink it too quickly and when out and about, you need to refill quicker and believe us, the places with clean, filtered water on tap are limited. 1l is too much. No one wants to carry the weight plus it just looks like alot of effort to drink that much.

For example, if you are at work and complete a task, or at home and go to the bathroom, take a good drink from your glass water bottle or glass.

Sometimes here in the office the water bottle sits and judges me. It just looks neglected and untouched.

Using it this way, not only will you drink more, but it gives the mind a little break. Drinking water will only aid this, refuelling it for the next task or nappy change.

and there is an app for water consumption too. In fact, there are multiple.

Download an app to your phone to set daily reminders and alarms to drink more.

I don't know about you, but I get excited by a pretty interface and a goal achieved tick! And this actually works. If you work in a busy environment or have little ones to look after, "taking a sip every time you do something" is just not practical. Have your phone do the work for you.
