London February 7 2011 – The T6 water dispenser has been given a positive recommendation by presenters on the BBC’s Sunday morning lifestyle show “Something for the Weekend.”

‘Gadget girl’ Abi Griffiths reviewed the product live on air, giving viewers a demonstration of the machine, which dispenses triple filtered hot and cold water at the touch of a button.

She highlighted the convenience of the T6, its USP – a UV lamp which kills off bacteria in the water – and its eco-credentials – “It gets rid of all those plastic bottles which still have a massive effect on the environment.”

She said: “You are getting really purified water at the touch of a button,” adding: “When you go into your kitchen in the morning and you need that first cup of tea, you just press a button – so you don’t have to stare at a kettle waiting for it to boil.”

Abi, a national athletics champion who also presents a range of sports programmes across television, said the machine saves time and water and was “great for offices.”

Co-presenter Tim Lovejoy, sitting beside her on the ‘Something for the Weekend’ sofa listening to the review, said: “It’s good.”

Thanks to a price promotion, the T6 is currently selling for £425 which includes installation by a factory-trained engineer and maintenance for a year.
About the T6:

As the T6 is mains fed, there is an instant supply of water, with no need to wait for the kettle to boil or rely on bottled water. A recent survey by T6 found that Britions spend 188 days of their working lives making tea in the office. The T6 is so called because its makers, Strauss Water, believe it will become the sixth indispensable kitchen appliance.

Water dispensed by the T6 is triple-filtered. A double carbon block removes odours and tiny particles, and reduces chlorine in order to improve the taste of the water. A UV lamp finishes the purification process and destroys micro-organisms present in the water supply. The T6 has an LCD screen, sleep and standby modes and comes in 12 different colours to fit any office decor. It is approved under the Water Regulation Advisory Scheme.

So when he was travelling on the underground to a pitch in London, his eye was automatically drawn to an advert for the T6, the stylish new water machine that dispenses filtered hot and cold water at the touch of a button.

Andy explains: “I was sitting there and saw the ad. I was literally drawn to it. I love my gadgets and I knew right there and then I wanted one.

“Our company had grown to ten people and getting the tea round involved boiling the kettle twice so we were on the look out for a product that would help with that. We also had a horrible looking water cooler that spawned lots of empty bottles. We don’t have a great deal of space so the clutter was a real issue.

“When I got back to the office, I sat down and did the sums. We were paying about L30 a month for the water cooler and the T6 was going to cost L22 a month. Not only we were going to be saving money month on month but at the end of it we would own the machine outright and we had solved both the water cooler issue and the kettle problem. It was a complete no brainer.

“The T6 is great. It is very neat and compact. My biggest concern was that it would not be big enough to cater for nine or ten people. But it soon became clear this was unfounded. There’s plenty of fresh, boiling hot water to go round.

“The thing I love about it most is when people come for meetings. Before, someone had to go and fill the kettle and wait for it to boil to make the tea and coffee. Now the process is instant. The tea and coffee is ready within a minute and people aren’t sitting there waiting for their hot drink. That is a huge benefit.”

Limegreentangerine takes its name from a line in a song by The Cure called Wrong Number that inspired Andy to leave his job and set up on his own. Based in Cardiff, the brand design and digital communications agency works for, among others, clients like National Dance Company Wales, Atradius, Sky TV, Cardiff Devils Ice Hockey and Londonlaunch.

The T6 connects to the mains so never runs out and comes in 12 colours. If you’re wondering which one Andy chose – it was limegreen of course! He said: “It had to be. We don’t have everything in limegreen – that would be too much. But it is a perfect match for the walls, chairs and desks that are!”

The T6 water dispenser is a new device for businesses which is set to replace kettles and water coolers offices in the UK.

The T6 is so called because its manufacturers believe it will become the sixth indispensable kitchen appliance. It filters water to remove odours and particles of sand, silt, rust and chlorine down to 0.6 micron. A UV lamp destroys any micro-organisms and its ‘Zero Air Gap Technology’ prevents bacteria.

Nick Heane, managing director of Tana Water which is launching the product in the UK, said: “The T6 is neat bit of kit for small businesses and home offices. It not only saves space but we believe it will save businesses time and money as well.

“There is no standing by the kettle waiting for it to boil and no need to spend money on bottled water – tap water costs 1p a litre compared to an average price of 73p a litre for bottled water in the UK.

“People are sometimes put off drinking tap water because it can taste funny – the T6’s triple filtration system deals with that and the result is great tasting water without the environmental impact of bottled water.”

The T6 has an LCD screen, sleep and standby modes and comes in 12 different colours to fit any office decor. It is approved under the Water Regulation Advisory Scheme.

Your water, Your Way, When You Need It
Using the T6 couldn’t be simpler. Easy-to-use buttons and a clear, bright display allow you to programme the T6 to dispense water just how you like it. The ‘Hot Water’ button keeps the T6 heated for instant hot water, with an “Extra Hot” button also provided for when you need boiling water in seconds. For those who want to quench their thirst, the “Cold Water” button dispenses triple filtered super chilled water. Better yet, you can fix the settings to your own requirements – exact temperate and amount of water delivered – making the T6 your one-stop solution for all of your drinking water needs. Energy saving features and wake-up functions allow you to get the most from your T6 when you want it.

Designed For a Great User Experience
‘The T6 was designed with the user in mind. Aiming to provide an efficient and simple unit that meets your water needs simply and quickly. With that goal, a number of personal settings have been built into the T6.
Set the water temperature to your own preference. Have your cold water from a chilling 5c to a cold 16c. If you prefer ambient water just use the mix button and set your preference anywhere between 10c-50c. The hot button provides instant hot water for coffee. The extra hot button provides water at a perfect temperature for tea. You can set the volume of water to be dispensed ensuring the correct amount for each drink from a button. You only use what you need and when you need it – meaning no waste.

Set the wake up mode ready for the start of the office day and you have boiling water for your first cuppa. The T6 also has an energy saving mode when not in use, saving energy and money.
By flipping up the tray you can fill anything from jugs to bottles for meetings meaning all your water needs are covered.

Water, But Better in Taste and Quality
There are no complications or catches with the T6. It connects simply and easily to your mains water supply, passing the water through an intensive purification process that removes all of the bad stuff. Three different filters strip away impurities in the water before an Ultra-Violet (UV) lamp rounds of the process by killing 99.9% of bacteria. That means that your water arrives free from any nasty surprises.

The T6 is a clever and stylish water dispenser that combines kettle and water cooler. It sits on a counter top and delivers filtered boiling and super-chilled drinking water at the touch of the button.

The T6 is mains fed so there is an instant supply, with no waiting for a kettle to boil or for the water cooler to be restocked, and an on-board provides precision temperature control.

Here are ten reasons why the T6 makes sense for UK offices, in either office kitchens or meeting rooms.

1. About 50 per cent of the UK’s CO2 is generated by offices – so serious attention needs to go into ways of reducing energy in offices.

2. Water is a precious resource and we should use it wisely at all times because it’s not as abundant as you might think.

3. The UK is not an exceptionally wet country. We actually have less water available per person than France, Italy or Greece. London, for example, has around the same average rainfall as Barcelona and less than Rome, Paris and Naples.

4. A running tap wastes over 6 litres of water a minute.

5. The average person in England and Wales uses 150 litres of water a day – or 264 pints. By 2020, with increasing population and housing growth the demand for water could increase by 5% – that’s 800 million extra litres of water a day.

6. Most kettles are only 90 per cent efficient.

7. People habitually boil too much water when the boil the kettle – money is going up not in smoke but steam!

8. If everyone in the UK boiled the right amount of water each time they used the kettle, the UK could save enough electricity in a year to power its street lights for 2 months.

9. Boling water is too hot for coffee and spoils it, over-extracting the beans, scalding the delicate coffee oils and making the coffee taste burnt and bitter.

10. The average cost of a litre of tap water in the UK is just under 1p compared to 73p for the average cost of a litre of bottled water in the UK.

The T6 comes in 12 different colours and is approved under the Water Regulation Advisory Scheme. For more details, please go to: www.t6water.co.uk
