2019 Goals
Happy New Year! 2019 will be very different for Sprudel. In our almost 5 years of existence we have tried (and failed) in different ways to engage new potential clients. We look back to the start of 2014 with a smile as we remember going into office blocks around town, pressing the highest floor of the […]
The Attenborough effect
With the usual winter season rush out of the way, we finally have time to revisit our blogs. To be honest, the winter 2017/18 has been our busiest ever. We have become the trusted water partner of quite a few multi national companies in very different sectors. A couple of years ago it would have […]
Low sodium
Drive down Sheikh Zayed Road, open your daily local newspaper, scroll through social media ads or listen to the radio and you will almost certainly see or hear an advert for low sodium water or zero sodium water…or sodium less than 0.0000000000000000000001% (which is quite a small amount). What you should know about the sodium […]
What’s in our water?
The most important question for us during the research phase of setting up Sprudel was a simple Yes/No question: Is tap water drinkable when filtered? Before we became a company, we imported a test machine from Germany and hooked it up to the DEWA supply, connected a little 1 litre Carbon Dioxide tank, switched the […]
Dangers of plastic bottles – BPA
We spend over $100 billion a year worldwide on plastic water bottles and it is expected to grow around 4 to 10% each year as we continue to use more and more plastic bottles in our everyday lives. We did some research before we started the company to get a feel for the market we […]
Clever machines
Made in Germany. Three words that instantly tells us, as a consumer, that the product you are using is just a little bit better than other products. A recent Statista study indexed the Made-In-Country reputation of 52 countries by surveying 43,034 people consumers worldwide. The results are not really surprising. Germany landed on top with an index of […]
and the price for a litre of filtered water in Dubai is…
…0.7fils. That’s not a typo there. The lowest cost of DEWA water in Dubai, when on a commercial tariff, is 3.5 fils per Imperial Gallon (1IG = 4.54 liters). For 1 Dirham you can drink over one hundred and forty liters of water from our machines. If you drink the recommended 3 liters of water […]
Something about Water Quality
Before we started Sprudel, the first thing we had to test was the water quality out of the machine. The only way to do this was to get a machine. So we shipped a machine out from Germany, connected it to taps in 3 locations and took a water sample from each location to the […]
All about the Water
If you ask the average person on the streets of Dubai if they drink tap water, the normal answer is ‘No’. There are a lot of valid arguments against drinking tap water… brown water coming from the taps being the main one followed closely by not knowing if the building water tanks are regularly cleaned […]
We educate about plastic..
Why education is important Education is a big part of what we do at Sprudel. Not only do we educate businesses about alternative drinking water options, but also educate about the use (misuse?) of plastic water bottles. Earlier this week we shared (via our newly implemented social media accounts – you should really check them […]
