At AquAid Tyne Wear Tees, we recently completed the installation of an AquAid 33 Cold water cooler for the new Barker and Stonehouse store at the Metrocentre.
With a high volume of daily visitors and staff on site, the client requested a modern, stylish water cooler that would complement their showroom environment while providing reliable access to chilled drinking water for customers and team members alike.
The Client Requirement
Barker and Stonehouse’s new store is a busy retail environment, particularly during weekends and peak seasonal periods. During the summer months especially, demand for cold drinking water increases significantly.
They needed a solution that would:
- Maintain a constant supply of chilled water
- Withstand high daily usage
- Look sleek and modern within a premium showroom
- Be easy for both customers and staff to use
The unit also needed to operate efficiently without disrupting the clean, professional aesthetic of the store.
Why the AquAid 33 Cold?
The AquAid 33 Cold is a mains-fed water cooler designed for performance and durability in high-demand environments.
Its key benefits include:
- High-capacity cooling system designed for busy locations
- Reliable chilled water output, even during warmer months
- Modern, professional appearance
- Direct mains connection – no bottle storage required
- Cost-effective and environmentally friendly operation
For a large retail setting such as the Metrocentre, a mains-fed system eliminates the need for bottle deliveries and ensures uninterrupted access to drinking water throughout trading hours.
The Installation
Our team at AquAid Tyne Wear Tees completed the installation efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption to store operations. The unit was positioned in an accessible area for both customers and staff, while maintaining the store’s visual appeal.
The result is a dependable, high-performance water cooler that supports hydration for visitors and employees alike – particularly important during busy summer trading periods.
The Outcome
The AquAid 33 Cold now provides consistent chilled water throughout the day, even during peak footfall and warm weather.
This project demonstrates how AquAid Tyne Wear Tees works with retail businesses to deliver water solutions that are both practical and visually suited to customer-facing environments.
