Hydration with Purpose
At Salty Spaces, every detail of our coworking experience is designed with care, right down to the water our members drink. That’s why we’ve partnered with Aqua Ubique, whose MG10 machines turn air into fresh, clean, mineral-balanced water.
For our community, this means limited plastic bottles, no deliveries, and no waste, just safe, great-tasting water on tap whenever you need it. But the impact doesn’t stop at our doors.
Through Aqua Ubique’s Drop4Drop initiative, each machine also funds the installation of clean water technology in communities facing long-term water insecurity. Recently, this helped provide a brand-new MG10 at Ny-Ku Byun Elders Village in Cherbourg, QLD, giving local residents a reliable, sustainable source of safe drinking water every day.
For us, it’s simple: every sip at Salty Spaces is part of a bigger story. When you work here, you’re not only fuelling your own productivity, you’re also supporting clean water access for others.
