If you are considering adding a bottled water dispenser to a home or office, there are a few features that you should consider before you make your decision. You may be familiar with the plastic dispenser withe colored knobs to dispense water. These dispensers have a five gallon jug turned upside down on top of them to provide the filtered water that has been delivered by truck.
Today you will find that there are water dispensers that are designed to hide the water bottle or those that do not require a bottle. These bottleless water coolers can offer many other features that include ice cold water, near boiling water and room temperature water. These features can also be found in bottled water dispensers too.
If your bottled water offers cold water, it means that you can fill your cup or water bottle and not have to add ice in order to have a cold drink. Hot water is useful for cocoa, tea or soup. It is very convenient when you do not have to heat the water for these items in the microwave.
When water dispensers do not have a bottle, they generally offer filtered water. The filter is not needed for the actual water bottle dispenser as the water in the bottle has already been through a water filtering system. Bottled water generally has all of the contaminants removed before it is bottled.
In the office, many employees appreciate the effort to help them get enough water to drink that does not have a chlorine taste. Workers that have enough to drink are more productive than those who do not drink enough water during the day. By providing a dispenser, the employees do not have to bring their own bottled water to work. Addition of hot or cold water makes the dispenser even more useful to the employees.
For dispensers in the home, there are also several features that will likely fit into your decor. You can get dispensers in pottery, stainless steel, wood or even custom built to fit into the home's decor. You can choose to rent a water dispenser or purchase one locally or online.
There are several things to consider as you choose between the bottle or bottleless dispenser.
To prevent running out of water you must purchase the correct amount of water each week. Since deliveries only come about once per week, if you do not order enough water, you can run out before the week is up. If you order too much water, storage can be a problem, as you must store both empty and full bottles of water. The only required maintenance is to clean the dispenser on occasion.
The dispensers without bottles do not require the storage area. They are connected to your homes plumbing and filter tap water to give it a great taste. Installation may require that you have the assistance of a plumber. You will be required to change filters on occasion and must clean the reservoir regularly. However, as long as you keep the filter changed, you will always have all the water that you need for your home.
