Plumbed in water coolers v Bottled water coolers

A water cooler is a device that cools (some heat) and dispenses water. There are usually two categories: plumbed in water coolers and bottled water coolers. Plumbed in water coolers are hooked up to the water supply, while bottled water coolers require delivery of water in large bottles from vendors.

In general bottled water cooler water is more expensive then plumbed in water cooler water, some bottle suppliers add on a delivery charge too. Bottled water coolers are awkward and the bottles are extremely heavy when replacing. This is frustrating in large offices when the bottles need replacing more regularly.

Office managers are becoming more aware not only of the ongoing costs of bottled water but the storage space the bottles take up. In large offices in London where there are 8,9 or even 10 bottles (some empty, some full) the cost to store these bottles per sq ft is in the thousands! This space could be utilised for another desk.

Water from the tap is also deemed to be fresher than water that is hanging around in bottles for days or weeks, fluctuating in temperature.

There is also an ever present health and safety issue with the bottles being left around the office and staff tripping over them.

If you or your company cares about the environment then you would opt for a plumbed in office water cooler . Imagine all those thousands of lorries and vans pumping out fumes into the environment just to deliver water to you.

There are a vast range of plumbed in water coolers available that filter water and supply it hot or chilled. There are freestanding models, under counter models, table top models and fountain models.

It makes sense to utilise the water supply that is already coming into your home, office, gym, hotel, hospital or school instead of buying in another source and wasting money and harming the environment.
