A water cooler is a device that cools (some also heat) and dispenses water. There are usually two categories: bottle-less water coolers and bottled water coolers. Bottle-less 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 bottle-less cooler water plus some bottle suppliers add on a delivery charge as well. 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 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 utilized 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 bottle-less office water cooler. Imagine all those thousands of trucks and vans pumping out fumes into the environment just to deliver water to you.
There are a vast range of bottle-less 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 just makes good sense to utilize the water supply that is already coming into your home, office, gym, hotel, hospital or school instead of bringing in another source, wasting money and harming the environment.
