Types of Water Coolers

There are three main types of water coolers available from suppliers in the UK; mains-fed (otherwise known as point-of-use) coolers, bottled coolers and under-counter chilled water taps.

Each of these systems have their place, below details for and against each system:

Mains-Fed Water Coolers

These water coolers plug into your mains water supply and are available in floorstanding or countertop models to suit the proposed location.

Advantages:

• Fresh filtered water with every drink as most systems include an inline carbon filter
• Cheap to run as you don’t have to buy the expensive water bottles
• Better for the environment as they cut out the need for plastic
• Endless water supply so you won’t run out of water in the hot weather
• Look attractive and new designs of water coolers have built in waste features

Disadvantages: (actually quite hard to find any)

• Once they are installed they can’t easily be moved without adjusting the pipework
• They need to be installed by a professional, however, Wellbeing will take care of this for you with no extra cost

Nebraska Pro is our best-selling plumbed in water cooler as it robust as well as having a stylish design.

Under Counter Water Coolers

Chiller units are stored under the counter and the water tap is fixed to a worktop. They are becoming more popular in the modern office as they save space and the sleek designs available.

Advantages:

• Save space on work surfaces
• Plumbed in which saves on water costs
• Also available with boiling water options
• Range of colours to match corporate branding

Disadvantages:

• Often can be costly to purchase or lease a machine
• More technical parts which means you need a good maintenance package

The Alaska Range or the Billi systems and Zip Tap systems are great under sink chillers and also available with sparkling water too!

Bottled Water Coolers

Types of water coolers that probably first come to your mind, a white unit with a large plastic bottle on top

Advantages:

• Usually bottles are filled with spring or mineral water
• Quite flexible where they can be located as they only require a power socket to work

Disadvantages:

• Don’t look great with the huge bottle on top
• Can run up expensive water bills
• In hot weather the consumption usefully increases and often leads to running out of water.
