Water Coolers

Bottled water dispensers typically involve two parts: a large bottle to hold the water and a stand with a tap built in. Water coolers (or water machines) are often used in front of house settings such as hotel foyers and office receptions.

Many bottled water dispensers now come with both hot and cold dispensing options. In many cases, the hot tap will be optional, so you can turn it on if you need hot water and turn it off to conserve energy when you don't. Most will also have safety features to avoid burns from water that's too hot.

Water Vending Machines

Water vending machines come in a variety of sizes and types - some dispense drinking water at both chilled and ambient (room) temperature; some are floor standing, others sit on a table or counter top. A large container of bottled water is usually attached upside down on top of the water machine; supplies of bottled water are readily available from many online or other suppliers.

Our Top Tip
Place water coolers in high traffic areas to encourage people to drink more water.
