Office Water Coolers
|
An office water dispenser provides fresh drinking water which is an essential part of any office environment.
A water cooler is much more hygienic than a drinking fountain, and it has the advantage of being movable if one location proves to be inconvenient.
Most office water cooler systems come equipped with paper cup dispensers, so there are no dishes to wash and no plastic water bottles or soda cans to recycle.
Employees can also use a water dispenser to refill personal water containers that they can keep with them in their workspaces.
Office water dispensers are suitable for all types of companies, from professional offices to factories or automotive shops. It is an efficient and cost-effective way to ensure that employees have a consistent supply of fresh drinking water at all times.
In today's health-conscious society, employees will appreciate their employer making an extra effort to supply the office with clean, cool water and happy employees are more productive.
An office water cooler is a more attractive and environmentally friendly solution than a vending machine, and the expense of installing one is quite reasonable. Water coolers are typically seen in one of two styles: bottled and bottleless.
Bottled Water Cooler
Most people are familiar with the bottled style of water cooler. It consists of a large clear plastic bottle that is placed upside down on a base that contains a tap or taps to dispense the water. A dispenser may be just a cooler or it may also have a hot water option, which is useful for making tea, hot chocolate and instant soups.The primary benefit of having a bottled water cooler is convenience. It can be placed in close proximity to the work area so employees do not have to travel far to relieve their thirst. This type of water cooler has gained immense popularity with the recent trend toward bottled water, but it is not without its drawbacks.
This type of office water cooler requires a regular supply of bottled water, which is often delivered by a water company, incurring yet another company expense.
Lately, there has been some question as to the quality of bottled water. Many brands of bottled water tested were shown to have higher levels of microbes and other contaminants than tap water, leading to the conclusion that some companies have been simply selling bottled tap water that has been sitting in a plastic jug for an undetermined length of time.
Some people dislike having to change water bottles, finding them heavy and difficult to manage.

Bottleless Water Cooler
Due to concerns about the questionable quality of bottled water, another style of water cooler that is being seen more often is the bottleless design. Instead of using a bottle that requires changing on a regular basis, this type of water cooler connects to existing plumbing to provide an endless free supply of water.It contains a filter to clean the water as it passes through the unit to ensure that only pure clean water is dispensed. The old fashioned style of bottleless water cooler is also known as a drinking fountain, but in today's health-conscious society, drinking fountains are generally viewed as a cesspool of germs.
The new type of bottleless water cool has a sleek streamlined look similar to the bottled water cooler bit with no bottle. It can dispense cold water only or both hot and cold depending on the unit. Many companies are opting for this type of water cooler because they are almost maintenance-free.
There is no ongoing cost of bottled water delivery or the inconvenience of having to store and change heavy water bottles. The filter needs to be replaced on a regular basis to ensure a steady supply of clean water, but most people consider this to be a nominal chore.

Summary
Office water coolers are essential for any companies that have numerous employees, especially when those employees are confined to the same general area throughout the workday. Workplaces that have limited water access or that require employees to work outdoors or in high temperature areas should also have a supply of fresh drinking water close at hand at all times.
Proper hydration is essential for life and proper brain function, and properly functioning employees will be more alert and more productive.
In today's health oriented society, more people are staying away from sugary drinks and opting for fresh, clean water, and a company that is willing to supply this to its employees will be considered to be a good company for which to work.
