Benefits of Plumbed in Water Coolers

Plumbed in water coolers have many advantages over bottled water coolers.

What happens to stagnant water? If you have walked beside a pond or deep puddle, you will note that stagnant water can develop an odor, greasy film, and other unpleased effects over time. Your water cooler is no different. Even with frequent use, the water in bottled water coolers sits for extended periods of time. Are you comfortable drinking water that has sat overnight for more than eight hours? For many bottled systems, the water in the bottle is not refrigerated. The chilling process happens when the water passes out of the bottle, through the system, and into your cup. If you find the thought of drinking a glass of water distasteful after it has been on your countertop for hours, you should find the thought of drinking bottled water equally concerning. Plumbed in water coolers do not allow water to stagnate. Plumbed in water coolers are hooked up to your existing water supply. This has the same effect as turning on a tap for running water. For plumbed in water coolers, however, when you "turn the tap" so to speak, water passes through the system, chilling and purifying it for optimum taste and freshness.

Forgetting to purchase or pick up bottles for your bottled cooler can be frustrating and leave you without water when you need it most. Fortunately, plumbed in water coolers never run out of water; as long as your building’s water supply is running, your plumbed in cooler will supply you with fresh water without the inconvenience and hassle of transporting and buying bottles.

Plumbed in water coolers can be energy efficient and when you no longer have the need to purchase bottle after bottle of water, you realize significant savings in cost. Add up the cost of bottled water (including transportation, storage of full and empty bottles, and the time it takes away from work to have you or an employee frequently going to buy bottled water) and you will be unpleasantly surprised. Plumbed in water coolers save both time and money allowing you and your group to focus on the tasks at hand, not on your thirst.
