Water Coolers

Nothing beats a nice cold drink of water for quenching thirst and keeping hydrated. In the workplace, water coolers can be the perfect platform for refreshing staff and visitors: they are quick, easy and cost effective and are welcomed by everyone. Water coolers from Intelligent Vending Ltd are either available to purchase outright, or can typically be rented over a 3 year agreement (other terms available on request). Our water cooler rental agreements are inclusive of installation, support and twice yearly sanitisation.

Water coolers come in two main types: bottled and POU (Point of Use). Bottled water coolers use replaceable containers to provide the water, whereas POU water coolers are plumbed directly in to the mains water supply. Obviously, it is important to decide which type is most suitable for your needs at the outset.

For a variety of reasons, we recommend POU water coolers are used whenever possible. The difference in the quality of the water itself is perhaps the most important factor. It is not uncommon for bottled water to sit for a large portion of its shelf life in a warehouse somewhere before being delivered to and used by the consumer; in comparison, filtered regular tap water can provide a significantly nicer drink. Interestingly, there are actually more standards in place for regulating tap water in Europe and the US than there are for regulating bottled water.

POU water coolers are also more economical – both financially and environmentally. Over a period of time these water coolers work out considerably more cost effective than their bottled counterparts while also eliminating the inconvenience of manually replacing heavy bottles. Additionally, toxic emissions given off from the transport and manufacture of plastic bottled water are damaging to the environment, contributing to climate change.

The Borg and Overstrom, and AA3300X water coolers we have on offer are the most popular in our range. Quiet and reliable, these highly stylish water coolers make a great addition to any site or office.

However, we are also able to offer a wider range of water coolers and water fountains upon request. Please contact us if you would like further information.

With summer almost upon us, it is the perfect time to prepare for the hot days to come with a high quality water cooler from Intelligent Vending Ltd!
