Aren't Office Water Coolers Bulky and Ugly?If you think that office water coolers are still bulky and ugly then you have obviously not seen the modern sleek, sexy and streamlined office coolers that are available today.

While office water coolers were originally seriously ugly and something that one did not want out in public view, modern state-of-the-art office water coolers come in various types and models, and some of them offer interchangeable side-panels which make it a breeze to customise them to your corporate colours; you can even have your business logo imprinted on them.

Modern office water coolers are very popular because they afford personnel and visitors to your business 24/7 hassle-free access to great-tasting, hygienic, chilled drinking water. Some models even offer chilled, ambient and hot water options which means that they can be used to make hot drinks like coffee, tea or hot chocolate too, which makes having a hot-water urn or kettle in the office obsolete these days.

Types of Office Water Coolers

There are basically two kinds or types of office waters cooler; bottled water coolers and mains or Point of Use (POU) water coolers.

  • Bottled Office Water Coolers:

Bottled office water coolers are exactly what they sound like; a cabinet with a large inverted bottle on top which dispenses water via a tap. These are similar to the water coolers of old but are far more modern and sexy than those old clunkers. Some bottled office water coolers need to be collected to an electrical outlet so that the water can be chilled while others are actually more water dispensers in that they are standalone and do not chill the water.

There are various models of bottled office water coolers such as the top-of-the-range models offered by Living-Water; the Star, the Executive and the Table Top. Living-Water bottled office water coolers dispense Living-Water Spring Water from the Wenlock range.

  • Mains Office Water Coolers

Mains, plumbed-in or POU office water coolers are plumbed into the main water line and must be plugged into an electrical outlet to enable them to cool and/or heat the water. Mains office water coolers are suited to all businesses as they can supply water constantly.

There are also various models of mains office water coolers such as the cost effective models offered by Living-Water; the Continuum, the Fountain, the Pure, the Executive and the under counter model. All mains water coolers can be fitted with a Living-Water Triple Activated Carbon Filter, and some models offer cold, ambient and hot water options.
