This makes the appliance useful in a workplace, in private homes, in businesses—any place where there is need for water specifically for people who want liquid refreshment on demand.

 

Styles and designs

 

These days, water coolers Gold Coast come in a range of styles and designs. There are the countertop, wall-mounted, plumbed-in (point-of-use), and freestanding units to fit any space.

 

Mostly, these coolers don’t just dispense freezing cold water. They can dispense cold, cool, room temperature, or hot water in an instant on demand.

 

Types

 

Water coolers come in two main types—point-of-use and bottled. The point of use types of water coolers are connected directly to a building’s water supply. These dispense tap water directly to a building’s water supply. These are filtered by the cooler.

 

The bottled water coolers Gold Coast dispense from a large water jug. In turn, these water coolers are divided into two categories – the top loader or the bottom loader.

 

Usage  

 

The point-of-use water coolers Gold Coast connect directly to the municipal water supply. They dispense tap water and do not require a water bottle. Sometimes, they are called as “bottle-less” water coolers.

 

Most of these point-of-use water coolers have their own filtration mechanism. This is to remove substances or improve the taste of water. The main advantage in this type is that it has access to continuous supply of water. These coolers can be mounted on walls or as free standing units.

 

These types need access to the building’s main water line and they are more expensive than bottle water coolers. Some also requires professional installation. They may be pricier, but they can save money in the long run. They don’t require regular deliveries of bottled water refills.

 

Bottom loaders

 

Bottom loading coolers get their water supply from a water bottle mounted in the bottom half of the cooler, in a cover compartment. This makes loading and unloading easier.

 

Bottom-loading water coolers get their water supply from a water bottle. The water bottle mounts in the bottom half of the cooler, in a covered compartment.

 

Since these bottom loaders use bottled water, they can dispense other types of water (mineral, distilled and spring water) in addition to tap water.

 

Top loaders

 

The top-loading water coolers are a popular option because they are so affordable. Since the water from the cooler comes from a jug, it can dispense distilled, mineral and spring water.

 

However, the drawback of the top loader water cooler is the unloading and loading of the water bottle, which can be a cumbersome process for some people. Sometimes, some people don’t like seeing the top-loader cooler’s exposed jug. However, it is one easy way to monitor the water level.

 

Countertop

 

The countertop is a mini-version of the standard water cooler small enough to fit on a countertop. Like standard water coolers, countertop units can be point-of use models, or source their water from bottles.

 

Countertops are portable, ideal for kitchen counters, break rooms, and other places with limited space.
