A Brief Guide To Buying An Office Water Cooler
It's now a legal requirement for all workplaces to provide easily accessible drinking water and there is a lot of choice in the office water cooler market. This article will hopefully provide a quick guide to the different features.
The main decision to make when choosing an office water cooler is whether your company wants one which is connected to the building's plumbing or a bottled water cooler. While plumbed in units tend to be more expensive initially, they do not require regular purchases of extra bottles, working out cheaper over time. Having a plumbed in water unit also means there is no need to dispose of used bottles which can become a problem. Empty 19-litre containers clogging up the office can well become hazardous.
A bottled office water cooler does offer several advantages over plumbed in units, however: aside from the lower initial outlay, there is no need to pay for a professional to come and connect it to the plumbing, which can be both costly and inconvenient. A bottled unit can be moved easily, where a plumbed in cooler is connected to the water pipes, making it static. This mobility is definitely an advantage when it comes to refurbishing the office.
The plumbed in office water cooler range tends to have more features and offers more ways for employees to take their water. While ambient and chilled are default selections on most models of both bottled and plumbed in units, several high-end plumbed in coolers offer other options such as hot and sparkling, allowing the user to really decide how they would like their water.
A bottled water unit, while tending to be more expensive over time due to having to keep ordering more water, does offer a degree of flexibility which the plumbed in ranges cannot. Aside from mobility, it is easy to source cheap suppliers of water via the internet, making what could seem a prohibitive yearly cost much more palatable. It also doesn't go on your building's mains water bill.
Whichever kind of office water cooler your company chooses; most suppliers will offer a wide range with many different features and designs to suit your office. Some companies will even offer branding options, allowing your cooler to really look like part of the office. While easily accessible drinking water is a legal requirement for your employees it needn't be an expensive purchase. Many suppliers can provide the right cooler for far less than you might expect, making the purchase good for both your business and your staff.
