Selecting a water cooler? Choosing the right water cooler for your needs depends on a number of factors. There are two types of cooler: bottled water coolers and POU otherwise known as mains-fed coolers. Both have advantages.


Bottled water coolers If you want to be able to plug-in the machine or machines wherever is convenient, and you have suitable dry, dark and clean space to store a supply of bottles, a bottled water cooler is ideal.


Bottled water coolers also have the advantage of being movable so that if an open-plan office or factory

configuration changes, you can move the cooler as needed. It also can be prominently displayed, so nudging workers to remember to drink the recommended 8 glasses a day. You need to ensure that staff changing the water bottles are correctly trained in safe handling.


POU (Point of use) coolers If you have a readily accessible source of mains water and limited storage space, then a mains-fed cooler may be best. There is no need to store bottles but there is no flexibility as once plumbed in the position remains fixed.


Your chosen supplier will be able to offer guidance on which machines will be suitable. They will also arrange regular sanitisation of your units, whichever type you select.


The annual BWCA conference and trade show is on the 28th March 2019 in Nottingham.
