Bottled Water Coolers

A bottled water cooler is a floor-standing or desktop unit that dispenses chilled (and sometimes hot) water from a large refillable bottle. It does not connect to your water mains, so it can be set up anywhere there is a power socket.

For the person drinking the water, both do the same job. The practical differences are how the cooler gets its water and the running cost. A plumbed-in cooler connects to your existing supply, so you never order or store bottles, it usually works out cheaper over time, and it has a lower carbon footprint. We recommend a plumbed-in cooler wherever the plumbing allows it.

A bottled cooler is the right choice when connecting to the mains is not practical. Common examples are a short-term lease, serviced offices or a shared kitchen where you cannot alter the plumbing, or a listed building where changes are restricted. In those situations a bottled cooler gives you the same chilled water without needing a plumber. If you are not sure which suits your premises, call us on 01273 299 685 and we will talk it through with you.

Yes. Some of our machines, such as the Avalanche, are designed to be converted from bottle-fed to mains-fed if your situation changes, for example when you move to a permanent office or get permission to alter the plumbing. Choosing bottled now does not lock you out of the savings and lower plastic use of a plumbed-in cooler later.

Our bottled coolers take standard 12, 15 and 19 litre bottles. A full 19 litre bottle weighs around 19 kg, so a 12 or 15 litre bottle can be a better choice if the person changing it would find a full 19 litre bottle difficult to lift.

We deliver replacement bottles so you do not run out. If you are in Brighton & Hove or another BN postcode, delivery is free with a minimum order of 5 bottles.

Yes. You can buy a cooler outright or rent one, depending on what suits your business. Renting can be useful if you only need the cooler for a short period, such as during a fixed-term office lease.
