What is the difference between a water cooler and a water dispenser?

It’s a question that not many people outside the industry will know. Both a water cooler and a water dispenser will provide a great solution to keep your workforce hydrated and productive…but what exactly is the difference?

Across the industry, we have seen water equipment given a variety of labels. Bottled water coolers, plumbed-in water dispensers, mains-fed water coolers and many more. But only a few are technically correct.

Coinadrink Limited explains.

What is a water cooler?

A water cooler like the Mogul is a traditional bottled-fed machine. The cold water will always be delivered courtesy of the bottle that usually sits atop the cooler, which is why the bottle will need replacing when it falls empty. This replenishment is something Coinadrink Limited offer as part of our highly regarded water service, which also includes regular sanitisation. A water cooler is best suited to smaller workplaces.

What is a water dispenser?

Meanwhile, a water dispenser is arguably the more advanced hydration solution. A water dispenser such as the Borg B3 is plumbed directly into the mains water supply and can offer hot, cold, ambient and even sparkling water at the touch of a button. Water dispensers tend to be more innovative and more stylish and are ideally suited to larger environments with a higher volume of staff.
