How do water dispensers work?

As we embrace the warmer weather of April and the joys of Spring, it’s a great time to remind ourselves of the importance of hydration at work.

Staying hydrated not only boosts energy levels and productivity but also promotes overall wellbeing. Water dispensers are a practical and efficient solution for keeping your workforce refreshed throughout the day.

But how do water dispensers work, and what types are available to suit your workplace needs?

Types of water dispenser

At Coinadrink Limited, we offer a wide range of water dispensers to suit various workplace environments, from busy offices to industrial settings. Whether you’re after a sleek, modern tap system or a robust bottled cooler, Coinadrink has something for every environment.

The two main types of water dispensers are plumbed (POU) and non-plumbed dispensers. Additionally, there are specialised systems like instant hot water dispensers that offer hot water on demand. Each system works differently, so it’s important to understand how they function before choosing the best option for your workplace.

Plumbed water dispenser

A plumbed water dispenser, also known as a mains-fed or POU water dispenser, is directly connected to your building’s water supply.

These systems provide a continuous flow of water, meaning there’s no need for refilling or replacing heavy bottles. The water is filtered and chilled (or heated, depending on your needs) before being dispensed, ensuring high-quality hydration at all times.

At Coinadrink, we offer a range of stylish, innovative plumbed water dispensers like the Borg and Overstrom E4 and E7 models. These systems are perfect for busy workplaces that require a consistent, reliable water supply throughout the day.

They are available in both floor-standing and tabletop versions, and with contactless technology, they are ideal for promoting hygiene and peace of mind.

How do plumbed water dispensers work?

POU water dispensers work by drawing water directly from your building’s mains supply.

Water passes through a filtration system to remove impurities, improving taste and quality. The water is then chilled or heated, depending on the model, and dispensed into your glass or reusable bottle.

The Borg and Overstrom systems are excellent examples of high-performance POU dispensers, offering both hot and cold-water options, ideal for canteens, boardrooms, and high-traffic areas.

Non plumbed water dispenser 

If you don’t have access to a mains water supply or prefer a more flexible solution, non-plumbed water dispensers are a great alternative.

These dispensers are usually either bottled or boxed water coolers, providing an easy-to-install and maintain option for workplaces of all sizes.

How do non plumbed dispensers work?

Non-plumbed dispensers are designed to work with bottles or boxes of water.

The water is poured into the dispenser’s reservoir, and the system then cools and dispenses it as needed. For non-plumbed water dispensers, the main difference lies in how the water is supplied.

While bottled coolers rely on large water bottles usually placed atop the cooler, boxed coolers provide water from a sustainable, recyclable cardboard box that’s housed within the cooler. This helps maintain water quality by protecting it from light exposure, which can affect taste.

Bottled water coolers, like the AA First 3300X, are often the ideal choice for smaller workplaces or businesses that want an upgrade to standard tap water without the need for plumbing.

 Meanwhile, boxed water coolers are a great, eco-friendly alternative for companies looking to reduce their environmental impact while offering superior-quality water to employees.

Make a difference around the world with a bottled water cooler

When you choose to purchase bottled water from Coinadrink, you’ll also be helping to support the Just Small Change charity.

With every bottle purchase, a small contribution is made to this fantastic cause, which helps children and families in need. It’s a great way to make a positive impact on your community while keeping your workplace hydrated with top-quality water.

Hot water dispensers

For workplaces that need access to hot water throughout the day, whether for tea, coffee, or other hot beverages, a hot water dispenser is a must-have.

Coinadrink’s range of instant hot water taps can provide hot water on demand, with no need for kettles or boiling water. This means less waiting around for water to heat up and a more efficient use of time in busy work environments.

How do hot water dispensers work?

Instant hot water dispensers work by instantly heating water to your desired temperature.

The water is typically drawn from the mains supply, passed through a filtration system, and rapidly heated to the optimal temperature so it is always ready. Whether you need hot water for a cup of tea or coffee or any other purpose, these systems provide a continuous supply of water at the touch of a button.

At Coinadrink, we offer advanced instant hot water taps like the Borg T2 and T3, which provide not only hot water but also cold, ambient, and sparkling water, all in one sleek, convenient system.

They are ideal for high-end environments such as boardrooms and showrooms, where style, convenience, and quality are paramount.
