Caring for your water cooler is relatively easy; wiping down the outside of the water cooler with a damp cloth will generally keep it clean, and many models of water coolers have auto-sanitisation buttons or other self-sanitising features to ensure that any parts of the water cooler that comes in contact with the water are sterilised – at no cost.
There are also other ways to care for your water cooler, such as ensuring that you purchase quality water cooler accessories from a reputable dealer such as Living-Water.
Living-Water supplies a range of water cooler accessories, including the following:
POU Water Filter – Living-Water has a range of HYDRO+ In-Line filters featuring carbon block, silverised GAC, sediment and media filter options; most versions also have a scale inhibitor. Living-Water filters are injection moulded polypropylene manufactured in the UK.
Bottle Covers – Living-Water’s range of bottle covers keep your drinking water cool, fresh and crisp as well as prevent the formation of algae that can occur when a water cooler is exposed to direct sunlight for even part of the day.
Bottle Racks – Bottle Racks are a good idea if you are using a bottled water cooler as they can keep your bottles stored neatly while minimising the space needed to store all bottles. Stands can hold three bottles.
Cooler Cups – Living-Water offers a range of high-quality 9Oz transparent blue cups that can be used for either hot or cold drinks and which are endorsed by the UK’s leading authority on cup recycling, the Save-A-Cup scheme.
Ultra-Absorbent Cooler Mats – Living-Water’s cooler mats measure 60 x 90 cm and can absorb up to 5 litres of water which will deal with any unavoidable splashes and spills around the water cooler and are available in red and grey.
Something that may not be strictly an accessory but is also worth looking into is the easy-to-use cordial sticks called SquashStix, which are 100% natural and come in Orange or Apple & Blackcurrant and are easy to add to your drinking water.
