More and more people are investing in home water coolers these days, which is a great idea for the family, especially if there are children, because we all need water to survive and function at peak and children need even more to help them grow big and strong.
A home water cooler will also encourage the whole family to drink less carbonated drinks, coffee and other fluids that are not that healthy for one. If you get a top-of-the-range water cooler that dispenses cold, ambient and hot water you can even use it to make your quick morning coffee and hot chocolate in the winter.
Having a water cooler at home is also great during the hot summer months and when you have company around, as it means that you don’t have to find space in the fridge for a water jug or in the freezer for ice.
How To Choose a Water Cooler for Your Home
It is important to choose the right water cooler when purchasing one for home; just buying one from your local homeware store is not the best option, especially when there are such great ones on the market from which to choose.
Here are some things to take into consideration before making a choice:
Space
It is important to decide where your water cooler will be placed in your home as this will help you to decide whether a countertop, freestanding or undercounter model will best suit you. Most water coolers require around 40cmx 40cm of space. The other space consideration is regarding bottles – if you get a bottled water cooler you will need sufficient space for both empty and full water bottles.
Spring or Filtered Water
Some models can provide you with filtered water while others, such as the Living-Water Bottled Water Coolers dispense spring water.
Water Temperature
Do you only want chilled water or would you prefer a model that supplies cold, hot and ambient water? While these models are great, they use more electricity, which might be a consideration.
Other considerations are cost, style, and looks. Basic models may not be that stylish, but will cost less; styled and branded models cost more but come with more advantages. Choose well and you will be very happy with your investment for years to come.
