Water Dispenser – Overview

A water dispenser, also known as a water cooler, is a device that chills and distributes water. It is plugged into the mains and offers a constant flow of cold, hot, and boiling water. The two types of water coolers offered are bottleless water coolers and bottled water coolers. The unit that is attached to the mains supplies water through a refrigeration unit that continuously provides water. Aside from providing cooled water, numerous product variants coupled with a heater tank are used to provide users with hot or boiling water. Water is often dispensed from a source via a tap or spigot ,via a button or knob. Whether employing bottleless or bottled water coolers, users simply press a button or turn a knob to dispense water into the funnel. These dispensers are widely used in residential and commercial buildings because of their ease of use and installation, minimal maintenance costs, and portability.
