An Introduction to Water Coolers
Mains-fed water coolers are a wonderful source of filtered, tasty and hygienic water. There is a versatile range of options to choose from, meaning you are sure to find the right product for any environment.
BRITA watercooler options include:
- Countertop dispensers
- Floor standing dispensers
- Tap system dispensers
Similar to floor standing and countertop water coolers, here at BRITA we offer tap water systems too. Our tap water systems are sleek, smart and stylish. They feature a brushed stainless-steel designer tap with a glass touch panel.
Below, we examine the variety of excellent benefits BRITA freestanding and tap system water dispensers have to offer.
The advantages of tap and freestanding dispensers include:
Perfect for any environment
As we have mentioned, water coolers are a great addition to a workspace. Choosing a cooler for your office, healthcare environment, or restaurant provides employees and guests with mains-fed hot, cold, and sparkling water on demand. It is notable that according to a study by The University of East London, "water supplementation positively affects cognitive performance in children and adults." Proving the importance of supplying water for hydration in a workplace or educational facility.
The BRITA VIVREAU Top Pro water dispenser is a great fit for offices and manufacturing sites. It offers four refreshing types of water, includes premium hygiene features and is easily accessible for those in wheelchairs as it has barrier-free access.

Focus on sustainability
Drinking water systems, floor standing systems and countertop water coolers are a very efficient way of doing your bit for the environment. Installing one of these sustainable solutions encourages the use of reusable water bottles. As you can fill up a reusable bottle with water from a dispenser, both freestanding and tap systems, this drastically reduces the wastage of single-use plastic.

Choosing the right system for your needs
There are a lot of beneficial crossovers when it comes to tap water systems and water coolers as they are all mains-fed, help sustainability, offer several types of water, and feature the latest in filtration and hygiene technology. However, tap water systems are notably smaller than freestanding dispensers and also provide a sleeker design. So, if space is something you are conscious of, a tap water system might be the one for you. Ultimately, the choice comes down to you and your needs. We suggest picking a water cooler or tap to suit your space.
Whichever water source you decide is the right fit, make sure to look at the BRITA service and maintenance options in the product descriptions. There is a range of service options available from the BRITA dedicated customer care and national engineering team.
