A water dispenser is a machine designed to supply purified drinking water. It separates impurities from the water while preserving its color and taste. Water dispensers have additional features that help improve drinking water quality. They are easy to use by simply pressing a button to release water into a cup or glass.
Dispensers can provide both hot and cold water. The cooling system uses refrigeration to chill the water. The heating system utilizes a heating element or hot water tank to warm the water.
Water dispensers are commonly located near restrooms for easier access to plumbing. They connect to a drain line into the sewer system.
Bottled water dispensers function similarly. An upside-down five-gallon water bottle placed in the tank supplies the dispenser. Bottled water dispensers give the option of water quality for those unable to connect to a main water line.
Water dispensers improve drinking water quality by reducing contaminants available in tap water. They facilitate easy access to clean water. Water dispensers benefit health and environment by providing filtered water while using less energy than traditional water coolers.
