In any office, workplace, or public space, a well-positioned water cooler gives your staff, customers, and visitors a chance to refresh and hydrate. But like any other appliance, water coolers need regular maintenance and servicing to keep them in tip-top condition and deliver fully filtered, great-tasting water every time. Here are our top five reasons why a regular office water dispenser service is essential.

An office water dispenser service gives you:

1). A clean and hygienic water cooler

Keeping your office water dispenser clean and hygienic is essential for the health and well-being of every person using it. Over time, water coolers will get a build-up of certain bacteria and other contaminants that could affect the quality of the water. Regular servicing, including thorough cleaning and sanitisation, helps remove any grime and dirt to ensure the water is clean and safe, reducing the risk of waterborne illnesses and promoting a healthy workplace environment.

2). An extended water cooler lifespan

Regular maintenance and servicing will significantly extend the lifespan of your office water dispenser while helping to identify any potential issues along the way. From checking for leaks to replacing filters, regular servicing means your water cooler operates smoothly and efficiently and minimises downtime due to unexpected faults or breakdowns.

3). Improved water quality

Even if your mains-fed office water dispenser has a built-in filtration system, checking and replacing the filters is essential for the best water quality. Over time, filters will become clogged with sediments, trace plastics, and other impurities, compromising their effectiveness. With a scheduled service programme, your filtration system will work correctly, giving everyone fresh, great-tasting water free from contaminants, nasty odours, and chemical tastes.

4). Extended pipework maintenance

In addition to servicing the office water dispenser itself, if you’re currently using a mains-fed water cooler, it's important to ensure the pipework is in good shape. While this is only required every few years, the maintenance involves inspecting and cleaning the pipework and fittings that run from your mains water supply to your cooler. This process will ensure smooth water flow and quality while minimising the risk of blockages or leaks. 

5). Satisfaction and productivity

Having convenient access to clean, safe, and refreshing water is essential for productivity at work. A regular office water dispenser service means prioritising your employees' health and well-being. Drinking water and staying properly hydrated throughout the day can improve cognitive function, concentration, and overall mood, among other important benefits, leading to higher productivity and job satisfaction.
