Choosing a water dispenser for an office covers more ground than most people expect. Options now include ice cubes, instant hot water, carbonated water, and alkalized water — from a compact entry-level unit for a front office up to a high-output Executive Icemaker serving an entire factory floor.
Determining Capacity and Demand
Start by counting users and making sure you have enough chilled capacity for a hot afternoon in July. Our most popular cooler chills 0.7 gallons per hour. The Executive Icemaker serves up to forty people a day with both ice and water.
Five Things We’ve Learned Since 1993
- Not all filtration coolers are equal. Quality varies enormously. After servicing more than 15,000 water coolers, we know which equipment holds up and which doesn’t.
- Know your water source. Northern Nevada has both excellent and genuinely difficult water depending on where you are, and filtration needs differ accordingly.
- Know your demand. Size for peak use, not average, or you’ll run out exactly when people need it.
- Location matters. Placement determines whether people actually use it.
- Service matters most. Regular maintenance is the difference between a cooler that lasts and one that becomes a complaint.
Water Source and Quality
Northern Nevada’s water varies widely. Whether you’re drawing from the Truckee River, a blend of river and well water, or dealing with the harder water in outlying areas, the filtration needs to match the source.
Our reverse osmosis systems purify up to 99%, and an alkalinity filter is available as an option where a customer prefers higher-pH water.
Installation and Maintenance
Installing a cooler is about as involved as running a computer cable, and we can site units up to 1,000 feet from the supply. Supply lines are quarter-inch flexible NSF-approved UV-resistant poly tubing.
Every cooler carries a service sticker showing when it was last serviced. Cleaning, inspection, and sanitation happen every four months, with a full annual service included in the monthly fee.
From Small Offices to Naval Air Stations
Our clients range from single-room offices to one-million-square-foot warehouses. Once a business switches from bottled delivery, they rarely go back — the cost saving, the environmental improvement, and the convenience all point the same way.
NAS Fallon selected us to install over 900 point-of-use water coolers to address high mineral content and arsenic in their supply. It remains one of the largest installations of its kind in the region.
