Once a water cooler has been installed, it’s easy to take it for granted. Employees fill their bottles and glasses throughout the day and, providing cold water continues to flow, you might assume everything is working exactly as it should.

However, just like other equipment within your workplace, water coolers benefit from regular professional servicing and sanitisation.

Keeping Your Water Cooler Hygienic

Water coolers are used by multiple people throughout the working day, making regular cleaning and sanitisation particularly important.

Areas around taps, dispensing points and drip trays can all be touched frequently. A professional service gives these areas the attention they need while also taking care of components that aren’t necessarily accessible during everyday cleaning.

Maintaining Water Quality

The main purpose of your cooler is to provide fresh, great-tasting drinking water.

Regular maintenance helps ensure your system continues to perform effectively. For plumbed-in systems, this can also include checking and replacing filtration components when required.

Identifying Problems Early

Not every issue results in a water cooler suddenly stopping altogether.

Changes in water temperature, unusual noises, leaks or reduced water flow can indicate that something isn’t quite right.

Routine servicing provides an opportunity to identify potential problems before they develop into more disruptive faults.

Helping Your Equipment Perform Properly

A well-maintained water cooler should provide reliable service for your workplace day after day.

Regular maintenance helps ensure components are working correctly and gives your supplier an opportunity to spot signs of wear that may need attention.

This can be particularly important in busy workplaces where a water cooler receives heavy daily use.

What Happens During a Water Cooler Service?

The exact process will depend on the type and model of your water cooler, but professional servicing can include cleaning and sanitising the system, inspecting components, checking operation and replacing relevant filters where required.

Your engineer can also identify any maintenance issues that need further attention.

Everyday Cleaning Still Matters

Professional servicing doesn’t replace good everyday housekeeping.

Businesses should keep the area surrounding their cooler clean and regularly empty and clean removable drip trays where appropriate. Employees should also avoid touching bottle openings or dispensing nozzles.

Combining everyday care with scheduled professional servicing helps keep your workplace hydration system in good condition.
