Environmental Benefits Of POU Water Coolers

The expanding market for mains connected (POU) water coolers points to rising consumer awareness of their environmental and health benefits, says the UK’s leading water cooler supplier, Pressure Coolers.

The market for POU coolers has grown by 23% this year according to recent research by Zenith International Ltd. This growing popularity can only be explained by the fact that more and more people are recognizing the environmental and health benefits of having a mains connected water cooler installed in their home or office, rather than a traditional bottled water cooler.

A mains connected cooler draws all its water from the mains and never runs out. The water is passed through a 0.5 micron filter, eliminating contaminants and removing the chlorine which is so often added to tap water. All POU users can be totally confident in the purity of their water.

No delivery or storage of bottles is required, reducing the number of delivery lorries on the roads, and making POU coolers a more environmentally friendly option than the more usual bottled water coolers. Manual handling issues associated with heavy bottles are also avoided so that office health and safety officers can breathe a sigh of relief.

Not only that, but POU coolers are actually more hygienic than bottled water coolers which brings health benefits to the users. Matthew Mitchison, director of Pressure Coolers says “A POU cooler is an entirely hygienic, clean, self contained system. By contrast, water cooler bottles have plenty of contact with human hands during loading and bottle changes. Also, storing them on the floor lets them gather dust and storage in bright sunlight can encourage bacterial growth.”

Mains connected water coolers can deliver refrigerated, hot or sparking water on demand. Additional benefits are that they are highly cost effective and quarterly invoicing allows the user to budget for their costs in advance.
