Pro Tips to Consider while choosing a Water Dispenser 

Below are 6 things you should consider while shopping for a dispenser. 

1. Check the size and type
2. Check the Purification mechanism 
3. Check its features
4. Is it easy to clean and use?
5. How much power does it consume? 
6. Customer Care

1. Check the size and type

Depending on the number of people who will use the dispenser, you will have to choose the size. If you have a big family, you should order a larger one while for 2-3 people a smaller one is easier to maintain. If you want a dispenser for your office, you should look into an automatic option. That way you can save time in a busy environment.  

There are point-of-use water dispensers that can be connected to your main water supply for a direct and convenient water supply throughout the day. These dispensers are available in countertop and standing form, so you can choose what works for you.  Gallon water dispensers are another option you can go for which require you to change the bottle frequently and are a great option if you don’t require a large continuous supply.  

2. Check the Purification mechanism

Water dispensers may or may not purify water. For that matter, you can choose a dispenser based on the water supply in your area. If you live in a region where the water supply is fast and water quality is high then a dispenser that doesn’t filter water would be fine. 

In contrast, if you live in an area that doesn’t offer good quality water then you should focus on a dispenser that offers an efficient purification system. Certain water dispensers that offer filtration, use the method of Reverse Osmosis which works really well and water from such dispensers can be used directly without further steps. 

3. Check its features

With technological advancements, we can see improvements in every device and the same goes for dispensers. Not only do they provide a quick supply of water but some come with a heating and cooling system, some offer ice while some even offer a mini-fridge! 

So when you go out to buy a dispenser, make sure you check the features it provides so you don’t miss anything important or don’t go overboard on such a simple device. 

4. Is it easy to clean and use?

Once you buy a dispenser, you have to clean and maintain it. That step becomes easy if your choice of a dispenser is right.  To ensure you get a clean supply of water without much worry, make sure the nozzle and filter are easy to clean and accessible. Check the design and see if it’s stable and also check for the child lock feature to avoid unwanted water spillage. 

A drawback to the gallon water dispenser is that the use of plastic bottles is not very healthy as chemicals from the plastic bottle can leach into the water and are very harmful to your health. Thus a point-of-use water dispenser is a great choice if you want to drink healthy, plus you won’t have to change the bottle repeatedly. 

5. How much power does it consume? 

Dispensers are electronic devices that take up electricity and so, considering energy efficiency, becomes important especially if you have a limited budget. You not only pay for the dispenser but you have to keep in mind its maintenance cost and electricity bills as well. 

Dispensers with heating and cooling features take in a lot of power. For that reason make sure to check the compressor size and type. If you want to save electricity you should consider an option without the cooling and heating feature. You might not even need cooling and heating depending on your region so make sure you choose accordingly. 

6. Customer Care

Lastly, you should look into the quality of customer care provided by the company. As an electronic device, your dispenser has a lifetime and its features will require assistance to work for an extended period. Check for a warranty card and assistance in case the device breaks down or stops working after you have purchased it. 

Check for installation, return, and maintenance policies along with customer service guidelines of the company to avoid issues in the future.
