A reliable office water cooler is essential for keeping employees hydrated, healthy, and productive. But like any other office equipment, water coolers don’t last forever. An outdated or malfunctioning cooler can impact water quality, energy efficiency, and overall workplace wellness.
At Document Solutions, we help New Jersey businesses upgrade to eco-friendly bottleless water coolers that deliver cleaner, better-tasting water while eliminating the hassle of bottled deliveries. Here are five signs your office water cooler may need replacing.
1. Your Office Water Tastes or Smells Off
A strange taste, odor, or aftertaste can indicate that your cooler’s filtration system is failing. This could allow impurities, minerals, or PFAS contaminants to remain in your water.
The Solution:
Switch to a filtered bottleless water cooler that removes contaminants and ensures consistently fresh, great-tasting water. Learn more about our filtered water cooler options.
2. Visible Buildup or Staining
Mineral deposits, mold, or residue inside the dispenser are not just unsightly, they are a warning sign that your water cooler may be unsanitary.
The Solution:
Upgrade to a sealed, low-maintenance bottleless water cooler with advanced filtration that prevents buildup and keeps water safe and clean from the source to the tap.
3. Leaks or Drips Around the Cooler
Even minor leaks can cause water damage, create slippery floors, and waste water and money over time.
The Solution:
Modern bottleless water systems connect directly to your building’s water line and feature leak prevention technology to protect your office while providing a continuous water supply.
4. Frequent Bottle Changes or Delivery Hassles
If your team spends time swapping heavy water jugs or waiting for deliveries, you’re losing productivity and incurring unnecessary costs.
The Solution:
A bottleless water cooler eliminates heavy lifting and recurring deliveries, providing an unlimited supply of filtered water directly from your tap.
5. High Energy Bills
Older water coolers often run continuously, consuming excessive electricity and driving up operating costs.
The Solution:
Upgrade to an energy-efficient water cooler with smart temperature controls, reducing energy usage while keeping your office hydrated.
