Point of Use/Bottleless vs. Top/Bottom Loading

The biggest challenge when choosing a sustainable water source at home is deciding whether a point of use/bottleless or gallon jugs are ideal. Both options feature easy access to hot and cold water but the method of where the water is sourced differs entirely.

Point of Use/Bottleless

Simplicity at its finest, Point of Use (POU) Coolers utilize various filtration methods but need a reliable and consistent source of water. Brio Tri-Temp Reverse Osmosis Dispenser is ideal to transform tap water to a refreshing and satisfying hydrating experience. The dispenser filters through multiple stages of filtration and features a Reverse Osmosis Membrane, which is a fine semipermeable membrane that removes major contaminants. The filters do require to be replaced after so many months, depending entirely on how frequently you refill on filtered water, so Brio conveniently created filter replacement kits. The replacement kits are entirely user-friendly and feature quick installation, so maintenance is a breeze. The RO System does requires a drain line to dispose of the wastewater, so a sewer line or a method to dispense the wastewater is needed. When the clean water has been separated from the wastewater, it travels into the stainless-steel reservoirs where the water tanks cool and heat water to the perfect temperature.
