[Avex] Cooler Bottles

Top loading coolers are easy to set up with no plumbing or complicated parts. Since the water bottle is visible, you can always see how much water is left, so there’s no surprise when the jug runs dry.

Many Brio top loading models include advanced features like tri-temperature dispensing (hot, cold, and room temp water) and UV self-cleaning. They work with both 3- and 5-gallon bottles and require very little maintenance, making them a smart choice for garages, kitchens, and workspaces.

A bottled water cooler is a device that dispenses water from a large plastic bottle placed on top of the cooler, which needs to be replaced periodically when empty. It provides a convenient and readily available source of drinking water for homes, offices, and gyms, especially in areas where tap water may be a concern. Bottled water coolers can dispense hot and cold water. They often have a built-in refrigeration and heating unit to keep the water chilled or dispense hot water.

Bottled water coolers have two main designs — top-load and bottom load. Top load models require you to lift the water bottle and place it upside down onto the unit. They utilize gravity to feed the water into the dispensing system. Bottom load models offer a more convenient alternative by eliminating the need for heavy lifting. These models house the bottle in a lower compartment. Some bottled water coolers also have an ice-making feature.

The primary difference between bottled and tap water is that you purchase bottled water from a distributor, while tap water is readily available at a home or office. Tap water is treated with infiltration and disinfection (often as chlorine) to meet safety standards. On the other hand, bottled water undergoes filtration, reverse osmosis, or other treatments, depending on the brand.

It depends on your needs. Top loading coolers use gravity for water flow, so they’re budget-friendly. Bottom load models use a pump to move water up to the heating and cooling reservoirs, so they’re a little pricier. Choose the one that suits your preferences.
