Education facilities face unique challenges when making sure staff and students alike are kept hydrated throughout the day. From busy break periods to sports facilities where hydration needs to be kept high, your water cooler for schools needs to be able to stand up to demand. You also need to be able to trust those who are coming into your education facility for safeguarding reasons.
Some of the main considerations when choosing a water cooler for education settings are:
Durability – machines need to be able to hold up to heavy daily use from students of all ages
Hygiene and maintenance – with regular use, you need to be sure that machines are kept in a hygienic state
Trusted engineers – many education facilities require visitors to have enhanced disclosures to make sure they are safe to have in your environment
Compliance with regulation – being a part of water industry bodies can provide you with reassurance that your supplier knows what they are doing
ArcticChill 108
The ArcticChill 108 mains-fed water cooler only dispenses cold water, making it simple to operate and easier to maintain. With a simple touch button operation, the design has been tried and tested to withstand heavy use periods.
Being a mains-fed water cooler, it is plumbed into your mains supply, meaning there is no need to replace bottles when water runs out. This also makes it a more sustainable option for many education settings.
With a 29cm dispensing height, the ArcticChill 108 can comfortably fit most sports bottles, making it ideal for schools and universities with sports facilities.
Aquapoint 60B
A cost-effective water cooler for schools, the Aquapoint 60B can be both plumbed in and bottled, allowing it to fit into a range of spaces around your site. With an easy wipe finish, it is easy to maintain on a daily basis.
The push paddle taps allow for easy dispense without having to push any buttons, making it a more hygienic option for high-traffic areas.
With a range of water dispensing options — ambient and chilled, or chilled and hot — it is an ideal workplace water cooler for staff rooms and corridors alike.
Aquality
If you need a high-capacity water cooler with a range of dispensing options, the Aquality is a great choice. With a sleek design, it is a more premium option for education environments.
With a capacity of 28 litres of chilled water per hour, it keeps up with high levels of demand easily. Available in both mains-fed and bottled water cooler varieties, it can be installed in nearly all spaces so long as there is a power connection.
Font 50
The Font 50 water fountain is a great option for those needing a high-capacity machine without requiring chilled water. Plumbed into your mains supply, the water is filtered and dispensed straight away, meaning it doesn't require time to chill.
With a built-in LED counter, it shows exactly how many bottles have been saved from landfill by refilling using the Font 50. This makes it a strong choice for schools and universities looking to demonstrate their environmental commitments.
Filtration
All of our water coolers and fountains come with water filters installed as standard, meaning your water supply is always at the highest standard of hygiene. Having filtration included as part of the cost also means there are no hidden extras.
