Water dispensers and coolers are a necessity for the office, and a joy to have in the home. Supplying cool drinking water or hot water for drinks, soups, coffee, and tea, the water dispenser is a product that every office needs in order to keep employees happy and healthy! What many people don’t know is that water coolers that are not specifically made with energy-saving qualifications can create an unnecessary waste of electrical power and costs. The way around this is to be sure you have, or are purchasing, a water dispenser brand that has been approved by Energy Star.
An Energy Star approved water dispenser uses respectively half of the amount of energy that a typical, unapproved water dispenser will use. Here are just a few of the included benefits that an energy-reserving model features:
Thorough Separation of Hot and Cold Water:
Energy Star ensures that there is not one single tank or reservoir housing all the water together. This will waste energy as it means that the mixed water is most likely close to room temperature, meaning it will need to either be heated or cooled at the time of dispensing.
Better Insulation for Increased Hot and Cold Retention
Water dispensers featuring stainless steel water reservoirs are not only long-lasting, but will preserve the freshness, purity, and temperatures of your water while it is still in the dispenser. The “plastic” taste in water dispensed from inexpensively designed units will not exist with this kind of water dispensers. The stainless steel reservoirs prevent residue from forming on the interior walls, and the reservoir walls will not wear down and disintegrate. Plus, an interior stainless steel construction will not alter the taste or freshness of the water quality whatsoever. With this durable reservoir material, the temperature of the stored water is maintained for an extended amount of time, saving energy that would be needed to reheat or cool the water again when it is ready to be dispensed.
High End Chilling Methods:
CFC-free, high efficiency compressor or thermoelectric systems, and advanced semi-conductor cooling technology, allow for plenty of cooling without the high costs. CFC refrigerant (chlorofluorocarbon refrigerant) was phased out by the EPA in 1996, and newer, more environmentally friendly methods of refrigeration have taken its place. Compressor systems are extremely efficient, but are somewhat louder than the extremely quiet, thermoelectric systems. The semi-conductor systems are known for quick operation. All of these types of water cooling methods ensure significantly lower power consumption than all others.
