Water Dispenser disadvantages

What is a water dispenser?

Basically, any system which dispenses water for drinking can be called a water dispenser. What image actually comes up in your mind would depend on your upbringing, where you work/study, and how actively the water dispenser manufacturers/sellers are in advertising their wares in your locality.

Generally, if you are still studying in a college, or working in a large company, your image of a water dispenser is that of a free-standing water cooler connected to a water pipe. In a small shop, a clinic or the reception area, a water is probably dispensed from a large 5-gallon water bottle. In many small offices, water dispensers could even be a simple "air pot", constantly topped up with water from the toilet tap, which keeps water heated for making coffee.

Besides dispensing water, most systems also heat or chill the water. Tap-fed water dispensers may also include various filters to purify the water of contaminants, or may have some means of disinfecting their water supply.

Their disadvantages:

• If there is a heater or cooler, you still need a nearby electrical socket to plug in the bottled water dispenser.
• If you run out of water bottles, there is a delay and extra charge to deliver more bottles.
• You need space to store the bottles (both the filled bottles as well as the empty bottles).
• Lugging a 5-gallon water bottle into its correct position on the water dispenser is no joking matter. This type of water dispenser is NOT a good choice for an office full of nerdy computer programmers. Neither is it a good choice for an office full of elderly clerks.
• An expensive choice if you live in a rural area away from the usual delivery routes.
• If you choose to be supplied with mineral water, there is a possibility of contamination. In the past few years, there have been reports of groundwater contamination in the artesian wells which usually supply the cheaper brands of mineral water. The contamination comes from industrial areas, farms and oil/gas drilling activities near the wells used by the water supplier.
• Pure water treated using distillation or reverse osmosis have all their essential minerals stripped away.
