The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Best Water Dispenser for Your Home

Families who are committed to a healthy lifestyle will focus daily on hydration. However, due to busy lifestyles and environmental concerns, purchasing bottled water on a regular basis is not a viable option for many families. This is why using a water dispenser is a smart and environmentally conscious choice for many families, rather than simply being convenient. With a water dispenser, families can stay hydrated throughout the day, whether they prefer to drink hot water in the morning or chilled water following strenuous exercise.

Understanding Different Types of Water Dispensers

Consider your options before choosing your ideal water dispenser. Systems can be divided into two categories: bottled and bottleless. Each has its own disadvantages and advantages. Frequent trips to refill the 3-5 gallon bottle that is required by bottled water dispensers is one of them. There are two styles to choose from for bottom-loading and top-loading water coolers. You don’t have to pay as much for top-loading, but bottom-loading dispensers, like the ones from the Manastin series, make it so that you don’t have to lift the bottle at all, as it is concealed at the bottom of the unit.

In addition, when it comes to getting water for a home, you have the ability to hook up a bottleless water dispenser directly to your plumbing and take advantage of the built-in filtration systems that will ensure the water being dispensed is always clean. While the initial investment for these types of dispensers is more than that of a traditional water cooler with bottles, it eliminates the need to store and change out empty water bottles, thus reducing your overall environmental impact. Countertop water dispensers are a great option for homes where there is ample kitchen cupboard space available because they allow for a cleaner look on the floor and can be installed at a lower height (i.e., at least knee level). However, if you have a larger home, the stand-alone models provide more options for space and replacement part choices.

Key Features to Consider in a Home Water Dispenser

Temperature Options: Beyond Basic Hydration

Most current water dispensers now come equipped with several different temperature settings. Depending on the type of unit you select, you may have access to multiple temperature settings (e.g., room temp & 190 degrees F) or just one (room temp). If caffeine is an important part of your daily diet, consider purchasing a water dispenser that provides water at a very high temperature. If you frequently drink hot beverages or prepare fast meals, be sure to purchase one that offers water at a minimum of 190 degrees Fahrenheit.

Capacity and Size Considerations

The capacity of your water dispenser should be based on how large it is and where you live. If you are a single person or a small family, a small 3-gallon/12-liter model can be enough. If you're a larger household, then going with a 5-gallon/20-liter unit makes sense. Once you've determined what type of water dispenser best fits your needs based on where you plan on putting it and the amount of liquid you're planning on having, you'll need to consider the difference between countertop models and freestanding models. Countertop models usually take up less floor space than freestanding models, but freestanding models typically allow for more capacity and more functionality.

Health and Safety Features

Modern water dispensers prioritize safety and hygiene. Look for models with child safety locks on hot water taps, which are especially important for families with young children. Consider units that include built-in filtration systems to remove pollutants such as chlorine, silt, and strange flavors. Some premium models, such as Manastin's UltraHyde range, incorporate UV-CLEAN technology, which automatically disinfects the interior, ensuring that your water stays clean without effort.

Ease of Maintenance

It is a necessity that every water dispenser be maintained regularly. The drip tray and other internal parts of bottled models must be cleaned often, while filter replacement in bottle-free water dispensers is required once every six to twelve months, on average, based on usage. Ozone and UV technology have greatly reduced the amount of required maintenance for self-cleaning water dispensers, making them a preferred solution for busy families.
