Information On Water Dispensers For Your Home

Water dispensers for home are devices used to heat and/or cool water and dispense it as required. They provide access to large quantities of bottled or purified water and may be used to replace regular individual bottles of water or water filters in the home.

Some water dispensers for home on the market usually require some form of power to handle the heating and cooling, and have the ability to reduce the number of plastic bottles disposed in landfills and the ocean each year. They usually use large, often five-gallon, jugs of water that are recyclable. Water dispensers for home may or may not use the cup dispenser that is usually mounted on the device to keep paper or plastic disposable cups.

When shopping for water dispensers for home, it is important to research the various features to find out which one is most suitable for your specific home needs. Some of the less complicated ones may fit into a refrigerator or on a table top or sink. Some are equipped with water filters and other advanced filtration systems to reduce contaminants, and some even have special handles for ease of mobility around the house. Some water dispensers for home have a push button function to select hot or cold water and some are equipped with a child safety guard on the hot water faucet. Others are equipped with adjustable height levers and removable drip trays. A little manpower may be required to install and lift the larger water bottles, but general assembly is quite easy and straightforward.

With doctors and health and fitness gurus advising that eight glasses of water per person is a daily requirement, water dispensers for home should help in promoting more consumption of water, especially amongst children, for whom the water cooler characteristic might be considered a neat accessory in the kitchen, basement, or play room.

Typically, prices for water dispensers for home range from $30 for small energy saving dispensers, to over $120 for free standing full-size water dispensers. The choice of which one to buy is definitely dependent on specific needs and functionality required.

If every year over 14 billion pounds plastic cups, bottles, cans and other trash end up in the ocean, which end up washing up on the beaches, water dispensers for home will no doubt assist in reducing the number of water bottles that suffer this fate. Water dispensers for home are definitely worth considering as a greener alternative to individual plastic bottles of water.
