Water supply can be bottled or from your water line. Often, tap water isn’t clean because when passing through pipes, especially if pipes are old, many bacteria and heavy metals are released into the water.
Therefore, people started to filter water or buy bottled one. In both situations, you should have a device that will help with its dispensing. Some of these products can cool or heat the water so you can have an instant cold or hot meals or drinks.
In this review, we will focus on bottled water. Costumer often buys large bottles of 2 to 5 gallons of water because it wants to have enough water for at least 2 weeks. These bottles are therefore often big and heavy and dispensing water from them to little cups is often messy and complicated.
Because of that manufacturer developed 5-gallon water dispensers that can be designed as pumps that are loaded on the bottles or as crock so you load bottle on them. Both are very user-friendly because you just have to push control faucet and you can fill your cup with the amount of water you want, without spilling. Also, there are models which cool and dispense the water.
Many 5-gallon water bottle dispensers are manual so you can take it anywhere because you do not depend on electricity which is very practical for road trips or other outdoor activities. 5-gallon water cooler dispensers can help you in summer when you are going camping or picnic because they allow you to have a large amount of cold water with you that would not get warm.
The ones that are crocked shaped are perfect for kitchen work surfaces because they look pretty and fit to kitchen interior. They save a lot of space on tables which is very practical. In this review, we will represent to you models of 5-gallon water dispensers and their design, mechanisms and technical specifications.
