Should I Buy or Rent a Water Cooler?

There’s no denying that it’s a good idea to have a water cooler. Whether it’s for your home, office, school, construction site, clinic waiting room or wherever; it never hurts to have convenient access to chilled/boiling water.

Studies show that even a 1-2% decrease in hydration levels can have a negative impact on cognitive performance, while increased water intake boosts productivity by 14%. Providing your staff with a nice, chilled cup of water any time they want it, or boiled water for coffee/tea and soup, is good for business. It’s also good for morale, and typically results in people drinking less soft drinks and unhealthy alternatives to water.

So, we’ve established that installing a quality water cooler is a no-brainer. But is it better to hire one or purchase one?

The benefits of buying a bottom loading water cooler for home or the office

If you’re going to keep it long term, then it will probably work out much cheaper to simply purchase the water cooler outright.

As an example, Big Springs Natural Spring Water sells free-standing and benchtop water coolers for $275. You can hire these same water coolers annually for $99, but if you’re planning to keep it in your home or office for 2.5 years or longer, then it works out cheaper to buy it.

This way it’s yours forever, and you also save yourself the hassle of making monthly payments. There’s no contract involved in purchasing something outright, so zero strings are attached.

This is the better option if you know you’re only staying somewhere short term. Some good examples of this are:

• You’ve signed a six-month lease in a house, at which point you’ll be moving
• Temporary office relocation due to renovations
• A construction site for a building that will be completed in three months’ time

With water cooler rentals, you can rest assured that it’s made with quality parts, as it’s obviously not in a business’s best interests to constantly be repairing their clients’ water coolers/replacing parts.

Also, servicing is free with most providers. One of the many benefits to hiring a water cooler from Big Springs Natural Spring Water is that it remains fully guaranteed for the duration of your rental.

We’ll come to your home or workplace and carry out efficient repairs/replacements any time you experience a problem with the water cooler or its accessories. This might be preferable to buying a water cooler if you don’t want the responsibility of upkeep and maintenance.
