Product details

Reduce contaminants

Culligan Quench point-of-use ice and water dispensers use advanced filtration and sanitization technologies like carbon filtration, reverse osmosis, UV sanitization, and antimicrobial surface protection to remove sediment, reduce lead and other chemicals, and get rid of off-tastes and odors.

Reduce waste

Bagging ice and bottling water is not only expensive, it’s wasteful. Culligan Quench bottleless ice machines and water coolers reduce plastic waste and the pollution of ice and water delivery by filtering your building’s own drinking water using point-of-use filtration.

Reduce hassles

From consultation to maintenance, we’ve got you covered with national coverage and a dedicated contact person to manage your water and ice needs, giving you more time to focus on your business.

Reduce costs

By filtering water straight from your building’s pipes using point-of-use filtration technologies, you skip the costs and waste of bagging and packaging ice and water. Culligan Quench bottleless ice rentals eliminate hidden costs by charging a single, all-inclusive monthly fee.
