Bottleless water coolers draw water from a building’s existing water line. The water passes through several stages of filtration where contaminants, harmful levels of bacteria, taste, and odors are removed, leaving freshly filtered, great-tasting water. The water is then separated into two different reservoirs that are equipped with either a heating or cooling element. When you push a button or activate touchless dispensing, they release either an instant hot or cold stream of water, depending on your preference.
