5 Problems With Bottled Water Coolers & Why Point Of Use Filtration Systems Make More Sense

Feb. 2, 2013 - PRLog -- What do you expect when you go over to the office water cooler for a drink?

Are you expecting clean, healthy, pristine water as is pictured on the bottle's label?

Well, brace yourselves folks, this is rarely the case.

Don't believe it? Not surprising since the bottled water company monopoly spends a ridiculous amount of money on ongoing marketing and advertising developed to deceive and convince consumers that the water is derived from mountain springs and is actually pure and healthy.

Before we even dive into the numerous problems with these bottled water coolers - let's first recognize the proven fact that up to 50% of the 5 gallon bottles of water are actually bottled TAP water. Perhaps before you read on you should check the label on the cap of your bottle. You may be shocked to find the words "Municipal water source" right there on the top. Now on to the other problems...

The first problem with the illusion created by the bottled water company monopoly lies in the bottle itself. Since it is 2013, I am quite confident that you have heard of BPA and of the numerous movements to have it banned in the use of beverage containers. At the very least I am sure you have seen "BPA Free" on a food container at some point. BPA (Bisphenol A) is a chemical found in the plastic bottles that has been proven to leach into the water more often than not. BPA has been linked to a variety of health problems including Cancer and Heart Disease, as well as reproductive issues.

Second problem, bottled water coolers work by gravity, hence placing the bottle upside down on top of the dispenser. As the water is drawn from the bottle it is replaced by air. What is in the air surrounding your cooler? Take a moment to ponder that - because whatever is in the air in your environment is surely introduced into the water. Think of the bottled water coolers you see in a doctor's waiting room, or a hospital... think of the coughs and sneezes filling the air surrounding the cooler.

Let's say that somehow your cooler is located in a sterile environment and that no airborne contaminants are introduced. That would mean your water only contains BPA and is otherwise pure, right? Wrong. The third problem is that the water sits stagnant in a plastic reservoir. This creates a breeding ground for bacteria. If you have ever looked inside your cooler when the bottle is off you have surely seen the slimy bacterial build-up which is known as bio-film. Sure you may clean it out every once and a while, or perhaps even regularly, but that does not mean that bacteria is not still present and thriving between cleanings.

Ok, we have BPA, Airborne Contaminants and Bacteria... perhaps somehow you can see past this and still drink the water. After all it is convenient right? Ummm, wrong. This brings us to the fourth major problem...There is absolutely nothing convenient about the whole process. To get water, you must order it and wait for delivery, then your work day is impeded by the delivery, storing the bottles, counting the bottles, and making sure the paperwork is accurate so that you are not overcharged. Maybe you receive automatic shipments... that doesn't change the fact that there is still disruption to the work day to take the delivery and it doesn't change the fact that you can run out of water before the next delivery.

Once you have the bottles you need to lift the 42 pound jug to get it on top of the dispenser. Besides the expected water spillage from such a primitive process, there is the risk of on the job injury. There are actually web pages written outlining safety procedures for lifting the bottles (check ehow) It is a valid and present concern that is often overlooked by the employer... since it is usually not the owner or the 'boss' who is responsible for lifting the bottle, they therefore are unaware of what a strenuous task it can be.

So what have you now?... Contaminated water that you have invested a great deal of time and energy to acquire. But wait folks.... there's something else you may be overlooking. For some this may be the most important factor.The fifth problem is that Bottled water is very expensive... and on top of the ridiculous amount you are charged for the bottles, check you bills and you will see the fuel surcharges and added fees, not to mention the bottle deposits you are constantly laying out.
