There’s a quiet hero in every office: the water cooler. It keeps your team hydrated, encourages quick catch-ups, and even plays therapist after a long meeting. But if yours is groaning, leaking, or just plain ugly, it might be time to face the facts—it’s due for retirement.
Here are five red flags that your office hydration station is overdue for an upgrade:
1. It’s louder than your coffee machine
If your water cooler sounds like it’s preparing for lift-off every time it chills a bottle, that’s a sign it’s well past its prime.
2. It’s seen better (and cleaner) days
Yellowing plastic, water stains, and dodgy nozzles aren’t just unappealing—they’re unhygienic. Your team deserves better.
3. It still uses those awkward top-loaded bottles
Let’s be real: lifting a 15L bottle above your head is a back injury waiting to happen. Bottom-loaded or plumbed-in systems are the future.
4. It's guzzling power like there’s no tomorrow
Old units can be surprisingly power-hungry. Newer models are energy-efficient—and some (like ours) even align with carbon-neutral practices.
5. Nobody’s using it anymore
If staff are choosing bottled water or taking hydration breaks elsewhere, your cooler is no longer cool. And that’s a problem.
