3 min readMar 4, 2020

A water dispenser is a type of machine that is used to cool or sometimes heat-up, purify and dispense water for drinking. It is usually installed in houses, hostels, restaurants, beauty parlours, educational institutes, offices, and allied establishments near restrooms due to closer access to plumbing. It also comes with a drain line that is connected to the sewer system. It is mainly classified into two categories:

Bottled

In this model, a water bottle is put at the neck of the dispenser. Either by pulling the dispenser hooks or pushing the dispensing button, water can be dispensed in this type of water dispenser

Bottle-less

Unlike bottled water dispenser, this model is connected to the main water supply and it usually consists of a filter to provide pure water

Some of the highly sought after water dispensers are:

Wall Mounted- Also called drinking fountain, this type of water dispenser is mounted on a wall. It is connected to primary electricity and water supply to cool or heat and purify water. It is also connected with the drainage system of an establishment to discard wastewater.

Bottom Load

In this type of dispenser, the water bottle is placed below the main unit. It is one of the most demanded and popular dispensers.

Tabletop

Commonly used in households, this type of water dispenser is small in size that is why it can be placed on a top of a table or kitchen counter

Direct Piping

Also known as a point of use water dispenser, it is directly connected to an in-house water source. It is the most hygienic in this list.

Freestanding

A freestanding water dispenser generally involves bottles of water placed spout-down into the dispensing machine.

There are a variety of water dispensers according to the needs and preferences of the consumers. Features to look for before buying a water dispenser are:

Ease of maintenance

Make sure that not only water dispenser but any appliance you buy requires less maintenance. Your water dispenser must have a removable drip tray so that it is easy to clean.

Afford-ability

Before buying, you should check the price of the dispenser. The bottled water dispenser is more cost-effective than bottle-less dispensers.

Child Lock

It is important to have a child lock system in the water dispenser to prevent kids from opening the tap, spilling water, and burning their hands from hot water.

Filter Quality

Water dispensers are available with or without filters. Water dispensers are available with Ultraviolet filter, water distillers, carbon charcoal filters, etc. Consumers can choose filters as per their preference.

India’s water dispenser market is expected to grow at an annual growth rate of around 6% and by 2023, it can cross $ 63 million. The major growth drivers are a rise in the awareness of healthy living and the growing cases of water pollution. Interested in becoming a Wholesale Water Dispenser Distributor?
