Water Dispensers for Schools and Universities

Water dispensers for schools and universities are essential in helping to promote good hydration habits among students and staff. With drinking fountains, water coolers, or other options available throughout the school or university grounds, everyone can stay adequately hydrated throughout the day.

Not only do these water dispensers help encourage healthy habits, but they also provide a safe source of clean water that is regulated by safety standards. In educational institutions where learning is the primary focus, having access to easy-to-use water systems keeps everyone well-hydrated so minds remain sharp and energy levels are high.

At Aquacool, we offer a range of cost-effective, high-quality water dispensers and water coolers suited to the needs of schools and universities.

Why staying matters for students and your teaching staff

Staying hydrated is an essential part of staying healthy and productive – especially in a school or university setting where focus and energy are key. 

Unfortunately, many traditional water fountains may no longer be providing safe drinking water due to their outdated designs that can easily become breeding grounds for bacteria. 

Modern-day water dispensers provide an easy and hygienic way to ensure students stay energised with safe drinking water that’s easily accessible throughout the school.

Floor-standing models like the Select Plus Bottled Water Cooler are ideal for schools. It features a sleek design, an efficient energy-star rating, and low running costs.

How can contactless water dispensers prevent bacterial contamination in schools?

Safety is paramount in any educational environment. Thankfully, contactless water dispensers can help reduce bacterial contamination and the spread of germs by allowing students and staff to dispense water without ever having to touch the device.

Contactless mains fed water coolers use infrared sensors that detect movement and automatically fill up any container placed beneath it – eliminating the need to touch the tap or push a button. This takes health and safety to new levels, ensuring that everyone in your school or university can access clean drinking water without worrying about bacteria or germs on their hands.

Mains Dispenser

The Elite UVC Mains Water Dispenser is specially designed with an innovative UVC LED filtration system that sanitises the water and eliminates any bacterial contaminants. This highly effective technology ensures your drinking water stays clean, safe, and free from potential contamination.
