Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on installation, servicing and hygiene, plus the details for every system we supply. Can’t find what you need? Call 0333 577 8432 or send us a message.

General questions

The questions we get asked most, whichever system you choose.

Can I rent this rather than buy it?

Yes. Most of our equipment is supplied on rental, and some can be bought outright. Your service agreement sets out exactly what's included, from sanitisation visits to filters and repairs.

What do I need on site?

A mains cold water supply, a standard 13A socket close by and enough clearance for ventilation. Some units also need a drain. We confirm all of this before installation.

How long does installation take?

Most free-standing coolers are fitted in a single visit. Under-counter taps and boilers take longer because they involve drilling the worktop or wall and venting the cupboard. We give you a timescale at survey.

What happens if there's a leak?

Every installation we do includes a water rail and a leak protection block as standard. If a leak is detected, the water supply to the unit is shut off.

How often does it need servicing?

Industry guidance is to sanitise mains-fed units and change the filter every six months. In hard water areas like Staffordshire we also descale, which keeps hot water and chilling systems running efficiently.

What does a sanitisation visit involve?

We isolate the water, replace the filter, run sanitiser through the internal water path, descale where needed, clean the outside, then flush and test the unit.

Do you service equipment you didn't supply?

Yes. We service Zip, Billi, Borg & Overström, AA First, Crystal Mountain and other brands, whoever supplied them.

Are your engineers qualified?

All our engineers are WRAS approved. We're SafeContractor approved, CHAS registered, NSF audited and a member of the Water Dispenser & Hydration Association.

Can you track how much water we use?

We can fit IoT sensors that record usage and flag when a service is due, so visits are based on real use rather than guesswork.

How much plastic will this save?

We run an impact calculator at each service visit. You get a record of the single-use bottles avoided and the CO₂e saved, ready for your sustainability reporting.
