The Hidden Cost of “Set-and-Forget” Water Coolers

Water coolers are thought to be low-effort resources by many businesses in the sense that they install them and leave them to rot but when it comes to long-term budgets, there are hidden expenses such as biofilm contamination, unforeseen maintenance, and a loss of efficiency that often drain the budget. In Aquatal, where our partners around the globe, such as the best distributor Novita in Singapore, the best seller Avido in Cyprus, and OVI in France, have their confidence, we develop hot/cold water solutions eliminating these risks by deliberate design and preemptive treatment. And this is the reason why set-and-forget is an expensive lesson-- and how Aquatal corrects it.

Biofilm Waits: Preventive Maintenance is Non-Negotiable.

The biofilm or slimy surface of the microbes which develop in water reservoirs and lines flourishes in unattended coolers. It affects the safety of water, and it clogs parts and makes units to work harder- reducing their life span. In contrast to other generic coolers, Aquatals systems (such as our Ultra-Slim "PREMIUM" Series and PT-2488W/B models) are designed to have an easy access to many important parts of the system and, therefore, cleaning it can be done easily beforehand. Our partner Novita that has a rigid design specification of the quality of water sector in Singapore depends on this design to ensure that client’s water is safe- Waiting is not an option to have issues with biofilm. Passing of specific maintenance guidelines by Aquatal goes in line with our small, all round units as you are always proactive rather than responsive to the growth of the microbes.

Every 15 Minute Check That Saves 2000 Dollars in Repairs.

Repair of emergency coolers- broken heating coils to blocked pumps may cost up to 2000 dollars, which any business can afford to spare. The units of Aquatal are designed to be hassle-free to check quarterly, and only require a 15-minute check-up: check filter condition (our models use filters that are easy to access), heat/cold temperature uniformity (we have the so-called Any Temp, Any Time technology that ensures 5-100degC uniformity), and leak detection. This is a fast process with support of our professional support team which helps identify minor problems before they develop. Our long-term partners in 20+ countries such as Avido which also partners with us in R&D report 60 percent fewer emergency repairs due to such checks, which would equate to massive savings.
