Energy-Efficient Water Coolers with Integrated Smart Protection

Traditional water coolers can come with many hidden costs. They are electric, so they're always running-even when you aren't at work or school or in your home office. They lack protection against leaks, so a drip can cost facility managers tens of thousands of dollars in water damage. And they usually force their customers into proprietary filter cartridges, which dramatically increase your cost of ownership over the years. For more than 10 years, Aquatal has been addressing these challenges by helping customers access better quality, cleaner water source while at the same time tackling real, operational costs. Aquatal's low energy water coolers feature intelligent protection, and are designed to reduce your overall operating costs starting from day one.

Low-energy cooling technology reduces total operating costs and supports sustainability

The cooling system is at the heart of any water cooler, but also at the root of wasteful energy use. Traditional water coolers employ a fix-speed compressor that operates with a simple on-off cycle. As soon as the water temperature rises, the compressor kicks on and runs at maximum power to cool the water down, only to turn off completely when it reaches the correct temperature again. When the water heats up once more, the compressor turns back on at full power. This design leads to tremendous energy waste because it is power intensive to turn a compressor on.

Aquatal’s low energy cooling employs a variable-speed compressor, or advanced thermo-electric systems. These are designed to respond dynamically and intelligently to changing demands. During heavy usage, they run at higher capacity. During low-use periods such as nights and weekends they reduce power draw,maintain the set temperature with minimal energy, and prevent drastic temperature fluctuations through better insulation.

For an entire facility with many water coolers, these savings add up dramatically. By the tenth year that you're using them, your total energy savings likely exceed the initial cost of the machines. Moreover, reducing energy use helps you reach your sustainability goals. Facilities that qualify for LEED certification or meet corporate carbon reduction targets can count the use of Aquatal energy efficient water coolers towards their ESG goals and commitments. Aquatal is already a world leader in water treatment technology, and this aspect sets us far ahead of the rest.

Built-in leak detection automatically shuts off water to prevent facility damage

Water leaks are among the most expensive and destructive equipment failures for any facility. Leaks often go unnoticed for days or weeks, gradually damaging flooring, sub-flooring, cabinetry, and more. The resulting mold and decay that can create health concerns, and damage continues until an investigator or technician intervenes, ultimately costing thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs. Water leaks can ruin offices, classrooms, and breakrooms in just minutes.

Our automatic water leak detection system prevents this disastrous event from occurring. An electronic moisture sensor is placed at the lowest internal portion of the unit, and continuously monitors the interior for the presence of water where it should not be. If water is detected at any time by the sensor, an electrically controlled shutoff valve automatically terminates the water flow to the cooler. This shutoff is automatic and instant, ensuring that any leak is contained before it has a chance to cause significant damage. By having leak detection, the cost to resolve a problem is reduced to a fraction, the machine can be repaired, and no large insurance claims or contractors are needed.

Standardized filter interfaces ensure compatibility and easy maintenance

One of the hidden costs of traditional water coolers is the filter replacement. Often they rely on proprietary cartridges which can only be purchased from the single original manufacturer. This captive parts market means customer typically pay two to three times more for each replacement filter than for similar compatible cartridges. If the manufacturer discontinues the filter line it means that there are not any replacement parts available and no good options to keep the cooler running.

This design means you can use cartridges available from many different sources, which gives you competition that benefits the customer, and keeps prices low. This choice also guarantees that you will be able to find replacements easily for your cooler for its lifetime, even in case of a supply chain disruption for a specific manufacturer. This also reflects Aquatal's original and intelligent designs that do not rely on taking their customers hostage for their maintenance costs. And, just one filter type for all units saves your staff valuable time searching for the correct part.

For any organization wanting to offer a quality cold water solution without wasting money on power or risking damage to their facility, Aquatal energy efficient water coolers provide all the benefits of lower operating costs and protection. Low energy cooling saves on electricity and helps environmental initiatives.
