Hot and cold dispensers, all in one

Hot and cold water dispensers are the all-rounder of the workplace water category. Most offices have separate kettles for tea-and-instant-coffee and a chiller for drinking water. A combined unit handles both from one footprint, with the hot dispense at 85 to 95 degrees (suitable for tea, instant coffee, and packet soup) and the cold side filtered and chilled to 4 to 10 degrees.

Safety is the obvious concern with hot dispense, and the units we stock include a child-safety lock plus a press-and-hold dispense pattern that prevents accidental activation. The hot tank itself is insulated and energy-efficient, and where supported, the unit can be programmed to drop into a low-power mode overnight or at weekends.

Mains-fed is the typical install (no bottle storage, unlimited supply); bottled is also available where plumbing access isn't practical. Capacity varies: a typical unit dispenses around 4 litres of hot per hour and 8 litres of cold per hour, which covers most office demand profiles comfortably.
