How to choose a water cooler
The range of such goods, as we have seen, is large. But there is no need to rush to the first one that comes across. How to choose a water cooler, Komsomolskaya Pravda was told by a specialist in the sale of household appliances Roman Komarov. He offers to choose according to the characteristics.
Water cooling type
There are two types — electronic and compressor. The first type of cooling is used more often and is more suitable for desktop coolers. These models tend to be smaller and more environmentally friendly. Be sure to ventilate the room so that dust and dirt do not get into the cooler. Models with compressor cooling resemble those used in refrigerators. They cool the water more, but are more fragile. Do not harm the structure, otherwise you will allow a refrigerant leak. It is advisable to transport such coolers only in an upright position. Some coolers do not have a cooling system at all. They serve hot water and water at room temperature. Such devices are cheaper.

type of instalation
There are also two of them. Floor coolers are more popular. They are suitable for a large family or for the office. True, take care to allocate space to the device. For example, in the kitchen. Some models have a cabinet for dishes and a refrigerator. Desktop coolers are placed on a table or on special stands. They are optimal for low water consumption. Not suitable for a large company.
Water supply
Coolers with a top supply of water from a bottle are the most budgetary. A container of water is placed upside down on top. At the end of the water, the bottle must be changed. It takes man power. Bottom feed models are more expensive, but more convenient. You simply install the bottle in a special compartment and close it with a door so that it does not catch your eye. Water supply is carried out using a pump or a hand pump. There are coolers with flowing water supply. They process tap water into drinking water using a multi-stage filtration system. The devices are expensive and need to be replaced filters.
Control method
Coolers with a mechanical system are easy to use. To pump water, you need to press the pump. The child may not be able to. In electronic models, you can set the temperature or a timer, some have indicator panels where you can carry out various actions with water. Such coolers are more expensive, but more functional.
Water taps
There are models with glass pressure. You need to bring a mug to the tap and press the lever located in the frame. If you move the glass away, the water will stop flowing. This is a very simple and convenient way. But it is designed for small volumes. To fill a large container, the lever will have to be held for a long time. In other models, you can adjust the water supply with buttons on the case.
Additional functions
They will be a nice bonus for the buyer. Carbonation, filtration, ozonation of water. Yes, the filters will have to be changed, but with them the water is cleaner. Some models have protection against children — this is also an important point, in particular for families with children. The presence of a cupboard for dishes and a refrigerator compartment can also be a plus.
