You might encounter these types of water coolers or drinking water fountains in the park or other public areas with various designs and usually provides only normal or both hot and cold water.

However, before you want to proceed to buy a water cooler or drinking water fountain, get to know these 5 facts so you can avoid buying the wrong one that gives no benefits to your expenses.

You probably wondered; why you should buy a water cooler/drinking water fountain from a brand that is certificated?


✅Renowned world laboratories approved the quality of water produced by certain brands,

✅The quality of water is certified healthy, clean and safe to drink.


Without a doubt, some people are afraid to drink water, especially from public water dispensers because they are worried about the level of cleanliness of the water may pose a health risk. Therefore, if you find that some brands of water dispensers have been recognized and certified not only according to local but also international standards, then it shows that the brand is a good and reliable brand water dispensers.


Then. you no longer have to worry about the level of safety and cleanliness of drinking water.

  1. Take note of the water tank capacity.

This plays a crucial factor when buying any water machine as we probably want it to be able to provide a lot of water access, especially in public areas (schools, factories, shopping centres, etc.) with a lot of people. When buying a water machine, especially a drinking water fountain, make sure to buy the one that can hold a lot of water in the tank.


For example, this Aqua Kent’s water cooler machine with a water tank capacity of 10 litres per hour for cold water and 20 litres per hour for hot water. This is more than enough amount of water for your areas, right?



With its dimension (cm) of 32 x 41 x 126 and net weight of 29kg, I’m sure this type of water cooler machine is suitable to be put in any public area.

  1. Look out for the special features.

Just like any other dispenser water or water filter, some water cooler/drinking water fountain also provided special features in its product to make sure it brings satisfaction to users when using them. 


For example, some water cooler brands specifically provided cold water in their product for their targeted customer who loved drinking cold water or are placed in hot weather areas (especially in Malaysia). 


There is also a drinking water fountain with two types of water provided (hot & cold water) so users can choose their preferred water. This type of drinking water fountain usually becomes the choice of users as they can get instant hot or cold water.


Other than that, if you want a long-lasting drinking water fountain, make sure to check out a product that is built with stainless steel body as it is said to be high resistance to corrosion or chemical contamination. So, there’s no risk of rust, crack or freezing as it is more durable compared to plastic storage tanks.


Aqua Kent is one of the companies that produced trusted water machine product that is built with a stainless steel body. For example, their fully stainless steel hot and cold economy water cooler is robust and reliable.


Aqua Kent water cooler also uses fast compressor cooling for cooling water and most importantly, it is durable, high performance, noise-free and long-lasting period usage.
