Energy Consumption & Maintenance
A countertop water cooler usually consumes the same or even less electricity than a classic floor-standing cooler, especially in models with electronic cooling. If low energy consumption is a priority, choose countertop models with ECO mode or a timer so that they switch off during non-working hours.
Basic maintenance includes filter replacement (for mains-fed models) and regular cleaning of the tanks. At OASIS you will find filters and spare parts for all our desktop water coolers, as well as technical support for installation or service.
Frequently Asked Questions about Countertop Water Coolers
-
+ What is a countertop water cooler and when should I choose one?
A countertop water cooler is a compact unit that is placed on a counter or cabinet instead of on the floor. It is the best choice when space is limited or when you want the cooler closer to the sink or work surface. It is an ideal solution for apartments, small offices and holiday homes.
-
+ Should I choose a mains-fed countertop cooler with filter or a bottled countertop cooler?
If you want to forget about bottles and enjoy filtered tap water, choose a mains-fed countertop cooler with filter. It connects to the tap and provides a continuous water supply at very low cost per litre. If, on the other hand, you prefer bottled water or you do not have easy access to the mains, then a bottled countertop water cooler is the more practical option.
-
+ How much space do countertop water coolers need on the counter?
Most countertop water coolers have a footprint similar to a small coffee machine. A stable counter with a depth of about 40–45 cm and free height above the bottle or lid is usually enough. This way, desktop water coolers fit comfortably in a home kitchen or on an office desk without overloading the space.
-
+ How much electricity does a countertop water cooler consume?
Consumption depends on whether the model uses a compressor or electronic cooling. A typical countertop water cooler with compressor uses similar power to a small floor-standing cooler, while electronic-cooling models have lower consumption but milder chilling. You can further reduce the running cost by turning the cooler off during hours when it is not needed.
-
+ What maintenance do countertop water coolers require?
Basic maintenance involves regular cleaning of the taps and tanks, as well as filter replacement on mains-fed models with filtration. OASIS provides a full range of spare parts and service options, so your countertop water coolers remain safe and efficient for many years.
