Frequently Asked Questions
Rent or Purchase? - Water Cooler Services
Buying or renting a cooler is not dissimilar to buying or renting a property. In the long run you would expect buying to be cheaper, however if you choose to rent there is no need to worry if and when the cooler (or boiler) breaks down, or any of the other administrative hassles that go along with self maintenance - Thirsty 4 Water will take care of them for you. Also, at the end of the rental term you are entitled to a brand new cooler!
With any situation where there is the opportunity to buy or rent, there is a need to consider initial and ongoing costs before making a decision. Water coolers are no different. Rental agreements include EVERYTHING - servicing, repairs and regular filter changes.

What do the water filters do?
Our water filters are capable of reducing or eliminating bad tastes and odours, chlorine, and other organic contaminants to produce significantly improved drinking water. We use carbon block filters as standard because they have a higher contaminant removal ratio than GAC (Gas Activated Carbon) filters.
