Why UK Businesses Rate Our Water Dispenser Service
The water cooler is the easy part. What customers tell us they notice is the service around it: deliveries that turn up when promised, engineers who are our own staff rather than subcontractors, and a UK team you can actually get hold of. Read what they say in our case studies and reviews.
Bottled or Mains Fed: Which Water Cooler Is Right for You?
CHOOSING A WATER DISPENSERAlmost every enquiry starts here. Both types deliver chilled drinking water and both are available to rent. The decision comes down to plumbing, floor space and how much water your team gets through.
Bottled water coolers need no plumbing at all, so they can go wherever there is a socket and move with you if you relocate. We deliver sealed bottles on a schedule that matches how quickly you use them.
Mains fed water coolers connect to your existing water supply and filter on demand, so the supply never runs out and there are no bottles to store, lift or reorder. They tend to suit busier sites and anywhere storage space is tight.
Not sure which fits? Tell us how many people are on site and we will recommend one.
- No plumbing work needed for a bottled water dispenser
- An uninterrupted supply from a mains fed water cooler
- Chilled, hot and sparkling options across both ranges

High Volume Taps, Bottling Systems and Filtration
FOR THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRYPura is our hospitality and filtration division, built for hotels, conferencing, leisure and any workplace that needs a lot of filtered water quickly, the kind of demand a standard water dispenser was never designed to meet.
Front and back of house, chilled, boiling and sparkling, plus accessories and refillable glass bottles you can put your own name on. Bottling in house also takes single use plastic, delivery miles and storage space out of the operation.
- Cut single use, plastic bottled water
- Reduce the environmental impact of transportation and packaging waste
- Gain fridge and storeroom space
Boiling, Chilled and Sparkling Water Taps
COMMERCIAL TAPS AND FILTRATIONWhere a water cooler is not the right shape for the room, such as a busy kitchen, a staff canteen or a servery, a plumbed tap does the same job in the counter. Pair one with our Pura commercial water filters and every glass is filtered at the point it is poured.
- Microplastic reduction
- Reduces scale, chlorine, odour and off tastes
- Keeps pH stable and protects the machine behind it
Specify boiling, chilled still and sparkling from a single tap, and we will size the system around the covers you serve. Also suits hot water boilers and coffee machines in cafes and restaurants.
Water Fountains and Bottle Filling Stations
APPROVED ELKAY RESELLERWater fountains and bottle filling stations let people top up a reusable bottle in seconds and keep moving. Fitted to a wall in a corridor, gym, school or public space, they suit anyone filling up between lessons, shifts or sessions, with no queue at a water cooler. They are plumbed into the mains, so they don't run out and there are no bottles to lift or store.
We are an approved reseller of Elkay indoor and outdoor units. Whether you need a first installation or someone to take over an existing Elkay water dispenser, we handle delivery, servicing, parts, filter changes and sanitisation, so the water quality and the hygiene record both hold up.
Water Cooler and Water Dispenser FAQs
In day to day use they mean the same thing. Water cooler usually describes a machine that chills drinking water; water dispenser is the wider term and also covers hot, boiling and sparkling models. Our range covers all of them, so it is worth choosing on what the machine does rather than what it is called.
Choose bottled if you have no convenient plumbing, want to move the machine around, or use a moderate amount of water. Choose mains fed for higher volumes and no bottle storage, because it filters water straight from your existing supply and never needs restocking.
It depends on the model, whether it is bottled or mains fed, and how much water your workplace gets through. Rental covers installation, servicing, sanitisation and filter changes, so maintenance does not arrive as a separate bill later. Tell us about your site and we will put a price together.
Yes. We manage the installation from start to finish, then keep the machine maintained on a scheduled sanitisation and filter change programme as part of your rental. Our engineers and delivery drivers are our own staff.
Yes. We offer a free 10 day trial with no obligation to buy. We install the water dispenser, you use it exactly as you would normally, and if it is not right we collect it at the end of the trial.
Yes. We supply and service water coolers and water dispensers nationwide, from London and the South East through the Midlands to the South West and Wales, with local delivery teams covering each region rather than a single central depot.
At least twice a year, and we build it into your service schedule alongside filter changes so you do not have to track it. Regular sanitisation is what keeps the machine hygienic and the water tasting the way it should.

Your UK Water Cooler and Water Dispenser Supplier
ABOUT THIRSTY WORKWe have supplied UK businesses with water coolers and hot water dispenser rental for over twenty years, and have grown into one of the larger local suppliers, covering London, Southampton, Plymouth and most places in between. Local depots rather than one national warehouse is why we can aim to deliver water orders within five working days.
The full range runs from bottled and mains fed water coolers to bottling systems for the hotel and hospitality trade. We are approved by the Water Dispenser & Hydration Association, which audits how we bottle, install and maintain equipment against recognised hygiene standards.
Switching Water Cooler Supplier
CASE STUDYChanging provider mid contract worries people more than choosing a machine does. Megan moved her water cooler supply to Thirsty Work and we handled the transfer around her existing agreement.
I am in the process of switching over to Thirsty Work from another provider and would just like to say that so far they have been fantastic. They reply to emails straight away and resolve any issues swiftly and amicably. Special thanks to Matt and Sarah for their understanding and co operation while waiting for the transfer across to be confirmed. I can't wait to work them as already their correspondence is 100% better than with my previous provider big big thank you.
