Everyone loves a glass of cool, thirst-quenching water straight from the tap. But though UK tap water is highly regulated for safety, its taste can differ from region to region.

We know our customers love the ease and convenience of a Thirsty Work water cooler in their workplaces.

So how much electricity do water coolers really use?

While we’re as eco-friendly as we can be in our water cooler products, packaging, and deliveries, we also try to be as economic as we can in their energy consumption as well. To get a cost of running a water...
