Compare the connection, bottle handling and ongoing care at your site. Neither water format is automatically best for every workplace.
Mains-fed: the site connection matters
A mains-fed system avoids routine bottle changes but needs a suitable water connection and installation. Verify filtration, chilled output, pressure, utilities and service access for the exact model. A mains supply is not unlimited chilled capacity.
Bottled: plan supply and storage
A bottled system avoids a mains-water connection but needs an appropriate bottle supply, storage and handling arrangement. Check the model’s power, position, supported bottle format and output. It cannot simply be placed anywhere.
Both need routine care
Bottle replacement is not a substitute for cleaning or servicing. Follow the model’s instructions and confirm who undertakes routine care and any required professional work.
Compare cost and practical impact
Use real equipment offers, installation scope, supply charges, filtration, cleaning and service costs over the same period. Consider deliveries, energy, packaging and the actual supply arrangements before making an environmental comparison.
Make a site-specific choice
A permanent location with suitable plumbing may favour mains-fed equipment. A site without a practical connection may favour a bottled model. Confirm the selected system and unresolved installation questions before committing.
