Top Tips for Easily Maintaining Your Awesome Water Cooler
Keep It Clean As You Go!
Always keep the exterior of your desktop water cooler as clean as possible. It's a great idea to keep it sparkling—not just for aesthetics, but for hygiene! It only takes a minute with a standard antibacterial wipe to keep your cooler looking and operating like brand new.
Sanitise the Inside Regularly
Every 6 months or so, we highly recommend sanitising the internal reservoir of your cooler. This clears the water system of any potential bacteria, ensuring your pure filtered water tastes great day after day. You can easily do this by flushing a natural sanitising fluid (a simple mix of clean water, white vinegar, and a pinch of bicarbonate of soda) through the water cooler system.
Change Your Filters on Time
Changing the water filters at the correct intervals is the golden rule of water cooler maintenance. Our premium Awesome Water 8-Stage KDF Activated Charcoal Mineral Replacement Filters have an average lifespan of 6 months (or 2,000 Litres), meaning they will need to be changed twice yearly. It's incredibly easy to swap a water filter and the entire process can be done in under 15 minutes!
Handy Maintenance Hacks
- Empty and clean the drip tray regularly: To prevent water from pooling or leaking over the edge of your water cooler, simply slide out, empty, and rinse the drip tray. It only takes a few seconds to do!
- Check your connections: From time to time, have a quick look around the desktop water cooler to ensure all bottle connections and taps are solid and secure, keeping your cooler performing at its absolute best.

Common Questions
How often should I change my Awesome Water filter?
We highly recommend replacing your 8-Stage KDF Activated Charcoal filter every 6 months. This ensures your water remains perfectly pure, alkaline, and free from any bacterial buildup.
How do I naturally sanitise my water cooler?
You can easily sanitise the internal reservoir every 6 months by flushing a mixture of clean water, white vinegar, and a pinch of bicarbonate of soda through the taps. Be sure to flush it with fresh water afterward until there is no vinegar scent remaining.
Why is my water cooler leaking from the front?
The most common cause of a front leak is simply a full drip tray! Check your drip tray and empty it regularly. If the leak persists, ensure your top water bottle is seated securely and the taps are tightly screwed on.
