Awesome Water Filters Bottleless Water Coolers (Plumbed-In)

Key benefits

• No bottle changes: A point-of-use (POU) cooler connects to your existing water supply, so you’re not storing or replacing heavy bottles.
• Hot/cold options: Choose hot + cold or cool/ambient configurations depending on how you’ll use it day to day.
• Benchtop or freestanding: Pick the format that suits your space—reception counters, staff rooms, lunch areas or home kitchens.
• Built for real-life use: Different models focus on different priorities (tank size, cabinet style, servicing access). Always check the individual product page specs before purchase.

How it works

These coolers are designed as mains-connected systems. Water is supplied directly from your building’s existing water line into the cooler, which then dispenses chilled, ambient and/or hot water (depending on model). Many plumbed-in coolers can also be paired with an inline filter system to help improve taste and odour—check each product listing to confirm what’s included and what’s optional.

What you get

• Plumbed-in bottleless water cooler: Choose benchtop or freestanding models (availability varies by product).
• Temperature configuration: Select hot + cold or cool/ambient options (where available).
• Support for ongoing upkeep: Access to compatible replacement cartridges and parts (where required by your setup).

Installation & maintenance

Because bottleless coolers connect to the mains, installation should be completed in line with local plumbing requirements. In many Australian homes and workplaces, using a licensed plumber is the safest option—especially for pressure management, shut-off valves and compliance. Installation requirements can vary by model, so please follow the instructions shown on the product page and any included manuals.

For maintenance, keep the unit clean, follow any sanitising guidance for your model, and replace any inline filter cartridges on schedule so performance and taste stay consistent.

Choose the right bottleless cooler (quick guide)

• If bench space is tight: choose a compact benchtop bottleless cooler.
• If you have higher foot traffic: choose a freestanding unit for easier access.
• If you want instant drinks: pick a hot + cold model (and consider hot-tap safety features if children are around).
• If you don’t need heating: pick a cool/ambient (or cool/cold) configuration.
• If taste/odour matters most: look for models that can be paired with an inline filter system and plan your cartridge replacements.
