Key benefits

• Fix common issues faster: Replace worn parts like taps, valves, tubes and drip trays to help reduce mess and downtime.
• Easy to shop by problem: Find parts by what you’re experiencing—leaks, drips, unstable feet, or inconsistent temperature performance.
• Keep your setup tidy: Small replacements (like drip trays and bung plugs) can make day-to-day use cleaner and simpler.
• More confidence when ordering: Many items are model-specific—check each listing to match your cooler type before checkout.

How it works

Water coolers are a mix of simple wear-and-tear components (like taps, drip trays, rubber feet and seals) and more technical parts (like thermostat/readers and electrical components). When a small part fails, you often don’t need a whole new cooler—you just need the correct replacement. Use the quick guide below to narrow down what you need, then confirm compatibility in the product listing.

What you’ll find in this collection

• Taps & safety options: standard hot/cold taps, benchtop replacement taps, and child-lock style tap options (where listed).
• Drip trays: under-tap trays and fridge drip trays to help keep benches and floors dry.
• Valves & flow parts: one-way valves, return valves and related parts for common leak/drip fixes.
• Temperature/cooling related parts: thermostat/readers and select switches (service may be recommended).
• Small essentials: silicone tube (pipe-to-tap), bung hole plugs, rubber feet, and bottle spare parts/sets.

Installation & maintenance

Quick selection guide:

• Drips near taps: start with the tap itself, then check the silicone tube and valve parts (plus a drip tray if needed).
• Leaks around the bottle area: check bottle-related parts such as bung plugs and bottle spare parts/sets.
• Not cold / inconsistent cooling: it may relate to cooling controls (e.g., thermostat/reader). If you’re unsure, consider a qualified technician.
• Wobble or vibration: rubber feet can help stabilise freestanding units.

Safety note: Always switch off and unplug your cooler before any replacement. If a part involves internal electrics or hot-water components, we recommend using a qualified service technician to stay safe and protect your unit.

FAQs

• How do I confirm a spare part fits my cooler?
  Start by matching your cooler type (benchtop, freestanding or bottleless). Then check the product listing for compatibility notes, what’s included, and any model-specific details.
• What’s the most common cause of drips near the tap?
  Often it’s normal wear in the tap mechanism, tubing, or a valve component. If you see water collecting underneath, a drip tray can help manage splashes while you replace the worn part.
• Are water cooler taps universal?
  Some taps are widely compatible, but many are model-specific. Always confirm the listing details rather than assuming a universal fit.
• Can I replace a thermostat/reader myself?
  If the repair involves internal electrical components, we recommend using a qualified technician. This is safer and can help prevent accidental damage to your unit.
• How do I clean a drip tray?
  Remove the tray (if detachable), wash with mild detergent, rinse and dry fully before reinstalling. Replace the tray if it’s cracked, warped, or won’t sit securely.
• My cooler isn’t cooling properly—what part should I check?
  Cooling issues can have multiple causes. If basic checks don’t help (power, ventilation, settings), a cooling-related component may be involved. If you’re unsure, contact us so we can guide you to the most likely part for your model.
• Do you have child-safe options?
  Yes—this collection includes child-safety style tap options (where listed). Check the product page to confirm compatibility with your cooler.
• What if I ordered the wrong part?
  Reach out via our contact page as soon as possible. We’ll help you work out the correct part and advise the best next step in line with our store policies.
