Clover Water Coolers: Beloved by Children and Moms

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

We recently had professional writer and mom blogger Michelle Cox try out the Clover B7A water cooler. Michelle reported her experience on her blog Lipstick to Crayons. Her blog began as part of the transition to working from home, a choice she made to spend more time with her first child. Lipstick to Crayons focuses on penny pinching tips, shopping steals, and products with value. Michelle and her husband are the parents of three children, a teen, tween, and toddler. This freestanding Clover water cooler went through a 1 month road-test by an active, sport -loving family of five (http://lipsticktocrayons.com/2011/03/drinking-more-water-loving-our-new-water-cooler.html).

We asked Michelle to choose from three of the most popular Clover water cooler models. Clover makes a point-of-use water cooler and a smaller countertop water cooler. Our blogger chose the Clover B7A, a freestanding water dispenser, as the best choice for her family’s needs. The Clover B7A water cooler is compatible with standard 5 gallon water jugs. It provides instant hot water and cold water, with a thermostat to adjust the temperature. You can set the cold water temperature from room temperature to ice cold.

As part of her New Year’s resolutions, Michelle’s family wanted to drink more water. Having a Clover water dispenser in the house helped them achieve their H20 goal successfully! By simply placing the Clover B7A in a nook next to the door to the garage, the Cox family has started to drink more water filling up water bottles on the way out. She reported that Clover B7A cooler didn’t leak at all, withstanding a few accidental bumps. Her pre-schooler particularly loved the novelty of pushing down a blue nozzle for cold water and a red nozzle for hot water. This cooler comes with Clover’s patented red safety nozzle to protect small children from burning themselves when pouring hot water. The nozzle is certified toddler-proof, effectively preventing any accidents in her home!

What’s Indispensible for Water Dispensers?

Monday, December 27th, 2010

The staff at Air & Water uses our trusty water cooler round-the-clock as a means of hydration. When shopping for a water cooler, there are plenty of models to choose from, this post should help you parse through the options.

Hot, Cool, Cold

Water coolers can come with the ability to dole out chilled, room temperature, or hot water. Are you going to be using your water dispenser just for drinking water? If so, it makes sense to choose a model that offers cold or room temperature water. Select a model that produces hot water if you plan to make tea, noodles, and other hot edibles. The Clover B7A water dispenser in our break room makes hot water that’s steaming, but not quite boiling, in a few seconds.

Water Line

Where do you want the water to come from? There are two options: water bottle and point-of-use. Coolers that use water bottles typically use standardized 2 gallon, 3 gallon, or 5 gallon jugs. The choice hinges on how much water is used and available space. Point-of-use water dispensers draw directly from a waterline, a dramatically more eco-friendly option. Be friendly to the earth and save money by choosing a direct waterline water dispenser system.

Countertop

Most of the water dispensers in our catalog are standup units, which sit on the floor. We have a few models that are smaller and more compact, designed for countertop use. Our editor’s choice is the Vitapur VWD2636W countertop water dispenser which dispenses hot or cold water and is Energy Star listed. These are more suited for residential use, since they can be placed on a counter or table making a less obtrusive visual statement.
