Our sister company, The Water Cooler Company has noticed a marked growth in the number of customers asking specifically that our water coolers come with Brita filtration. Our hope is that the information found below will allow our customers to understand our position and then decide whether to take the Brita option over our other water filter options – LINK THIS TO DROP DOWN BAR.
Brita’s Water Filtration Experience
Brita technology has been applied to several areas of the UK drinking water marketplace. In 2008 the Aquavend Cool filter was launched to be used in conjunction with other plumbed water coolers. Brita were the first consumer orientated brand to begin looking at water cooler filtration and they have had some success. After looking at the product we have also decided to offer customers this option. The filter specifications are shown below and it is up to customers to decide whether they want this filter rather than the Pentek fitted to their plumbed water cooler.
What is the Brita Water Cooler Product?
On the Brita website the product is described as “With its special activated carbon filter media, the AquaVend Cool filter cartridge mounted at the inlet side of the machine guarantees safe elimination of all unpleasant odours and tastes and reliably retains particles > 0,5 μm. It offers perfect protection of the machine and ensures perfect water quality.”

What does this mean to our customers?
For customers the most important factors of the product description seem to be that the filter is a solid carbon block (cheaper carbon inline filters are NOT blocks), that it works to 8 bar of pressure and that it filters water down to the 0.5 micron level. The Brita water cooler filter also has a six month lifespan which is the standard water cooler filter term in our industry.
The standard plumbed water cooler filter that www.watercoolerfilters.co.uk supply to customers is a Pentek water cooler filter which is one of the higher spec’ed filters on the market. Our Pentek filter is also a solid carbon block, filters to the 1 micron level, and is tested up to 8 bar of pressure.
Customers can choose whichever filter they wish when they either rent or purchase a plumbed water cooler from us, give us a call on 0845 500 4455.
