Office Water Delivery For Offices Everywhere

From the time of its invention, the water cooler - and subsequently,water for the office delivery - has been a everlasting fixture in the modern office environment. In lieu of a water fountain - which itself has its own cultural associations and connotations, even as a icon of the American civil rights movement, another story for another time - many offices like the use of a free-standing water cooler fitted with the promptly recognizable five gallon tanks mounted to the top. In fact, this is what presents office water delivery its title, in that these five gallon jugs are virtually delivered by truck to the office, generally on a regular basis and usually in exchange for the empty jugs left over from the former month.

The preference for delivery for office water and these free-standing units is generally one of function over form. Through there are the usual logistical aggrevations of having to literally manipulate the heavy, five gallon jugs received by office water delivery, the functions of the unit itself more than make up for it. Whereas a water fountain generally only offers cooled water out of just one spout, water coolers usually have a number of spouts, usually two or three. Obviously there is the primary spout, which when handled with a simple lever delivers cold water, but it is not uncommon to find models with spouts for room temperature water, or even extremely hot, almost boiling water - perfect for use in making tea or quick coffee.

Other than functionality, sanitation is a common reason for preference of office water delivery over locally available tap water through a water fountain. The reasonably sizable, free-standing units are often laden with various water purification technologies which, in addition to the large jugs of water that happen to be already sanitized and purified at their bottling plants, make for the purest water accessible. Usually office water coolers use some form of activated carbon filtering, which uses specially treated charcoal to filter larger impurities (salts, dissolved inorganic compounds, etc) coming from the water. In latest years, it has also been common for these units to be fitted with some kind of ultraviolent light treatment, which usually kills what might be left over after charcoal filtering: dissolved organic compounds, bacteria, and so on.

Though unbelievably simple in design and purpose, the insufferable banality of the modern day office cubical labyrinth has made the ubiquitous water cooler a sort of social hub at the office. So recognizable is this fact that colloquial terms like "water cooler show" have been coined off of it, in reference to the type of trite dialogue about well-known culture expected among employees gathering around the unit. Even the phrase "word around the water cooler" in reference to rumors or gossip has entered the cultural lexicon. Interesting that such an oddly routine things as office water delivery can be, in a way, liable for such widely identifiable cultural phenomena.
