Regular Cleaning & Sanitizing Of Water Reservoir
Your cooler's reservoir should be flushed, cleaned and sanitized
every 6 to 12 months, depending on the amount of water used
and the sanitary conditions of the cooler location. It would
be most convenient to do this at a time when an empty bottle
needs replacement.
- Unplug the cord from electrical outlets and let
the cooler stand for a few minutes to reach room
temperature
- Remove empty bottle
- Empty the reservoir by draining the cold faucet
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of bleach to one gallon of tap
water and pour into reservoir
- Wash reservoir thoroughly with diluted bleach
solution and let stand for 5 minutes
- Drain bleach solution from reservoir through the
cold faucet
- Rinse reservoir thoroughly with clear water several
times, draining water through faucet(s). Continue
rinsing until no chlorine taste remains
- Place new bottle on cooler and plug cord into
electrical outlet

Leaking Cooler
When a leak appears from a bottled water cooler, 99 times
out of 100 it is due to a defective water bottle. After many
cycles of cleaning and sanitizing, polycarbonate bottles can
sometimes develop a tiny fracture or a tiny pinhole. While
the bottle may initially hold water, once it is placed on
a cooler and the water level drops during use, it cannot hold
the vacuum which develops. It is this vacuum which keeps the
water in the inverted bottle.
Steps to determine the source of the leak:
- Remove the bottle and inspect the cooler reservoir.
If full, leakage is probably due to a fractured
bottle.
- Allow the cooler to sit undisturbed for several
hours. If the water level remains the same, the
bottle is defective.
- Replace with a new bottle of water
- Mark the defective bottle prominently with the
word LEAKER and return it to your bottled
water distributor. It will be taken out of circulation
and recycled.
