🤔 Why shouldn’t I choose a water cooler for the home and prefer a home filter like the Imperial® Plus that connects directly to the faucet?
✅ Answer:
This is a question that many consumers ask when looking for solutions for clean and pleasant water in their homes. Although a water cooler seems practical at first – providing cold or hot water instantly – it is not a healthy, economical, or reliable option for daily use. On the contrary, a certified home tap filter like the Imperial® Plus offers multiple and significant advantages. Let’s take a closer look at them:
💧 1. Water Quality and Safety
Water coolers operate either with bottled water or with a connection to the network. In the first case, the water is stored in plastic bottles, which are often exposed to temperature changes and prolonged stays, which can lead to bacterial growth, especially when the bottle is opened and used for days or weeks. In the second case (network coolers), the filtration they provide is of limited effectiveness and often relies on simple carbon technologies.
In contrast, the Imperial® Plus is a multi-stage filtration system that removes certified:
- Chlorine
- Lead
- Pesticides
- Industrial chemicals
- Microplastics
- even residues of medications.
- And anything dangerous that exists in the water
The result is truly clean, fresh, and safe water, not just cold or hot.
It is worth noting that even coolers with built-in filters – particularly the small countertop coolers that connect to the supply – usually include simple carbon filters weighing 60 to 150 grams. These filters do not have the capacity to adequately remove the most dangerous chemicals and organic residues from the water, nor do they have certifications for pharmaceutical residues, microplastics, or heavy metals.
💸 2. Economy and Performance
A cooler requires continuous purchase of bottled water (if it is not connected to the network), which entails continuous cost, transportation, and storage.
On the contrary, the Imperial® Plus has a lifespan of up to 12 months or 15,000 liters of water, with a cost that is much lower per liter compared to any other solution. In fact, it serves all household needs – not just drinking water, but also cooking, coffee, washing food, etc.
Coolers – even if they filter water minimally for consumption – are not suitable for washing food or using their water for cooking, as the water remains in containers with stagnation, and its quality deteriorates. Furthermore, filtration is not sufficient for cooking requirements, nor for sensitive applications such as baby food or washing raw vegetables. In contrast, Imperial® Plus offers clean water at every tap outlet, for washing food, cooking, beverages, and everyday use, without restrictions.
If someone desires cold or hot water, they can simply put filtered water from Imperial® Plus into glass bottles and keep them in the fridge for immediate access to cool and excellent quality water. For hot water, they can use a stainless steel kettle to heat just the amount they need, with full control over the quality and without prolonged stagnation.
🔧 3. Ease of Use and Maintenance
Coolers require frequent cleaning, disinfection, and replacement of parts, something that is often neglected by users. The result is the sanitary degradation of the water itself that is supposed to provide protection.
The Imperial® Plus, on the other hand, is directly connected to the tap, and its maintenance is limited to a simple annual filter change – something that can be easily done, without tools, in a few minutes.
🌍 4. Ecology and Sustainability
The bottles used in coolers are a major source of plastic waste. Additionally, their transportation burdens the environment with CO₂ emissions. Even network coolers do not always provide complete filtration, leading to additional consumption of plastic bottles for specific uses (e.g., infant feeding).
On the contrary, Imperial® Plus is a zero waste solution that reduces 100% the need for plastic, enhancing the environmental awareness of the household.
🔒 5. Absolute Control – Immediate Trust
With a Camelot® filter, you know exactly what is being removed from your water, with certifications from independent laboratories such as N.S.F. and WQA. In contrast, coolers do not provide control or transparency regarding the quality of the water they supply – they simply offer temperature.
✅ Conclusion:
The water cooler may initially seem like a “convenient” choice, but over time, it offers neither real safety, nor savings, nor environmental responsibility. On the contrary, the Imperial® Plus provides quality, economical, and proven clean healthy water, at all times – not just cool or hot.
If the goal is the protection of your health, economy, and actual purity of water, then the choice is clear.
