Bottom-Loading Water Dispensers in Durban

The main bottom-loading water dispensers page explains the types, the standards and the costs in more detail.

Durban notes on dispensers & coolers

Durban buyers mostly choose floor-standing and bottom-loading dispensers for offices in Umhlanga Ridge, Westville and the Berea, where staff want cold water in the summer humidity. Hot and cold units suit call centres and clinics in Greyville and Overport. Countertop models fit small shops along Florida Road and guesthouses in Morningside. Salty sea air can corrode cheap metal parts near the beachfront, so ask suppliers about stainless steel taps and sealed cabinets.

Drinking water in Durban

Most of Durban's tap water comes through Umgeni-uThukela Water, which treats raw water from the Umgeni and uMlazi catchments, with Midmar, Albert Falls, Nagle and Inanda dams feeding the system. eThekwini then distributes it, and the network is old in places. Pipe bursts, reservoir maintenance and storm damage to mains have left parts of Umlazi, Inanda and the south basin dry for days at a time. The humid coastal summer keeps people drinking all day, so offices on the Berea ridge, hotels along the beachfront and the warehouses of Prospecton and Springfield Park lean on cooled bottled water. Many homes keep a plastic tank on the roof as a buffer.
