Getting three suppliers to quote a cooler in Kimberley takes calls and days. Send one request instead, with how many people drink and where the unit will stand, and we pass it to water dispenser and cooler suppliers who work in Kimberley and nearby areas of Northern Cape.
Bottom-Loading Water Dispensers in Kimberley
In Kimberley bottom-loading dispensers are popular in offices, clinics and homes where staff or older family members do not want to lift 19 kg bottles. Suppliers across Northern Cape quote units to buy or rent. Give the room size and the height of the doorway so the unit fits.
The main bottom-loading water dispensers page explains the types, the standards and the costs in more detail.
Kimberley notes on dispensers & coolers
In Kimberley, mining and engineering offices in Beaconsfield and the Hull Street area prefer sturdy floor-standing hot and cold dispensers, while Galeshewe clinics and crèches usually go for small, simple coolers. Heavy summer heat makes a chilled option important. Where chlorine taste is strong at the end of the pipeline, a unit with a carbon filter is a sensible request.
Drinking water in Kimberley
Kimberley draws its drinking water from the Vaal River, treated and supplied in bulk by Sedibeng Water through the Riverton scheme, and then reticulated by the Sol Plaatje municipality. The pipeline is long, so when pumps fail or mains burst, whole suburbs can be dry for days. Water is often fairly hard and can carry a chlorine taste at the far ends of the network. Summers are punishingly hot, which drives dispenser use at mining offices, the university, hospitals, schools in Galeshewe and Roodepan, and the guesthouses and tour operators around the Big Hole.
Typical bottom-loading water dispensers requests in the area come from:
- Offices and business parks: a tidy bottom-loading unit in reception or the tearoom, loaded by the cleaner or the supplier
- Households: a cabinet dispenser in the kitchen that older family members can reload without lifting
- Schools, crèches and colleges: a staffroom unit with a closed cabinet, so bottles stay out of the way of small hands
