Offices in Bloemfontein around Hilton, Brandwag and the CBD generally want hot and cold units, with bottom-loading coolers in executive suites.

Drinking water in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is supplied by Bloem Water from the Welbedacht and Rustfontein dams, linked through the Caledon-Bloemfontein pipeline, with the Mangaung metro handling distribution. Water is generally treated to a good standard, but ageing mains, reservoirs running low and pump stations hit by power cuts have caused outages in Botshabelo, Thaba Nchu and some older suburbs. The water carries moderate hardness and a chlorine edge in places. Hospitals, the university, courts, banks, schools and the retail strips of Brandwag, Westdene and Langenhoven Park keep dispenser demand steady all year, and winter frost does not stop the summer rush for cold water.
