Water Cooler Talk… FAQs

Why clean a water cooler?

Because clean water deserves a clean ride.
Even purified water can pick up dust, mold, and mineral buildup as it flows through your cooler. Every bottle change, every air bubble, every pour adds up. A regular deep clean keeps the system pure, the taste fresh, and your staff safe.


How often should I service my water cooler?

Think of it like a tune-up — every 3 to 6 months is the sweet spot.
Busy offices and high-traffic spaces? You’ll want it closer to the 3-month mark. Fewer users? You can stretch it a bit longer.


So… what does a proper cleaning actually look like?

Here’s how we do it at E & U Water Coolers — no shortcuts, no wipe-and-go jobs:
Full disassembly — every part gets a proper scrubdown
Sanitization with food-safe, approved solutions
Rinse cycles to make sure no chemical residue is left behind
Inspection for mold, mineral buildup, or hidden grime
Reassembly & testing in a clean, controlled space

Basically, your cooler comes back looking and performing like it just clocked in on its first day.


Can’t I just clean it on-the-spot myself?

Sure — if you don’t mind skipping half the process.
“On-the-spot” cleanings sound quick and convenient, but real sanitization needs time, tools, and a sanitary setup. We deep-clean in our own facility where everything’s designed for hygiene and precision.


How long does the full service take?

Usually 24 to 48 hours once no repairs are needed. We’ll pick it up, work our magic, and return it ready to refresh you and your staff. Easy.


What happens if I don’t clean it?

Skipping maintenance means bacteria, residue, and funky odors can creep in — not to mention it shortens your cooler’s lifespan.


Why trust E & U with the job?

With over 20 years experience, we still treat every client like a VIP and every cooler with the same care and detail as the first one we ever cleaned.
Our process is tried, tested, and 100% focused on sanitation and trust.
