All of our water filtration systems are called Point Of Use (POU). This means that the water line carrying cold tap water from local municipal (city) sources is cut into two pieces for the purpose of installing a high-end commercial grade water filter. Once In-Line water filters are correctly installed on the tap water line, water flows through your existing water line into the water filtration system. The result—instantly, fresh filtered water that has been cleaned at the exact point in which you’re ready to drink it.
Direct Chill is becoming an increasingly popular method of dispensing water in POU water coolers. The attraction of the system is that the drinking water isn't stored in a reservoir prior to drinking - reservoirs have air above the water which makes an ideal place for bacteria to grow and allows water to go stale. The WaterTrail has the exact same benefits - water does not come into contact with air until dispense which keeps it cleaner and less prone to contamination.
