Primo Water Dispenser Review

Last summer, we turned our garage into an insulated playroom so give us the extra space we needed and to give a home to all the toys that go along with three kids. My kids love to go out to the garage and play. But, they spent a lot of time going in and out because they needed a drink! I thought it would be absolutely perfect to have a water dispenser out in the garage so they could grab a cup and then get refills out there without having to track their toys along with them into the house to get a drink. They always ended up putting the toys down somewhere and forgetting along the way leaving a trail of toys from our garage down the hallway and to the kitchen. It is very convenient to have clean filtered water right within their reach while they play. The water dispenser is easy enough that my boys are able to use it while still being safe. The switches at the back of the water dispenser allow you to turn off hot water so that concern is never there. Even if you leave the hot water on, there is a slide and push button used to dispense hot water, which makes it much harder for little hands to figure out. It is extremely simple to replace the water jugs and the water dispenser looks very nice in our home.

Primo Water has five different Bottom Loading Water Dispensers available starting at $219.
