We saved over $1200 dollars a year by converting our water cooler to a bottle free water cooler. I searched the internet for a solution to buying Sparklets drinking water and did not find anything. Times are tough and $100 dollars a month could be used some where else. I put together a conversion kit that you can tap into your water line using an ice maker water line kit and run a line to your water cooler. It will automatically fill the tank instead of lifting a bottle or running to the store to fill a bottle. We also put a simple Culligan water filter inline and voila Bottle Free Water Cooler.
Check out complete details at Lukeup.com. Bottle Free Water Coolers cost up to and over $500 dollars. Whew, money money money. Here’s a picture of the kit.
You can also use this kit to modify your counter top coffee maker. I have not tried it but you can tap into your kitchen sink water supply using an ice maker supply line kit from lowes or home depot. Use the a power cord plugged into the dishwasher power or garbage disposal power under the sink. It should be installed by a handyman or some one that knows how to work with electrical. Get someone to help you if you don’t know how. Water and Electricity do not mix if you don’t know what you’re doing.
