Direct answer: Office water cooler maintenance includes exterior cleaning, sanitation, filter replacement when applicable, leak checks, temperature and flow checks, and inspection of connections and worn parts.
The required tasks differ between bottled and bottleless units. Follow manufacturer instructions and define which work employees perform versus the service provider.
Routine workplace tasks
Keep dispensing areas and drip trays clean, watch for leaks or unusual taste and report faults promptly. Do not open or sanitize internal components without the approved procedure.
Provider maintenance tasks
The service plan may cover filters, internal sanitation, scale, connections, temperature systems, parts and repairs. Review cooler maintenance needs and the responsibility checklist.
