Culligan's New Aqua-Cleer Bottle-less Coolers Offer Quality Water, Convenience and Savings at the Of
CHICAGO, IL, July 23, 2009 - Culligan, a leader in water treatment solutions for more than 70 years, just introduced its new line of Aqua-Cleer(R) Point of Use (POU) bottle-less coolers1 for commercial businesses and residential homes. Bottle-less coolers are perfect for small, high traffic areas such as hotels, offices and lobbies where space is limited. Because the water comes directly from the building's existing water source and is automatically filtered for drinking, there's no more heavy lifting, delivery or storage of five gallon bottles. And because bottle-less coolers don't use water bottles, they offer businesses an unlimited supply of high quality drinking water on demand.
"Our customers have told us that they are always looking to incorporate greener business practices and to save money, especially in today's current economy. Culligan's bottle-less coolers help address both issues. Some of our customers claim they've not only reduced plastic waste, but have saved between 20 to 50 percent on drinking water expenses monthly by switching to a point-of-use system," says Sean Kajcienski, Vice President of POU at Culligan International.
Bottle-Less But Feature-Rich
Culligan bottle-less coolers use the company's newest and most advanced Aqua-Cleer filtration system. This next-generation filtration technology features 13 filter options which can be custom-tailored to local water conditions and individual needs. Customers can choose from a simple sediment or carbon filter up to a multi-stage reverse osmosis system. The Aqua-Cleer family also includes specialty cartridges for such contaminants as arsenic, perchlorate and volatile organics.2
Culligan's Aqua-Cleer bottle-less coolers are available in four models suited to different business sizes and drinking water needs. These include:
CC Ultra: available as a free-standing tower or mini countertop system, this cooler provides state of the art features. With its lighted push buttons, electronic controls, biological growth resistant "bio-cote" exterior, UV light and energy-saving hot tank sleep mode, it's the ideal choice for any business setting.
CC Custom: the large internal storage reservoir makes this free-standing cooler a great option for applications requiring reverse osmosis or nanofiltration. Designed to work with five stages of treatment, this system includes built-in automatic leak detection and shut-off.
CC Plus/Plus UV: this popular, mid-range cooler offers a sleek style for basic water dispensing needs. With hot and cold dispensing ability, a hot water safety lock and a large four liter cold water tank, this workhorse dispenses drinking water with ease.
CC Basic: an economical bottle-less cooler option, this sturdy tower provides hot/cold water, a single Aqua Cleer head for remote mounting and a dual float device shut-off for enhanced safety - making this ideal for smaller businesses, waiting rooms and reception areas.
