How to assess the location for installation
When installing water dispensers in your office, place them in areas where employees can easily take breaks and stay hydrated, as proper hydration is key to enhancing productivity. For easy access, ensure dispensers are positioned in high-traffic areas like the reception area, break rooms, and kitchens. This will ensure regular use while avoiding direct sunlight and ensuring cleanliness to maintain water quality.
