Drip Trays and How to Changing them
The Water Delivery Company is always asked the same inquiries and in response to that Id like to use these notes to give some simple outlines to the more commonly asked questions. One of the first things that seem to arise when someone gets a cooler for the first time is ‘The Drip Tray is Full – How Do I Empty It?’.Over time the drip tray of the water coolers will overflow and if you don’t empty it then you’ll end up with water on the floor – damaging a laminate or wooden floor or potentially damaging a carpet – so its essential to drain the tray regularly. Another problem that can arise from not emptying the drip tray is the build up of bacteria and algae – the drip tray is unhygienic and it looks unsightly. To begin – take off any tray which may sit on top of your drip tray. Many water coolers have this offering a support tray for any cups being used.. With a littel firm pressure the drip trays can easily unclip allowing the grill to be removed. Once the grill has been removed you’ll be able to get a firmer hold on the drip tray itself. Again using firm pressure pull the drip reservoir towards you it unclips easily. Drain any water into a sink or bucket. Give the inside of the drip tray a wipe with a cleaning cloth and you may like to use a little gentle cleansing fluid or detergent at this stage just to thoroughly disinfect the drip tray and optimise its hygiene level. Once the dripreservoir is empty you can simply clip it back into place using firm pressure. You’ll sense the click as it clips back into home. Then replace the grill if the tray has one and you’re finished!
