Water Cooler!

[darmontie]

As the subject line really. We're wanting to purchase a water cooler to save on lugging bottles of water back from the supermarket and were wondering if anyone could advise on where best to buy from and the the cost of purchase an running the unit (bottles of water)? 

Thanks,

First stop for a water cooler would probably be Eren Spot

You can get 19ltr bottles of water delivered by the gas delivery companies. At the mom it is 5tl + 10tl deposit for the first bottle. If you don't want to bother with a water cooling unit, they can also supply a hand pump for around 10tl.

Saw one in kippa for about 120ytl I think. Saw on in Ciftlik for about 100

We use hand pump with 19ltr bottles. Water is 5 pump was 8.

Kipa water cooler 159tl, on offer. The cold is perfect drinking temperature and it will also do hot. The water bottles are 8tl via our man at Violet. I think they are also 19 litre but have to be of thicker plastic so that they do not implode under vacuum. The cheapest we found at Eren Spot were about 220tl.

Little shop in Ciftlik had one at 100ytl. Not sure about plastic thickness Ken. Ones we get for 5 are very similar to ones we have at work and we just plonk them on and use. More likely pressure release valve failing will cause it to collapse.

If you want a used one there's a place half a mile past Tansas towards Fethiye on the same side of the road sell them in there. They also do fans, coal burners and barbecues too

HI   

A neighbour of mine bought a cheapish one and the water tasted awful, it tasted of plastic.  She couldn't even give it away.  So becareful and make sure you check the quality out first before you buy.

We also use a 5Tl hand pump and there's nothing wrong with it, cheap and nasty but it works fine !, if we want cold water we always keep 2 Ltrs in the fridge + ice;  19 Ltrs of water delivered from a local shop (cow shop Tasyaka) 5Tl, (10 Tl for initial bottle) delivered, once they get used to where you live no problems.
