Our WRAS approved Plumbed Water Coolers
Only certain parts of our range of plumbed water coolers and water cooler accessories is WRAS approved. Approval takes water cooler suppliers and importers a long time and certain parts of the market are not targetted at companies who understand the value of this level of certification.
The Dream plumbed water cooler is imported by a great supplier we have in the UK – they refer to this plumbed water cooler as the WCBC 3300 and we have been supplying it to customers for over five years now.
Details on the certification can be found on the WRAS website page listing WRAS approved water coolers.
