water cooler/water dispenser in Malaga?

Postby qe2ex » Fri Sep 06, 2019 9:47 pm

Anyone know where I can find one? Tried Leroy Merlin and shops near IKEA, and also some others, but not found one. One lady in a small shop seemed to want to suggest where I could go, so I'm thinking it's possible to find here, but unfortunately I could not understand her.

Thinking of ordering from amazon.es if I can't find any local, but it looks like a lot of that is Chinese stuff of dubious quality.

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried there today, but no such luck.

Not too sure, but don't you go to a distributor (with vans) who deliver water in BIG plastic containers for fitting to chillers/dispensers that they "loan" to you? Mostly found in commercial offices/hairdressers etc? Less usual in domestic situations.

There is a Spanish company that does this which tries to get clients with spam telephone calls pretending to be carrying out a survey. I received several until I blocked their numbers. I am certainly not going to give them any publicity on this forum.

No doubt there are, but my neighbour has such a contract and seems satisfied EXCEPT there is a minimum number of water containers per week and as she lives alone, finds it a bit too much to drink!!!!! Caveat emptor I guess!

do you want to buy one or rent one?

and do you want to use 6L bottles (50c each, lidl) or 19L bottles (€6.00 each, delivered to your door) ?

Yeah, but one should be able to find them for sale too. They keep the water chilled (which often makes it taste a bit better), and you can easily add a filter such as this too, mostly to improve the taste of water. I'm starting to get used to the taste here now, but still prefer it going through the filter and cooler, and a decent cooler should last 5+ years without problems, so it's a small investment.

I have the filter and water tank already, so just looking for the water cooler/dispenser.

Should anyone else be interested, I ended up ordering from this company: https://simex.es/producto/fuentes-de-ag ... -plastico/

They shipped it promptly and for a reasonable fee. Product seems to be good too.
