Relocating Your Water Dispenser? How To Prepare For It
Relocating your water dispenser is a big task. There’s a lot to think about and prepare for. But with our handy guide, you’ll be able to get everything sorted in no time.
1. Decide Where You Want Your Water Dispenser To Go
This seems like an obvious first step, but it is important to think about where you want your water dispenser to be located. You need to have enough space for both the unit and any bottles or jugs that you’ll be using with it. If you’re planning on using a lot of water, you might want to consider putting your water dispenser near a sink for easy filling.
2. Measure THE SPACE
Once you’ve decided on a location, make sure to measure the space. This will help you determine what size water dispenser you need. You’ll also want to make sure that there’s enough clearance around the unit so that you can easily access it.
3. Understand The Type of Unit You Have
There are two main types of water dispensers – floor standing and countertop. Floor standing units are larger and more expensive, but they are also more durable and have a higher capacity. Countertop units are smaller, more affordable, and easier to install, but they may not be as durable or have as high of a capacity.
Steps To Disconnect Your Water Dispenser For Your Mover
1. Turn off the water supply to your dispenser. Usually, there will be a shut-off valve located behind the unit.
2. Drain any remaining water from the dispenser by holding down the button or lever for the hot and cold water.
3. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
4. Detach the water line from the back of the unit. You may need to use a wrench to loosen the connection.
5. Pack up all of the parts and accessories for your dispenser. Make sure to label everything so you will know where it goes when you set up your new dispenser.
6. Proceed to transport your water dispenser
Now that you have disconnected your water dispenser you can move on to setting up your new water dispenser.
There are actually 2 options that you have.
Option 1: Pay For Transport + Installation
If you want to get your new water dispenser set up quickly and without any hassle, then you can opt to pay for transport and installation.
A professional will help to disconnect your water dispenser from the old location and also move it to the new location and install it.
Option 2: Pay Only For Installation
If you are comfortable with disconnecting and moving your water dispenser (or getting your mover to do the job for you) to the new location yourself, then you can just pay for installation.
A professional will come and install your new water dispenser at the new location.
Once you have decided on the option that you want, you can proceed to transport and/or install your water dispenser.
What Does Installation Entail?
Installing a water dispenser usually includes the following steps:
1. Unpacking the water dispenser from its box and checking that all the parts are accounted for.
2. Assembling (if needed) the water dispenser according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.
3. Mounting the water dispenser on a suitable location
