ped with a direct cooling system, negative influences from the outside will not affect the
temperature of the water. By the use of a water filter funny tastes, if any, will be removed
and the flavour of water will be even more optimal. The OptiCool also means no more lif-
ting of heavy bottles and no need to keep bottles in stock, which will save you costs and
space.
