How to Install a Home Just Water Cooler

Staying hydrated at home has never been easier—or more eco-friendly. Whether you’re using one of our space-efficient bench top water coolers or a stylish floor-standing model, setup is simple. 

We offer both convenient water delivery services and fill-your-own options in your choice of white or black colour, so you can choose the solution that best fits your lifestyle

Ready to set yours up? Whether you choose to fill your own bottle or use our delivery service, your hydration upgrade starts today!

What You’ll Need

• Your Just Water water cooler (bench top or floor standing)
• A nearby power point
• A water bottle – either:
• A fill-your-own refillable bottle (perfect for filtered tap water), or
• A Just Water reusable delivery bottle if you’ve signed up for our delivery service.

 

💧 Setting Up a “Fill Your Own” Water Cooler

This eco-friendly option gives you full control over your water source and provides unlimited filtered water for only $1.10 per day! It's ideal for households using filtered or boiled tap water.

Step-by-Step Guide:

Choose the Location

• Place your cooler on a stable surface near a power point. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.​​​​

Prepare the Bottle

• Fill your refillable water bottle with clean, filtered water. Ensure the cap is secure and that the water tab remains in place—this prevents spills during installation.

Install the Filter Kit

• 🎥 Watch the Easy Fill Setup Video

Install the Bottle

• Carefully invert the bottle and place it on top of the cooler. The internal spike will puncture the cap, enabling water to enter the reservoir

Plug It In

• Connect the cooler to the power supply and switch it on. Chilling will take 30–60 minutes, depending on your model.

REMINDER: If you have a hot/cold unit, switch on the heating function located behind the cooler (behind the grill).

Ready to Pour

• Use both taps to test water flow and ensure the cooler is chilling (and heating, if applicable) correctly.

Plug In the Unit

• Connect the power cord and switch it on. Allow 30–60 minutes to chill.

REMINDER: For hot/cold models, turn on the heating switch located behind the grill.
