Technical Specifications: Benchtop Alkaline Water Purifier & Cooler

Integrated Benchtop Filtration & Dispensing

This compact system combines the passive efficiency of gravity-fed water purification with the temperature control of an electronic compressor cooler. Designed for benchtop installation, it minimizes spatial footprint while delivering both heated and chilled water on demand.

Raw tap water is poured into the top reservoir, where gravity pulls it through a multi-stage micro-filtration matrix. The purified water is then stored in the lower dispensing unit, ensuring a constant supply of alkaline hydration for residential or commercial environments.

Hardware & Dispensing Capabilities

The electronic base unit functions similarly to standard bottled water coolers, utilizing an internal compressor to manage water temperature.

  • Temperature Control: Features independent hot and cold water dispensing tanks.
  • User Interface: Equipped with a digital display for precise temperature monitoring and operational control.
  • Safety Mechanisms: The hot water tap includes a standard mechanical safety lock to prevent accidental dispensing in high-traffic or residential areas.
  • Compressor Reliability: The internal cooling compressor is Australian standard tested and certified, supported by a 2-year manufacturer warranty.

Gravity-Fed Filtration Reservoir

The upper section consists of a BPA-free plastic container, available in either 16-liter or 20-liter capacities. This passive system requires no plumbing connection, relying entirely on gravity to push water through the active media.

8-Stage Micro-Filtration

The system utilizes an 8-stage filter cartridge engineered to reduce chemical contaminants and physical particulates while passively adding trace minerals to alkalize the output.

  • Microplastics Reduction: The filtration media operates at a 0.5-micron threshold, effectively isolating and eliminating microplastics commonly found in municipal tap water.
  • Chemical Adsorption: Significantly decreases free chlorine and municipal additives, acting to soften the water and improve its baseline structure for drinking and cooking.
  • Mineralization: Restores essential trace minerals back into the water after the primary filtration stages are complete.

Filtration Maintenance: To maintain optimal micro-plastic reduction and flow rates, the 8-stage cartridge must be replaced at regular intervals. Replacement media can be sourced from our water filters collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this unit require a direct connection to my plumbing?

No. This is a freestanding benchtop unit. The top reservoir is manually refilled with tap water, making it suitable for renters, offices, or areas where modifying plumbing is not an option.

How does the filter manage to remove microplastics?

The 8-stage filter cartridge includes a physical filtration layer with a 0.5-micron porosity rating. Because most microplastics are larger than 0.5 microns, they are physically trapped within the filter media and prevented from entering the lower drinking reservoir.

Does the filtration process require electricity?

The filtration process itself is entirely gravity-fed and requires no electricity. However, the base unit must be plugged into a standard electrical outlet to operate the compressor for chilling and heating the filtered water.

Are there any safety features on the hot water tap?

Yes. The dispensing unit features a dedicated hot water safety lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental burns, making it safer for environments with diverse foot traffic.

Shipping and Delivery Policy

Ace Water Shop can ship to virtually any address in mainland Australia, including Tasmania. Unfortunately, outlying islands off the mainland may incur extra charges.

Note that there are restrictions on some products. Our free shipping offer delivers to most areas around Australia, but some regional areas may incur extra charges from the transport company for delivery to your door.

Freight is calculated per order, based on the destination and items being shipped. We provide free shipping for metro areas, but outside these areas, we request a quote upon receiving an order. Freight costs depend on the cubic size and/or weight of the product, the destination, and the level of service required.

If an item cannot be delivered to the provided address or if you place an order without acknowledging the freight quote, we will contact you via email with the extra shipping fee after the order is paid. You will need to pay the extra fee for the order to be delivered. Orders without shipment service or those declined due to extra shipping fees will be canceled and refunded automatically with email notification.

Change of Mind Request Procedure

We offer a 30-day no-questions-asked return policy for our ace water filtration systems, minus return shipping costs. We also offer an unlimited 2-year warranty on our compressors and a 12-month warranty on all parts of our Ace Water Coolers & Purifiers.

  1. Consult with us about any change of mind refund request before returning the product.
  2. Contact us via email at acewatercoolers@gmail.com or chat with us on the website, providing pictures or video that shows the condition of the received product and explaining why you wish to return it.
  3. Returns due to change of mind must be arranged by the customer.
  4. If a change of mind return is accepted, we will refund the item price minus return postage and a restocking fee of 10% of the item price and the shipping fee, or just the restocking fee if no return address was provided. For items returned to sender before receipt, the refund will include a restocking fee and the shipping fee, provided after the item is received back at our facility.

Waterworks Water Coolers Warranty

We offer a 36-month comprehensive warranty on bottle top & POU coolers and the IC8 chiller from the date of purchase. Most transactions may not be covered by the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), but all goods are warranted to the level provided by Waterworks Australia. Returns, for warranty purposes or otherwise, must be pre-approved and at our expense.
