The sales department were able to answer all of the questions related to the job we needed done. They made suggestions on what products and services were best suited to get everything complete. The whole experience was professional and hassle free. From start to finish the service was fantastic, and the job that was undertaken is now complete and the water fountain is working without fault.
Gyms and sporting clubs rely on multiple water fountains to help keep members hydrated for physical activity. It's paramount that these water fountains keep up with the heavy demand of members and staff.
Maintaining a gym water fountain can be very complex and time-consuming. The Water People are dedicated to making gym water fountain maintenance easy with long-term service partnerships. Using our industry leading software, we keep track of the service history of each gym water fountain to ensure they're always maintained and working correctly.
The maintenance mangaer of Virgin Active contacted The Water People in May 2018 with the challenge of 5 on-site wall recessed drinking fountains (not supplied by The Water People) that were not chilling. Gym members were complaining the drinking water was not cold enough. The internal chassis (chillers) had broken down and the systems were only around 4 - 5 years old.
After an initial free on-site inspection and some product research, The Water People discovered that the manufacturer of the existing drinking fountains was asking exorbitant prices for replacement chillers. The manufacturer was no longer making the internal chillers required for the fountains. We had to come up with a cost-effective and efficient solution.
To save Virgin Active from the huge expense of replacing all of their drinking systems with new ones, we came up with a workaround solution. Our solution was to simply replace the internal chillers with the Australian made Waterlux 14 litre chiller, an internal inline filter and fittings kit. All of these parts were measured on site. Ventilation was set up and we provided the systems for their on-site maintenance technician to replace, under our guidance on site himself.
The result? Five drinking water systems are now dispensing cold, filtered and refrigerated water. We've now established a great relationship with other Virgin Active branches both local and interstate. These branches have also opted to repair their drinking systems with our own tailored solution.
Drinking fountains for gyms and sporting clubs should be able to provide clean drinking water for its health-conscious patrons. Our licensed plumbers can provide regular servicing, maintenance, and emergency repairs to ensure your drinking fountain will always dispense healthy drinking water.
Some sporting facilities choose to rent a gym water fountain instead of purchasing them outright. Renting a gym water fountain can be a more cost-effective solution seeing as you can include servicing, maintenance, and filter changes in the rental fee.
Certainly. Send us an enquiry via our contact page, and we'll gladly provide you with a professionally written quote you can include with your government sporting grant application.
Yes, it is. We can even provide you with filter change instructions if you need or offer phone assistance. Please keep in mind that when you change your water filters ensure you check all lines and connections coming into and out of the system.
It's important that any parts that are leaking or aged be replaced to avoid expensive fitting ruptures and flooding risk. We also mail out our filters Australia wide on a regular mail out service with no postage fees associated.
Yes, we supply and service Australia wide. Our warehouse and head office is located in Melbourne, however, we have a handpicked network of highly skilled and qualified service technicians Australia wide.
Yes. Most likely it's the internal chassis (or chiller) that has run its course. We can replace the internal chassis but it may prove to be more costly than just replacing the entire drinking fountain. Ask us and we'll advise you based on the age of your system and usage.
This is very common with gyms and sporting clubs as the manufacture's standard bottle filler tap can appear to retract and bend when in fact it is not designed to do so.
The simple and most cost effective solution (that tap costs around $78) is to remove this tap and replace it with one like our Antique Water Filter Tap. Replacements like this don't bend and you'll get a longer service life out of this repair solution.
More than likely it is the filters blocking up and restricting water flow. If it has been more than 6-months, then it's probably time to replace the water filter. A new water filter will most likely fix the pressure issue with your gym water fountain.
All gym water fountains should be installed by a licensed plumber. They require a water inlet and a waste drain outlet. A licensed plumber will need to conduct the installation to industry regulations and standards.
We can supply a system for your with all the fittings needed ready for your local plumber to install. We recommend you consult with your local plumber first so they can provide you with an installation quote. Your plumber should be able to provide you with a quote of works required to ensure the installation of a gym water fountain within your facility is a viable option.
