The Brio Moderna 3-Stage Black Stainless Bottleless Countertop Water Cooler is a point-of-use water dispenser that connects directly to a building's cold water line, eliminating the need for replacement water bottles. It dispenses hot, cold, and room-temperature water and has a compact countertop footprint with a black stainless finish.
Incoming water passes through three stages of filtration: a sediment filter that removes sand, rust, dirt, and other suspended solids; a pre-carbon filter that reduces chlorine and unpleasant tastes and odors; and a carbon block filter that performs a final polish to remove residual impurities.
The dispenser is operated from a touch panel with an LED display that also shows a clock. Cold water can be set to three temperature levels (C1 through C3) and hot water to three levels (H1 through H3). The hot water button is protected by a child safety lock to help prevent unintended dispensing, and the heating feature can be switched off entirely.
The cooler includes a UV self-cleaning system that runs on a continuous automatic cycle, on for 40 minutes and off for 140 minutes while the dispenser is plugged in and on. The reservoirs are stainless steel. A filter indicator light, accompanied by an audible beep when filters expire, signals when the filters need replacement. The unit is for indoor use, installed on a hard, level countertop near a grounded outlet, with at least 8 in. of clearance behind it for airflow.
