GE bottled water dispensers provide chilled, heated or room temperature water at the touch of a button. All GE bottled water dispensers include two separate faucets — one with instant access to cold water for drinking, and the other with instant access to hot water for instant soups and beverages. GE's newest dispensesers offer a third faucet for room tempurature water!
Using a bottled water dispenser instead of single-use water bottles can save a consumer cash and reduces the amount of waste added to landfills. Over 90 percent of all single-use bottles end up as waste. That's over 27 million bottles a year. GE ENERGY STAR® water dispensers can save a consumer up to 25 percent of the energy required to operate the dispenser.

The price of bottled water from single-use bottles is more than twice that of water in three- and five-gallon returnable bottles. By converting from single-use water bottles to a GE water dispenser American consumers could save more than US$ 1.4 billion annually.

GE's successful product line of water dispensers has expanded to include a new model with a convenient refreshment chiller compartment at the base of the dispenser. At home or at work, the GE Water Dispenser with Refreshment Chiller is the perfect solution for those who want quick access to hot or cold water and to beverages and non-perishable snacks. Other features include:
» Separate faucets for chilled (50 degrees F) water for drinking, hot (194 degrees F) water for instant soups and beverages and room temperature water for cooking (depending on model selected)
» All dispensers accept three- and five-gallon water bottles (water bottles not included)
» Easy-to-use push-button faucets or levers
» Child-resistant hot water faucet
» Easy-to-read indicator lights
» Limited one-year warranty
The refreshment chiller feature is available in the GE Profile™ Tri-Temperature Water Dispenser (model #:GXCF25F). This unit dispenses hot, cold and room-temperature water from push-button faucets.
Benefits
» Sixty percent of GE water dispensers are ENERGY STAR®-qualified which means they must use less than 1.2 kWh of energy per day — less than a 60-watt light bulb uses if it were left on for 24 hours.
» Energy conservation settings that are pre-programmed into the GE Profile ENERGY STAR®-qualified water dispenser (GXCF35GBS) can help a consumer save up to 25 percent of the energy it otherwise takes to run the unit. In addition, the consumer can adjust the temperature on the hot water setting lower, or even automatically turn the unit off when it's not being used, to further reduce energy usage and increase consumer savings.
» Switching to a GE ENERGY STAR®-qualified water dispenser could save a consumer at least 13 percent of the energy it takes to run a water dispenser that is not ENERGY STAR®-qualified.
» If Americans reduced the number of non-recycled individual-use water bottles by half by using refillable containers with water from GE water dispensers, they would save nearly 5.5 billion bottles in the U.S. every year. If all of those bottles were lined up top to bottom, they would make a line of bottles more than 746,000 miles long — the equivalent of 30 trips around the Earth at the equator.
» If Americans reduced the number of non-recycled individual-use water bottles by half by using refillable containers with water from GE water dispensers, we could save 165 million cubic feet of landfill space per year. That's the volume of 4 1/2 Empire State Buildings.
» If Americans reduced the number of non-recycled individual-use water bottles by half by using refillable containers with water from GE water dispensers, we could save 4.73 billion kilowatt hours per year of energy in plastic bottle production. That's enough energy to meet the electrical needs of the households in Detroit, Michigan, for more than one year.
» If Americans reduced the number of non-recycled individual-use water bottles by half by using refillable containers with water from GE water dispensers, they could save over one billion pounds of greenhouse gasses from plastic bottle production. That is equivalent to taking 90,700 cars off of U.S. roadways every year.
» If Americans reduced the total number of individual-use water bottles by half by using refillable containers with water from GE water dispensers, the total consumer savings would be almost US$ 1.4 billion per year. (Based on average price of individual-size bottled water sold at Wal-Mart stores.)
» Water from a five-gallon bottle used on a water dispenser costs almost 60 percent less than individual-use bottled water. (Based on average price of individual-size bottled water sold at Wal-Mart.)
