Glacier Bay Water CoolerAuthor: Dave Date: 06.24.23 - 4:52pm The Glacier Bay hot/cold water cooler is not a sanitary design :( 
I was looking for a water cooler only, but could only find machines with hot and cold. This causes a problem in that the unused side, the water will stagnate and grow nasties. Additionally, on units that have a single shared water outlet, there is an another problem...there is a T between the two valves. If you only use the cold water, the shared T on the outlet side of the hot water valve will be filled, but never drain. Again growing all kinds of nasties! I started getting a weird taste, then a giant glob of floating black shit plopped out a week later. Took me a while to figure out where that came from! Also, if you drain it and leave it unused for a while, you must know about the drain plug at the back of the machine. Without draining that the hot water tank will remain full and get nasty. I didnt want to junk the machine, but it really had to be reworked. (Note that its not really made to be serviceable) So here is what I did.
Thats a lot of work and some tight fishing without taking it all apart. In the end, just buy a different model. If you dont need hot water, get a cold water unit only. Do not buy a unit with a single shared outlet for both hot and cold. Comments: (0) |
