A 5 gallon water cooler is exactly what you need when you have a large group of people to keep hydrated. Whether for a sports team, a construction crew, a summer camp, or whatever use you can put it to, a 5 gallon water cooler will allow you to have plenty of liquid on hand. Take them with you wherever you need to go. These coolers are completely mobile and ready to be hauled anywhere. There are well insulated and are able to keep the drink cold for hours.
5 gallon water coolers are quite durable and sturdy. The one thing about them that will break sometimes is the spigot on the front. This usually happens either when someone bangs it with something or else if it is thrown down on the dispenser in front. You can get a 5 gallon water cooler that will have less chance to break if you buy one with a recessed dispenser in the front. This prevents the dispenser from protruding off the side of the cooler and be prone to being broken off.
Make sure you keep the lid screwed down really tight. They have a tendency to leak liquid a little bit if the lid is not screwed down really tight. And when you are ready to dispense the water you may have to loosen the lid a little because sometimes a vacuum can be created inside the cooler and keep the water from coming out quickly unless you do this. We haul our 5 gallon water cooler all over the place and will continue to buy these whenever one of them breaks.
