There is an item in my house that I dread maintaining every week, it is my water cooler.  I think that water coolers are great.  I absolutely love having purified water ready for use at either a hot or cold temperature.   Although water coolers themselves serve a good function they are difficult to maintain.  The use of filling a glass with water is not difficult but changing the empty water bottles and replacing with new one is extremely difficult.  I am an ambled bodied female of average height and weight and find the task nearly impossible for me to accomplish.  This is why I chose to brainstorm ideas of how to make it more usable for everyone. The average purified water bottle comes in 18.9 liters weighting approximately forty-two lbs.  The average water cooler system is of a height of three ft.  Water is forced into the cooling mechanism by the force of gravity which is why bottles are stored on top of the devices and placed upside down.  This means that a forty-two lbs bottle of water has to be lifted over three feet and turned upside in order to properly fit on top of the water cooler.  This is not a task that can be accomplished by many people.-         See figure #1 Too make water coolers more accessible to users the water bottle cannot be lifted.  By placing the water underneath the water cooling devices the process of lifting is eliminated.  I would propose to have the water bottle remain at a floor level and incorporating a pump system that would transfer the water through the cooling mechanisms.  This pump system could be used with hoses that would be placed inside the water bottle at the opening in the top.                        - See figure # 2 No changes would need to be made to the actual water bottles allowing use for both old and new universal water coolers.  Adding a door to the façade of the cooler would hide all of the hoses, pump devices and water cooling mechanisms allowing the water cooler to remain esthetically pleasing and usable in all residential or commercial spaces.
