## Description

No lines. No plumbing. No hassle. The Brio 520 water dispenser offers all the convenience of a filtered cooler without the need for a plumbing hook-up. The bottom-load design accommodates long-lasting 5-gallon jugs, and when refill time comes, just slide the replenished bottle into the cabinet. You and your family can enjoy filtered hot, cold, or room temperature water with the dual-filtration process delivering consistently pure water by removing sediments, chlorine taste, and harmful contaminants before they reach glasses and water bottles. The hot water button has a child safety switch that prevents accidental dispensing. Bright LED icons indicate when your water is at the right temperature, and when filters need to be replaced and your bottle needs to be refilled. The cleaning process is a breeze—with the press of a button, the self-cleaning ozone feature thoroughly sanitizes the entire dispenser. A twenty-first-century essential, the Brio 520 water dispenser comes in a sleek and durable stainless steel design that will complement any home’s interior.

Review: Very Happy So Far! - I waited about a month to review this. This unit replaced a similar one from a different manufacturer that lasted about 5 years. So far, I’m very happy overall. The cold water is cold, the hot is plenty hot enough for coffee, tea, etc. The unit filters out the chemical taste from our city water supply and is comparable to bottled water. The 5gal bottle from the last unit fit fine. This may not be the same for every 5gal jug as the filters take up a lot of space. The room temperature water is a bit cold. This is probably due to a lack of insulation between the two reservoirs. The minor negatives are the filters are a bit difficult to install and require a lot of torque. The LED light isn’t in a great position for filling large water bottles. The drip tray isn’t held in very securely and easily pulls out. I haven’t tried the recommended cleaning method yet but will update if I have any issues.
Review: Great dispenser and comes with a bottle - Works exactly as expected. Also note that it does come with a 5 gallon bottle but it doesn't say that on the description. So no need to buy one separately. Otherwise the only issue I had installing was it gave a drainage tube but no real way to connect it and it didn't really explain how to use the tube so I just had it pour out the hole directly into a bucket.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far this is a great water cooler, just hope it holds up
*by M***A on December 9, 2024*

I have had a water cooler with a zero water filter on top of the cooler. When the cooler broke down I had to make a choice of what kind of filtered cooler I want to get. When I saw this brio cooler I decided that this was the one I wanted. It is pretty expensive way to go but when I compared the cost of these filters compared to two of the zero water filters it made my choice a lot easier. Then I looked at how it looks in my kitchen compared to the old cooler and that made it a done deal. The only thing I hesitate over is how will it hold up over time, so far it is working great, the water I’m getting from it tastes great better than the zero water filtered water and that’s saying a lot. The zero water has a test result of 0 for a couple weeks then it goes up, in a month it goes up to the 20s, in a couple months it would go up to the 50s or more. This filter is in the low 20s and that’s where is is staying. But honestly the taste is what I really care about. When the water begins to taste off, or when I can taste fluoride the filter gets changed. I must say I’m really glad I switched water coolers but now I need to get rid of my old zero water filters to help pay for it.
