Ozone has been protecting mankind since the beginning of time. We simply take what happens naturally and introduce our "lightning in a bubble" science to your water cooler. Ozone is produced by electrically charging the air (like a lightning bolt during a thunder shower) and the oxygen (O2) molecules in the air become separated and reform temporarily as O3 , or activated oxygen. This is commonly known as OZONE. O3 or ozone is a completely natural and highly effective oxidizer that safely “zaps” all known bacteria, including: E.coli, Swine Flu, Legionella, Mold, Algae and safely removes it from your drinking water. **Q: How does the self-cleaning feature work? do you have to use the self-cleaning feature?** A: The self cleaning feature is activated through a switch that is labeled on the back of the unit. You must press and hold the switch for 5 seconds in order to activate the self clean cooler, this will disinfect all your internal components as well as your water holding tank. You can use the self cleaning feature whenever you want just keep in mind that once active, you cannot dispense water for 30 minutes. We recommend cleaning your cooler 2-4 times a month possibly before you go to bed. **Q: What temperatures are the hot and cold water ?** A: You can make it hotter or colder by 3 degrees by letting the water run into the pan for one to two seconds before filling the cup. There is ambient temperature water in the lines if not used for a while. You can tell by feeling the water temperature with your hand when dispensing the water. But don't put your hand under the hot water. **Q: What are the dimensions for the fill area, from spout to drip tray** A: It is 9 inches from bottom of the 3 spouts to the top surface of the drip tray. However, you can fit a 10" tall container in if you lean it in past the dispenser spout before placing on the drip tray. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great water dispenser, well worth buying *by on Reviewed in the United States October 5, 2020* Prior to buying this Brio water dispenser we owned a Primo brand dispenser (also purchased from Amazon) we were pretty happy with it, for the most part. Over the past few years the primo has developed a taste I didn't care for, but no one else in the house seemed to notice or care. I tried cleaning it with vinegar and water flushes and dilute bleach and water flushes but the taste remained. I figured it was just the brand of 5 gal bottles we were having delivered so I drank a lot of wasteful single serve plastic bottles to avoid the water from the Primo unit. Finally the cooling part of the Primo broke so I started looking for a replacement.I definitely wanted another bottom fed cooler. Once you get rid of that 5 gallon bottle perched on top of your cooler you'll never want to go back. Just not having to deadlift the 50 lb bottle and flip it over without spilling a bunch of water on the floor is reason enough, right? Then there is the nice clean look of the cooler without the bottle perched on the top. Anyway, the Brio is a bottom fed so it fit the bill there. I also liked the sound of the "self cleaning ozone" feature so I decided to give the Brio a try, and I'm so glad I did.This Brio is such an improvement over the Primo it replaced. Let's start with little things. The Brio pump is quieter. No one in our house cares about this but I've seen people complain about noisy bottom fed coolers and the Brio is pretty quiet.The Primo had a room temp button but the water was the nearly the same temp as the cold. It was a pointless and never used button on the PrimoThe Brio room temp button is just that, room temp water. I measured each spout and the cold is 43°F, room temp is 71°F, and hot is 178°F. Now you may already know this but 178°F is a great temp for steeping most white and green teas as well as herbal blends. Oolong and black teas want to be a little hotter (up over 200°F) but for a relaxing cup of sleepytime tea this thing s perfect. The Primo only reached 165F°. Point Brio.Also note you can turn off the hot water in the Brio if you don't want to use it and don't want to waste the energy heating water you won't use. This was the same with the Primo.Tall containers fit better in the Brio. The Brio has a full 1 3/4" (4.5cm for you non-Americans) more space under the spout than the Primo did, a full 10 inches from base to spout as well as a slightly wider perch than the Primo. I can fill my baseball stadium "big ole beer" cups, my Bubba Keg, even my wife's tall 64oz Camelback fits under the Brio nozzle no problem. That never worked with the Primo, you were always holding cups at a weird angle with your finger over the edge to feel when the water was close to the top. Point BrioThe Brio is attractive, at least in my opinion. Black and stainless fit well in most any decor. The Primo was the same color scheme so a wash there.The taste. The water from the Brio is delicious. I don't know what the deal was with the Primo, maybe it was age or some tubing they used I didn't like but I'm back to drinking water from the dispenser instead of destroying the environment with plastic single serve water bottles. I'm going to make regular use of the "self cleaning ozone" feature in hopes of keeping it that way. I much prefer being an environmentally conscious citizen but I just couldn't drink the water from the Primo, it was gross.So I guess you've figured out by now I really love this Brio water cooler and I highly recommend it. It is on the higher priced side of water dispensers but not by a lot and to me, if the self clean feature works it is 100% worth the extra money to have a cooler I will continue using for many years because the water will actually taste good. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it *by on Reviewed in the United States August 24, 2026* First order came used wet and smelling like mildew. Amazon refunded everything and I ordered a new one. Next one came new never used and even packaged differently. So far we love our brio definitely worth it. Easy to unpack and set up. I'll be back to review after a year or so really hoping it last more than a couple years for the price. I purchased the 4 year warranty just in case. The cold temp is really chilled and the hot really hot. The preteens love the hot setting for oatmeal noodles instant potatoes hot chocolate and tea! ### ⭐ Terrible taste after multiple cleanings *by on Reviewed in the United States October 21, 2026* Had this machine for about 3.5 months and the water started to develop a terrible taste. Mind you I use Spring Water only so likely Biofilm. I followed the instructions provided from Brio and did the vinegar cleaning. However the taste still lingered. And this was after repeated attempts and flushing. Still, like the smell of water in an old fish tank. Just gross.I then attempted it again but this time using citric acid hoping it would do the trick. The water tasted great the first few days… but then right back to the funky musty fish tank water taste. I am now reading the reviews of others like me whose machine developed a terrible taste to the water.It’s important to note that this cooler is not the most convenient to drain. The back red plug that connects to the reservoir empties but not all the way. I’ve found I have to hold down all faucets while simultaneously holding a bucket at the back to catch the water from dripping down the edges since the back is not fully vertical in the sense that a bucket fits directly below the spout (thanks to the coils lining the back). It’s truly a very annoying thing to do. Especially if done alone. I also have to tilt the machine back to get water out, and still I find water trapped in the clear pipe inside. I am honestly curious if there is no actual way to fully remove the biofilm and bacteria lining all the nooks and crannies of this cooler, simply because the water sits in areas you can’t drain.Overall the constant need to flush, drain, rinse, and drain again has become excessive to the point where it’s just easier to not use it. Unfortunately, it’s a waste for us. ## Frequently Bought Together - Brio Self Cleaning Bottom Loading Water Cooler Water Dispenser – Limited Edition - 3 Temperature Settings - Hot, Cold & Cool Water - Brio B.P.A.
