Water Cooler Puncture
I see a gathering of coders outside my office, around the water cooler. They are trying to find out why the water cooler is leaking all over the place. One said to look for a hole in the bottle. After some investigation work (almost used windex to find the hole) we found it. We were thinking of covering the hole with gum, tape and even chop sticks, but ended up going a different route.
As you can see, we used an empty water bottle to transfer the water from the broken water bottle into a good one. To help automate the process, since we are all about automation, Ronnie stacked a box of paper under the bottle to hold it in place and secured the lever in the down position.
The water is now transferred but now we have a mess to clean up. Lots of water in the carpet from the spill.
This situation reminds me of a very old blog post on our Sunbeam Water Cooler leaking. You should see the number of comments on that post - about 400 now, from people with the same issue.

I think it will be a lot easier for you to just remove the broken water bottle without having to transfer the water into another water bottle, right? I have the same problem like you, 5 times as I remember.

I also have had experience like you. I do not know the cause of my water cooling could leak because I just bought it a few days and it's very troublesome to me. Is it possible the water cooler that I bought it is the result of a failed product? Well, maybe...

You'd be surprised what type of traffic and buzz a post like this can generate. You never know. The 4 minutes I invested in writing this, might be worth it. I guess 'John Doe', you have nothing better to do but comment on this?
