Energy Efficiency

Is your company environmentally friendly? Spectrum provides several cooler models that employ Sleep Mode Technology, a feature that automatically shuts down all non-essential energy-draining functions during periods of nonuse. 

For example, the SWC-85 cooler turns the compressor off on evenings and weekends and for periods of time after the lights are off for 5 minutes. The hot tank thermostat automatically reduces its target temperature by 50 degrees to save additional energy. If the lights in the room are turned on for 5 minutes or longer, or if someone presses any buttons on the machine, the cooler ‘wakes up’ and resumes normal operation.  

Sleep Mode can save up to 65% of the energy of typical filtered or bottled water coolers.   The SWC-85 cooler with Sleep Mode typically operates for only 40-50 hours per week, as compared to other coolers that run for 168 hours per week.
