BRAND	COSMO	WELLS
CUSTOMIZED TEMPERATURE SETTINGS	✓	✓

Cosmo water dispensers come with hot and cold options. There are 3 temperature ranges to choose from. 

• Coldwater: 5-10 C

• Lukewarm water: 30 – 40 C

• Hot water:89 – 97 C

Similarly, Wells water dispenser has 5 temperature options.

• Red: 85C

• Orange: 70C

• Yellow: 50C

• Green: 25C

• Blue:6C

The only difference is that Cosmo has its temperature in ranges while Well’s temperatures are fixed for each option. 

IN-BUILT UV STERILIZATION

IN-BUILT UV STERILIZATION	✓	X

Unlike other water purifiers, the Cosmo Quantum has a built-in UV light for self-sterilization.

This ensures that all water molecules going through the system are disinfected and free of microorganisms, while the UV LED treats all water molecules passing through the system.

Germicidal ultraviolet wavelength eliminates the presence of microorganisms and bacteria. It also prevents pathogenic microorganisms from reproducing and growing by disrupting their DNA. This feature ensures your drinking water is maximally clean.

While Wells uses other methods of water purification, it does not have a UV light sterilization feature.

TANKLESS PURIFIER INTERIOR

BRAND	COSMO	WELLS
TANKLESS PURIFIER INTERIOR	✓	✓

Both dispensers offer the tankless purifier interior feature. These dispensers do not have a built-in water storage tank. Instead, they are fitted to your kitchen counter and connected to your kitchen’s water supply. This is why they are so portable and light. 

Using cutting-edge technologies, the possibility of microorganism formation is eliminated.

COSMO’s Tankless water purifier uses direct water filtration instead of a water tank to provide filtered drinking water.

This ensures that the water you get is directly from the water source and has not been stored in a tank for days. Plus these dispensers offer extra purification.

FILTER CHANGE INDICATOR

BRAND	COSMO	WELLS
FILTER CHANGE INDICATOR	✓	X

A filter change indicator is used in the Cosmo water dispenser. When it’s time to replace the filter on your dispenser, you’ll be notified quickly. This feature saves you the trouble of having to keep track of when to change the filter. So, you can rest assured that the dispenser will notify you when it’s time for a filter change.

Each filter has a service life of 3000 liters, which lasts approximately 6 –12 months depending on usage. Note that both filters must be replaced at the same time.

Another upside to this is that it takes just 3 seconds to replace the filter in the Cosmo water dispenser. Simply remove the cover, rotate the filter, and replace it with the new one.

Wells water dispenser, on the other hand, does not have an indicator. So, you have to check the filter yourself to see if it’s due to be changed. 

PURIFICATION SYSTEM

BRAND	COSMO	WELLS
PURIFICATION SYSTEM	6 Steps	9 Steps

Cosmo water dispensers have a 6 steps purification process that ensures the water being dispensed is as pure as possible.

Step 1-2: Neo-Sense Filter: (Plus Sediment + Pre-Carbon Filters) Removes particulates, chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and dissolved organic and inorganic impurities.

Step 3: RO Membrane Filter: Removes water contaminants such as heavy metals, harmful organic chemicals, microbes as well as radioactive substances.

Step 4-5: Anti Bacterial Filter: Post Carbon + Fine Filters) Reduces odors and improves the taste of water.

Wells dispensers also have a purification system. They feature a 9 step purification process. The water dispensers come with 2 filters that handle 5 and 4 of the purification process respectively.

The purification process involves:

Step 1: Sediment: Removes solids and residual rust.

Step 2: Carbon Block: Removes residual chlorine, and bad odors to improve water taste.

INFRARED ACTIVATION	X	✓

Unlike other water dispensers that need you to push a button to turn them on, Wells water dispensers are enabled by an infrared motion sensor. When the bottle or cup is within sight, they immediately dispense water without you having to touch them. Cool right?

TRIAL PERIOD

Cosmo offers a 30 days trial period. If within 30 days, you change your mind about the dispenser, they’ll come to your house and pick it up for free, and you’ll get a full refund.
