A water cooler leak is usually caused by the bottle itself. If there is a pinhole or a crack somewhere in the bottle it will overfill the reservoir of your cooler and leak out the back. To remedy this, simply take the bottle off the dispenser, drain the cooler out through the spigots and put a new bottle on. Mark the bottle that caused the problem and your driver will exchange it for you at no charge. If you try this and the cooler continues to leak please contact our customer service department.
