To directly answer your question. The bottles can be refilled at walmart.

The 'coolers' as people use the term are either room temperature dispensers which can be used tabletop or on a stand.


None of these have filters.

The refrigerated coolers come in two flavors, with a compressor (like a fridge). Or a compressor-less one which cools the water 30 degrees from ambient temp. The latter being cheaper.

All of these products are available from Amazon. All beat a rental/delivery arrangement. The five gallon plastic carboy is also sold in a three gallon size.

Separate from all mentioned above is a Berkey (there is no l) brand or style of filter. These are a two part dispenser/filter. You fill the top with tap water and it slowly fills the lower dispenser half. Similar in concept to a Britta but the filtration makes a Britta seem like a child's toy. Again Amazon.
