Abstract
A polymeric insert is arranged for securement within a base portion of a water cooler housing to accommodate drainage from a water cooler top wall. Drainage and condensation is accommodated to minimize corrosion of a lower portion of the water cooler housing. A modification of the structure includes a fungicide and herbicide distribution reservoir and an alarm indicating stoppage of the associated drain structure of the organization.
