A google image search shows that the correct translation is water cooler:

Editor: No, the fact that images of "water coolers" predominate in Google Images does *not* show that 飲水機 = water cooler.

Wikipedia article 飲水機 ~
http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%A3%B2%E6%B0%B4%E6%A9%9F
飲水機,又稱純水機,是一個機器裡面裝滿了純淨水、礦泉水或其他飲品,供大家飲用的機器。飲水機還有很多種類型,例如噴嘴式飲水機、按壓式飲水機等。

飲水機的類型
1) ...
2) 噴嘴式飲水機
只要壓下按鈕,水就會像噴泉一樣從口噴出,可以給人飲用上的方便。

"water dispenser" is just another name for "water cooler"
(The corresponding English Wp article says ~ "A water cooler or water dispenser is a device that cools and dispenses water.")

Google Images is skewed to what Google thinks you want to find. It's not a random sampling of images of the search term.

A "bar" can be "length of solid material" or a "small block", but you'd never know that by looking at Google Images @ "bar".
A "dell" is a "small valley" but you won't see any of those at Google Images @ "dell" -- Google will even ignore the fact that you type lowercase "d"
