Drinking Fountains
Drinking Fountains and bottle fillers
A drinking fountain, also called a water fountain or bubbler, is a fountain designed to provide drinking water. It consists of a basin with either continuously running water or a tap. The drinking fountains bend down to the stream of water and swallows water directly from the stream. Modern indoor drinking fountains may incorporate filters to remove impurities from the water and chillers to reduce its temperature. Water fountains or drinking fountains are usually found in public places, like schools, rest areas, libraries, and grocery stores. Many jurisdictions require water fountains to be wheelchair accessible (by sticking out horizontally from the wall), and to include an additional unit of a lower height for children and short adults. The drinking fountain design that this replaced often had one spout atop a refrigeration unit.
New Drinking Fountains units have bottle fillers on top of them to prevent unrecycled plastic water bottles in landfills
Drinking fountains or Water Coolers
Drinking Fountains on wall mounted are connected to the building's water supply for a continuous supply of water and electricity to run a refrigeration unit to cool the incoming water, and to the building's waste disposal system to dispose of unused water.In the standard wall-mounted cooler, also commonly referred to as a water fountain or drinking fountain, a small tank in the machine holds chilled water so the user does not have to wait for chilled water. Water is delivered by turning or pressing a button on a spring-loaded valve located on the top of the unit, that turns off the water when released. Some devices also offer a large button on the front or side. Water is delivered in a stream that arches up allowing the user to drink directly from the top of the stream of water. These devices usually dispense water directly from the municipal water supply, without treatment or filtering.
Free Standing Drinking Fountains
A free-standing Drinking Fountain or water cooler design generally involves bottles of water placed spout-down into the dispensing machine.
Table top or kitchen drinking fountains worktop versions are available which utilize readily available five liter water bottles from supermarkets. These drinking fountain coolers use air pumps to push the water into the cooling chamber and Peltier devices to chill the water.
A new development within the water cooler market is the advent of counter top appliances which are connected to the mains and provide an instant supply of not only chilled water but also boiling hot and hot water.
