A drinking fountain is a device that is used in public areas to provide drinking water free of charge and in an environmentally friendly way. Another outdated term for this water dispenser is also a drinking fountain. The way it works is very simple: The drinking fountain is connected to a water source, which is usually a public water connection or network connection of the operator. As with indoor water dispensers, drinking water fountains do not have a cooling mechanism that cools the water down. These systems also do not filter the water through, for example, activated carbon filters, as is usually the case with indoor water dispensers. Drinking water wells work without electricity and are very environmentally friendly. They are usually very hygienic because the water comes directly from the main water pipe and is not temporarily stored in containers (gallons or bottles). This reduces the likelihood of, for example, bisphenol in drinking water — which has been shown to be carcinogenic and contained in plastic bottles. A public drinking fountain has many benefits, both for the environment and for health. By using the system, you can avoid buying plastic bottles and thus actively contribute to reducing waste and a healthier lifestyle. Overall, a drinking fountain is a practical and hygienic way to provide access to fresh and clean drinking water at any time. Thanks to its simple operation and its many benefits, the drinking fountain is a good investment for any city that values a healthy and environmentally conscious lifestyle.
