Fountains for the Kids
June 12th, 2009A few weeks ago, we heard a tide of questions from primary schools regarding our drinking water fountains. The first inquiry was from a schoolhouse in Lincoln who are looking to be in a position to supply drinking water for all students in each classroom. The Victorian primary school was looking to supplant scruffy sinks in each room with a new wall mounted fountain sink. This simple unit has compact measurements and only has a bubbler for children to drink from. With wall mounted sinks the drinking water comes directly from the mains supply, is filtered through a water filter if necessary and comes out of the bubbler when a plain release is squeezed. The basicshape of wall mounted sink doesn’t have a chilling unit and so the water comes out of the bubbler at mains water temperature. The second inquiry was for an outdoor freestanding water fountain for the heart of a childrens playground. There are numerous fountains made in the UK that are suitable for big usage outdoor conditions. We were able to seek out three special fountains that fitted the remitand also one that has been especially built for a primary school where the drinking water is at 800mm rather than the more standard 1 metre suitable for adults.
