    Frequently asked questions

    Stainless steel drinking fountains are connected to your water supply and include advanced filtration systems to ensure high water quality. Depending on the machine, users can either drink directly from the valve or place their bottles under the tap and press a button or lever to fill them as a water bottle filling station.

    Yes. From water fountains for offices to water fountains for outside use, they’re perfect for schools, gyms, airports, parks, and more.

    Regular maintenance includes cleaning the surface, sanitising the dispensing area, and ensuring the filtration system is functioning properly. Filters will also need replacement. Professional maintenance services are available for all water fountain stainless steel products.

    Drinking from public fountains is generally safe, although concerns may arise regarding high-touch areas, such as the basin and handles. Similar to other surfaces, viruses can linger on fountain surfaces. Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial. Many fountains and bottle fillers now feature design innovations like push buttons away from dispense points, or hands-free operation to minimise cross-contamination. Products like our OASIS fountains include antimicrobial copper technology on key touchpoints to combat microorganisms, enhancing disease prevention efforts.

    “Drinking fountain”, “drinking water fountain”, and “water fountain” are the most commonly used terms in the UK, but you may find it also being called a “bubbler” in parts of the US and Australia. If you’re thinking of free-standing machines with chilled water, you may be referring to a “water cooler”. Other terms you may hear being used for a drinking fountain are “hydration station” or “water dispenser”, which are often used interchangeably. 

    The main purpose of drinking fountains is providing people with fresh, hygienic, and convenient hydration; whether for use in gyms, offices, school, or any other business settings. 

    Our outdoor drinking fountains do require plumbing for both free-standing and wall-mounted models. But don’t worry, one of our friendly experts will help with all your installation needs to get your fountain up and running. 

    The best water for outdoor drinking fountains is filtered, chilled/ambient water that passerbys can easily access to stay hydrated on the go. Wall-mounted or free-standing water fountains are well-suited for busy outdoor public spaces, providing a constant water supply at the push of a button, making water bottle refilling or grabbing a quick drink easier than ever.

    Hot or boiling water, on the other hand, isn’t quite the right fit for outdoor drinking fountains, as it’s not a common place for people to make hot drinks, and could even be a hazard. Instead, outdoor water drinking fountains are designed to deliver clean, cold, and accessible water to suit the needs of the public. 

    A waterfall is a geographical element where a river flows over the edge of a high cliff or rockface, cascading downwards. A water fountain, in comparison, can refer to two different things. A water fountain can be a drinking fountain that dispenses water at the push of a button and is often found in public spaces. A water fountain can also refer to a decorative water feature that pours water for an aesthetic effect, often found in gardens, courtyards, and city centres. At Culligan, you’ll find a range of drinking water fountains to keep any space in any business sector hydrated.
