A few weeks back, we were swamped with a upsurge of queries from primary schools with regards to our drinking water fountains. The first query was from a schoolhouse in Lincoln who are looking to be able to provide drinking water for all pupils in each schoolroom. The Victorian primary school was waiting to replace old sinks in each schoolroom with a simple wall mounted fountain sink. This simple unit has little proportions and merely has a bubbler for children to drink from. With wall mounted sinks the drinking water comes straight from the mains supply, is filtered through a water filter if necessary and comes out of the bubbler when a plain knob is pressed. The basicshape of wall mounted sink is lacking a chilling unit and hence the water comes out of the bubbler at mains water temperature. The second enquiry was for an outdoor freestanding water fountain for the heart of a childrens leisure area. There are a lot of fountains built in the UK that are suitable for higher usage outward surrounds. We managed to root out three special fountains that suited the remit including one that has been especially prepared for a primary school where the drinking area is at 800mm rather than the 1 metre suited to adults.
