A Concrete Outdoor Drinking Water Fountain

Concrete water fountains are getting increasingly popular for both indoor and outdoor locations. They provide a filtered, clean and cold drink of water for everyone. Drinking water fountains are generally used at pools, schools, campuses, parks, patios, campsites, sports arenas, tennis courts, basketball courts, baseball fields, indoor and outdoor malls, offices, theaters and public gardens.

When looking for a drinking fountain to place in an outdoor public area you should certainly be looking at a concrete outdoor drinking fountain. Quality concrete outdoor drinking fountains offer maximum strength and durability with minimum maintenance. They are vandal resistant and they have attractive earth-tone colors that will blend well with other site amenities such as picnic tables and swing sets. They have the ability to blend beautifully in outdoor environments.

In addition, they are completely lead-free and the internal parts, such as the brass bubblers, are corrosion free. The flow regulators are easy to adjust so that the water stream stays in the bowl. Concrete water fountains are also easily accessible for the handicapped and for children which is why they are great for use in public parks. There is plenty of knee clearance for people in wheelchairs and an easy front push button on the front of the fountain.

The humble office water fountain is giving drinking fountains in general a bad name. It appears the office water fountain is the number one gathering spot for staff to slack off, swap stories about their weekend and to gossip about their co workers.

You know how it all works, you go to fill up your water bottle of cup and you spot Kerry from Accounts walking towards the fountain, oh no, you think, I can’t handle another conversation about her dogs and how wonderful they are right now.

But before you can make a break for it she’s bailed you up as she slowly reaches to fill up her dog shaped cup. She’s telling you about Schnookie and Pookie and how they won a prize at the dog fair on the weekend, she then moves on to tell you about a strange dream she had the other night about how they became the first dogs to win first place in two consecutive years…you slowly start to drift in and out of consiousness.

It’s possible to avoid situations like this at work, you could always ask Kerry to wear a bell around her neck so you can hear her coming, however that idea might not go down so well amongst your co workers so the best advice would be to always keep your guard whilst at the water fountain.  This can be tricky as you don’t want to get water everywhere while you’re filling up and you also don’t want to be looking over your shoulder all the time to see who’s coming. The best thing to do is to listen, listen carefully for footsteps and as they get closer start finishing up on your refill and make a break for it before it’s too late!

DrinkingWaterFountains.co.uk understands the importance of having high quality water fountains available for people in any environment to access,  and is pleased to announce the three outdoor drinking fountains that are stocked by the company.

The first cab off the rank is the Steel Slimline outdoor drinking fountain. This sturdy little number is perfect for parks and campgrounds, made from stainless steel it requires connection to a mains water supply and a waste connection is required as well. The strainer is fitted to the inlet to stop debris blocking up the bubbler cartridge.

Next up is the Classic Steelgrade stainless steel fountain which is a pedestal mounted drinking fountain, secured to the floor with a mounting ring. It has a projector and remote push button as standard and will also require connection to a mains water supply and waste connection. It too has the strainer fitted to the inlet to stop debris blocking up the bubbler cartridge. This type of fountain is perfect for areas where children need to access the fountain as the button is located lower and therefore they will be able to access the water more easily.

Then we have the Concrete Outdoor fountain, perfect for those outdoor conditions that require a robust water fountain such as public areas. Manufactured in Fibrotrace® a GRP type material that is both corrosion and weather resistantthis fountain is sure to withstand all the elements that the weather (and young children) can throw at it. It also comes with projector and remote push button as standard and requires connection to a mains water supply and waste connection. Once again the strainer fitted to the inlet to stop debris blocking up the bubbler cartridge.

If you work in a school, office or public premise you should and most probably do, have access to clean drinking water at all times. Most of the time your water supply will just be from your kitchen taps though which can be a pain as it’s not always the right temperature and probably still has small amounts of chlorie and other nasties that haven’t been filtered out.

This is why you should ensure your place of work installs drinking fountains. Drinking fountains can provide all workers with clean, cool,  purified drinking water at the touch of a button. If you don’t already have drinking fountains, you should find out from your place of work who is in charge of ordering such items.

The Children’s Food Campaign (CFC) are urging local authorities to provide adequate drinking water in all UK parks to ensure children have access to free drinking water. They argue that due to the lack of outdoor drinking fountains in parks, “children often have to go thirsty or visit ice cream vans, shops or take-aways where there may be few healthy options available and lots of tempting but unhealthy drinks and snacks on offer”.

But a spokeswoman for the Local Government Association, which represents more than 350 councils in England and Wales, rejected the CFC’s concerns saying water fountains are provided in many places and decisions have to be made about how they will be maintained, whether they offer value for money and whether they will be safe from vandalism.

However the CFC is adamant that placing more drinking water fountains in public areas and parks will see a decrease in childhood obesity and even tooth decay as children will have access to water and won’t have to resort to buying fizz drinks.

DrinkingWaterFountains.co.uk has been saying this for years, so we are of course advocating the views of the CFC and would highly encourage all local authorities to look into installing more outdoor drinking water fountains into parks and public areas to provide free drinking water for everyone.

The education system in the United Kingdom has never been something to gloat about, perhaps the universities yes, but primary school education has taken a rather large nosedive in the last couple of years in all areas but mainly in the infrastructure. Classrooms are over crowded, there’s not enough room for children to play outside and the facilities are atrotious.

One thing that is clear, is that primary schools need to ensure they have modern, clean and useable school drinking fountains. If children do not have access to clean drinking water at all times, there is a serious lack of duty of care that lies with the school and its decision makers. Children need up to eight glasses of water a day to keep hydrated and alert. This is especially important for their schooling years as they are still developing and learning.

It is vital schools install an adequate amount of drinking water fountains on the school grounds so that every child has easy access to drinking water throughout the day. Children should also be educated on the health benefits of water and be encouraged to drink from the water fountain instead of buying softdrinks and other sugary drinks.

If you think your school needs to upgrade their drinking water fountains, feel free to contact us on 0845 500 4455 and we will be more than happy to provide a free site survery to assess your options.

People all over the world are realising the health benefits of drinking water fountains, not only for their worklife but also their home life. Water coolers are installed in housed all across the United Kingdom every day and now we are seeing an increase in the amount of outdoor drinking fountains being installed in parks, outdoor sports courts and even in celebrity homes and gardens.

Apparently celebs can’t get enough water when they’re sunning themselves by the pool, some have said they have outdoor drinking fountains in their garden areas so the groundsmen can keep themselves hydrated easily enough throughout the day. What a kind bunch they are!

It makes perfect sense to have an outdoor drinking water  fountain in the pool area, everyone should jump on that band wagon. Imagine how dehydrated you get while you’re outside in the sun for all that time. Just because you’re swimming in water doesn’t mean you’re going to be adequately hydrated. If you install an outdoor drinking water fountain for your pool area you can certain you will always be hydrated and it will also reduce the risk of getting heatstoke.

If you have a lot of groundsmen working on your estate or garden area, it’s also well worth the money to invest in an outdoor drinking water fountain for that area as well as it will increase productivity as well as hydration levels in your staff. So take a leaf out of the celebs book and install one today!

If you are in charge of renting or purchasing a drinking water fountain you will know there are lots of things to consider first. The top priority is establishing the environment in which the fountain will be used. If it will be used in a school there are different requirements that need to be met as opposed to say, if the fountain was going to be used in an outdoor play area or an office environment.

School drinking fountains need to be a suitable height for the children to reach, they also need have an easy access button for them to push to get the water out of the fountain. The fountain would also need to be a robust make as it will no doubt get a beating from all those kids.

If you were looking for an office water fountain you would probably go for a taller model with an element of sophistication about it, especially if it’s the water fountain you want in your reception area.

Then if you were looking for an outdoor drinking water fountain you could probably go for a concrete model, something that could withstand the elements of the outdoors. It would need to be robust as well and probably of a height that would be easy for children to reach as well as adults. Whatever your situation DrinkingWaterFountains.co.uk has got the right water fountain for you.
