Dual‑Height Bi‑Level Drinking Fountains for Inclusive & High‑Traffic Spaces
When designing hydration stations for environments that serve diverse users‑—children, adults, wheelchair users, high‑traffic corridors—choosing a dual‑height or “bi‑level” drinking fountain makes a big difference. Our “Split / Bi‑Level Drinking Fountains” collection offers commercial‑grade units configured with two distinct spout heights, ensuring accessibility, compliance and efficiency without the need for separate installations.

Why Choose Bi‑Level & Split‑Level Water Fountain Units?

• Inclusive design built in: Bi‑level drinking fountains feature two drinking spouts at different heights—one for standing users, one lower for children or wheelchair access. This “dual height drinking fountain unit” approach meets inclusive design standards and saves space. 

• Efficiency & cost‑effectiveness: Instead of installing two separate fountains (adult + child), a single bi‑level water fountain meets both needs—reducing installation footprint, plumbing complexity and maintenance overhead.

• Commercial durability for high‑traffic use: These fountain units are often specified for schools, public buildings, recreation centres and outdoor settings. One manufacturer lists bi‑level fountains in categories including “Split / Bi‑Level” for heavy‑use settings.

• Compliance & accessibility: Many units in this collection are ADA compliant or offer accessible mounting heights, ensuring your specification meets legal standards for inclusive use.

• Versatility in application: Whether your environment requires indoor wall‑mount, pedestal, outdoor weather‑resistant or integrated with bottle‑filler options, “bi‑level drinking fountains” offer flexibility. One outdoor unit is described as “pedestal style, floor‑mounted design built for high‑use environments” featuring bi‑level heights. 

Ideal Applications & Use‑Cases

Our split / bi‑level drinking fountains are especially suitable for:

• School hallways, cafeterias and gymnasiums where children, teens and adult staff share facilities.

• University campuses, student unions and recreation centres where users of different abilities and heights need hydration access.

• Public buildings, libraries and community centres where accessibility is imperative and space is constrained.

• Parks, playgrounds and outdoor gathering areas where a single dual‑height pedestal fountain offers efficient installation.

• Office buildings or corporate campuses that want one unit to serve multiple user types with minimal footprints.

Specification & Selection Tips

When selecting a bi‑level or split‑level drinking fountain, consider the following factors:

• Height configuration & mounting type: Ensure the lower spout height meets accessibility needs and the higher height accommodates standard use. Review ADA/ANSI requirements for spout height, clear floor space and spout distance from adjacent surfaces.

• Material & finish: For long life in commercial settings, choose units built with stainless steel, tamper‑resistant fasteners and finishes suited to the environment (indoors, outdoors, high‑moisture). For example, outdoor bi‑level fountains often use heavy‑gauge stainless steel.

• Installation footprint & plumbing: Pedestal models require adequate space and often provide integrated drain systems; wall‑mounted models save floor space but may require backing support and drainage design.

• Usage environment: High‑traffic settings may require more robust materials, vandal‑resistant fixtures and high flow rates. If outdoors, consider weather‑proof models rated for exterior use.

• Integration options: Some bi‑level models include bottle‑filler attachments or sensor activations, increasing versatility and value without adding separate equipment.

• Maintenance & serviceability: Choose models with easily accessible components for filter changes, valve servicing or drain access. Since public use units face heavy wear, ease of maintenance is key.

• Budget & lifecycle: While custom or high‑end finishes cost more, dual‑height units can reduce total number of units installed, which may reduce overall project cost and long‑term maintenance.
