Let customers speak for us

Are Stern-Williams fountains customizable?

Yes. You can add pet bowls, hose bibbs, bottle fillers, and more. Pick your color, finish, and features. Check the “Add-On Options” sheet in the product images, or just ask us for help.

Can this be installed in freezing climates?

Some models have frost-proof valves or buried freeze-resistant options. Look for "frost-proof" in the product name or ask us, we’ll guide you to the right setup for your climate.

Are these fountains good for parks, schools, or public spaces?

Absolutely. They’re made for heavy use, vandal resistance, and year-round outdoor performance. Perfect for parks, campuses, sports fields, and more.

How do I clean or maintain the fountain?

They’re low-maintenance. Just wipe down the surface with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh cleaners on the stainless steel. We include winterizing tips if you’re in a cold area.

Is it made in the USA?

Yes, 100% handmade in the USA with high-quality materials.

How do drinking fountains or shower towers work?

Drinking fountains connect to a water supply line that runs underground. When you press the button, water flows up through internal piping and out through the bubbler, all powered by water pressure. No electricity or pump is needed. The pipes and valves are protected inside the unit and below the surface, making the system reliable and built to last.

Are these shower towers good for beaches or public areas?

These are made for public, commercial, and institutional use. Cities, schools, parks, trails, and contractors trust Stern-Williams to provide clean water in high-traffic outdoor spaces.

Is it safe to drink from these fountains?

Yes, drinking fountains connect directly to your local treated water supply, which is already safe to drink and often includes an in-line filter for added protection. Many models also feature built-in strainers or optional filters for even more peace of mind. It’s completely safe and healthy to drink from them.

Do you have a fast shipping option?

Yes! We offer a Fast Shipping Program, if you don’t receive your fountain within 10 business days or less, you’ll get 10% off each item in your order, no questions asked.

How can I install this?

Most models need a below-ground water connection and a concrete pad. We recommend using a licensed contractor. Every fountain comes with clear manuals and specs to make the job smooth.

Do these fountains come with a filter or cooling system?

Some models do include internal filters, you can confirm this in the Product Specifications section on each product page, or feel free to call us if you need assistance.

Outdoor models typically do not include cooling systems, since they’re designed to operate without electricity and to withstand tough outdoor environments.

Who are these fountains for?

These are made for public, commercial, and institutional use. Cities, schools, parks, trails, and contractors trust Stern-Williams to provide clean water in high-traffic outdoor spaces.
