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.

Not by default. These outdoor models don’t use electricity, so they don’t chill or filter water, but some include inline strainers. Ask us about upgrade options if you need filtration.
