Elkay EZS8L, but it does sometimes take time to get super cold

Can either one of them survive being outdoors in a city park without totally rusting out underneath?
No? They're indoor drinking fountains...

I don't know exactly what model water fountains they installed out there, but they look like the one on the left, totally rusted out now.
Probably not supposed to be installed outdoors, but they did..

New contender enters the arena: LZS8WSLP
The new gym that opened near me doesn't have one of these and I went "Oh come on!"

Those are sorta nice cause just for the water bottle refill, but the water doesn’t taste great and it doesn’t get really cold.
I could also just tilt my bottle at EZS8L
if it doesnt taste good, the filters arent being changed. my job has several of these and water tastes fine

I still maintain it would have had a negligible effect on the quality of work. The boxes wouldn't have been stacked as straight but other than that

You get filters? I'm pretty sure ours is just from the main water supply I don't think it goes to any filtering.

Outdoor ones typically get made of material that doesn't rust. But if it's going to be inside they might as well make them out of nicer materials.
I'm pretty sure that most outdoor water fountains I've ever seen are actually made of concrete.

Complicated looking water fountains. We usually just have a faucet

It's not entirely clear from the image which is which, but apparently the LMABF8 is the one on the right, and the EZS8L is on the left.
Personally I think the EZS8L looks classier than the LMABF8
Also both of them are refrigerated to 50°F. The LMABF8's main two advantages are that it typically has a water filter, and it has mechanical push bars meaning that it will usually work even when the power is out. The EZS8L is usually not filtered and has an electronic push bar.

If I remember later today, I might take a photo of the pair of water fountains at our park. The top stainless steel side looks perfectly fine, but the metal panel underneath both of them is totally rusted out. I'm pretty sure they disabled/disconnected both of them.
Not sure where I might post the photo though, guess I might post under Nowhere Else To Post..

Come to the southwest during summer where taking a shower doesn't involve the hot water tap.

jokes aside this model is the best, the water that comes out of these fuckers is like goddamned glacier melt

it should have a replaceable filter if you take the top off. we do that at my job anyway

I can barely find the words to describe how much I hate this.

In college I had a job that required me to travel all over campus. I decided to grade the various water fountains as I traveled. I had stickers, red, yellow, and green to evaluate the quality, temperature and stream. So as I walked around campus I would place a sticker on every fountain I could find.
In general the model of fountain didn't seem to matter much. It was clear some had been hooked up poorly or just had a poor water supply. But if the fountain was in a newer building or near a gym, then they were good quality.
Long way of saying it's not always the fountain, sometimes it's the infrastructure.

Is this an American thing? I've never seen one of these IRL.
