Drinking Fountain Faucets

Quench Your Thirst With the Nifty Water Fountain Tap by Neils van Hoof

— May 16, 2011 — Art & Design
Wash your hands and have a sip of water at the same time with the Water Fountain Tap by Neils van Hoof.

This smart and clever design integrates a sink's faucet with a fountain spout, making it super-easy to take a swig of water. Industrial designer Niels van Hoof suggests connecting the spout directly to the cold-water source so that you always quench your thirst with cold, refreshing water. To work the drinking fountain, you just simply push the handle downwards; to use the faucet as a normal tap, you just pull it back and turn it left or right.

The Water Fountain Tap will save you from having to buy bottled water. Since tap water is good for you anyway, go ahead and take a sip out of this nifty faucet.
Trend Themes
1. Hybrid Faucet Design - Innovative faucets that combine multiple functionalities, such as sink faucets with built-in drinking fountains, create convenience and efficiency in water consumption.
2. Integrated Cold-water Source - Connecting drinking fountain faucets directly to the cold-water source not only provides convenient access to refreshing water but also eliminates the need for buying bottled water, promoting sustainability.
3. User-friendly Tap Controls - Effortless handling and intuitive controls on drinking fountain faucets, such as push-down handles for fountains and pull-back, left or right turning mechanisms for regular faucet use, enhance user experience and ease of use.
Industry Implications
1. Home Improvement - The home improvement industry can explore innovative faucet designs that combine various functionalities like drinking fountains, offering unique and practical solutions for consumers.
2. Water Bottling and Distribution - The water bottling and distribution industry can adapt to the rise of drinking fountain faucets by diversifying their offerings to include eco-friendly and sustainable options, such as refillable bottles and filtered water stations.
3. Hospitality and Commercial Facilities - The hospitality and commercial facilities industries can incorporate drinking fountain faucets into their establishments to provide easy access to drinking water for guests and employees while saving costs on bottled water purchases.
