    LMABF8 had the coldest water. I’m all for the EZH20 because I carry a bottle around with me and it’s less likely to spread germs and causes less waste, but I feel like the water coming out of them is barely chilled. I like my water to be so cold it is borderline painful when I am drinking it.

    Nothing hit as hard as coming out of gym class in high school and getting some fresh gulps of ice cold water from the LMABF8. Peak refreshment.

    I actually hate the EZH2O. When you go to drink it activates the bottle stream in the back and reduces the water pressure so you have to go down further to drink. Well when you do that the bottle stream turns off and the water pressure goes back to normal and you get blasted in the face full force. Reminds me of my college days.

      I think we had the third, but I pretty distinctly remember there being a large metal “kachunk” bar like the ones they put on swinging fire doors. Maybe it wasn’t this brand.

    a class a few years ahead of me got one of the ezh2os as their senior gift. probably the most used senior gift I’ve ever seen, we were a small school and everyone used it every day. I think it hit 500,000 uses by the time I graduated a few years later

    We had something like the first one when I was in high school. When I was a freshmen, I saw another student drop his pants, hop up on top of it, lower into the spout so it went ALL the way up his ass, reached around and turned the water on for a second, then lifted off and shot a wave of shit-water all over the basin/wall behind it, then hopped down and ran off giggling.

    Yeah…

    Haven’t used a water fountain since.

        I also don’t, simply because my high school had a string of vandalism where some kid was pulling all of the water fountains out of the walls. Like he was just ripping them straight out. There’s no way they could support someone putting their entire body weight on it to shove the spout up their ass.

          Your school’s infrastructure was apparently even shittier than mine. In any case, he was a skinny little high schooler - that thing could have been screwed into drywall and still supported his weight.

          …and if you don’t think a water fountain spout could fit up someone’s ass, I’ve got some foreign object removal stories from working in the OR that… well, you probably also wouldn’t believe, but you’d be amazed what an anal sphincter can accommodate.

          Anyone remember that “devious licks” trend?

    I’ll never forget the day in elementary school where I saw a kid casually put his mouth directly on the spout. Then it dawned on me: “There are probably others like him.”

    I work in the industry and I have no idea why anyone would use anything other than the EZH2O for indoors. The other ones aren’t even any cheaper.

      I do MEP design for commercial buildings in the US. If a job ever shows “EWC”, I don’t ask for specs, I assume the EZH2O until either the job goes out with that spec, or the client directly refuses to use that model.

      Anything less, is uncivilized.

      and at least on the EZH2O you can see the quality of the filter that hasn’t been replaced since twas installed

    Unless you are stuck in an all-day meeting with hundreds of stressed out, immunocompromised, most likely sick people all wanting to drink from the EZH2O/EZS8L pair next to the closet bathroom and there is a pair of VRCHDTL8SC down the hall and you are going on a two week Christmas vacation at the end of the meeting.

    Then the VRCHDTL8SC is the boss.

    it’s funny that I’ve seen all of these in real life, though I rarely ever used them due to the obvious hygiene issues

        Hell yeah, I’m a goddamned fortress by now. I shrug off everything but a multi pronged attack, no matter how sustained. Pretty much have to be badly under slept, kept in tight quarters, and exposed to something virulent.

        My immune system is like an advanced alien race just crashing through whole galaxies and annihilating weaker species. As it should be.

    Kind of interesting that these have been a thing in Europe. It’s all just regular taps and the few ones I have seen weren’t very popular.

      I think it’s probably because people in North America generally really like cold water. Virtually every restaraunt will serve all their drinks with ice cubes. I personally find ice-cold water be rather unpleasant, maybe except when it’s 30°C outside. These water fountains will refrigerate the water before it’s despensed and they have a solenoid to control the water flow, meaning it takes very little force to activate.
