Drinking Fountains: Accessible Free Standing Metal Water Fountains Supply with Customized Style

Sourcing reliable hydration solutions shouldn’t be a war between long lead times, poor build quality, and thin profit margins. Whether you are a distributor, facility procurement officer, or plumbing contractor, partnering with an unreliable commercial drinking fountains supplier can lead to missed project deadlines, poor-quality fountains, costly warranty claims, lost clients, and a bad market reputation.

Sounds scary? This is exactly why you should source high-quality drinking fountains from Hannah Iron. We eliminate all supply chain hassle by manufacturing high-quality, heavy-duty, and durable drinking fountains with on-time worldwide delivery. Besides, our customization options give you an edge over others in terms of unit production with the latest trends.

Our Standard Drinking Fountain Style: Floor-standing

Our standard drinking fountains are manufactured in floor-standing or leg-standing style with 4 legs below the basin at 4 corners. This is the most efficient and multifunctional outdoor drinking fountain style, which you can use to drink water directly, fill up bottles, and wash hands if necessary.

They have global demand for its easy to install features in the designated spot. The best feature of this style is that it can be mounted permanently to a spot and also used as a portable drinking fountain.

So, schools, picnic spots, personal gardens, gazebos, corporate offices – this style has a huge demand worldwide for its user efficiency and hassle-free installation process. They are commonly made with rust-resistant materials like stainless steel, lead-free copper faucets, and PVC plastic pipelines.

However, we also offer certain customization for this style, such as materials, dimensions (height, width, length), and number of faucets. You can order our short drinking fountains according to child height.

Our Customized Drinking Fountain Styles: Free standing, Floor Mounted and Others

At Hannah Iron, we support a certain degree of customization in design or style. Here are some popular ones you may be looking for:

• Free Standing or Floor Mounted

This style is very popular in urban parks, plazas, and commercial walkways. They’re built with no separate legs to stand. They are mounted to the concrete floor or outdoor slab floors permanently.

This style is designed in a way that no internal water pipelines can be visible from outside. They give a clean and seamless vibe while providing maximum resistance against physical impact, strong weather, rust, and heavy foot traffic.

• Wall Mounted

We also offer modern water fountain options like wall-mounted ones after customization discussion. These specific styles are designed to save floor space by attaching them directly to the walls.

Some of the most common use locations are healthcare facilities, commercial lobbies, and educational institutions. With features like easy ground clearance and a modern look, they are getting popular.

• Water Bottle Filling Station

To offer a long-term hydration solution for individuals, we custom-make integrated bottle filling stations along with the regular basin-style fountain. Also, we can manufacture only bottle-filling drinking fountains with a specific custom order.

• Special Orders Like Cat Drinking Fountains

Pet drinking fountains are in high demand at this time. Cat and dog owners want a hassle-free hydration source for their pets that they can learn to operate themselves and drink their own water.

If you are thinking of supplying that specific rapidly growing market volume, contact us with your requirements. We manufacture them if the complexity is within our customization limit

• Color Choice

Hannah doesn’t only customize the structures, but also material finish and color. Whether you need a textured grey finish or a smooth green color, we can accommodate all your needs with our customization features.

Material Options for Outdoor Drinking Fountains

We ensure long-term performance and prioritize meeting the specific architectural aesthetic for each location. This is why our manufacturing service comes with customizable material choices for our drinking water fountains.

Your Customizable Material Options for Drinking Fountain Basin and Base:

1. Stainless Steel

Metal equipment solely manufactured to provide people with comfort as a water cooler must be rust-resistant. Its body gets wet very frequently while drinking water or filling water bottles.

A stainless steel body gives it a premium look while protecting it from corrosion under constant moisture. This material is highly recommended for drinking fountains in coastal areas.

2. Cast Iron

If you are looking for heavy-duty, vandal-resistant drinking fountains for high-traffic public places, cast iron is the most suitable material choice. Besides, these are perfect for rugged park settings for its high durability feature. 

3. Galvanized Steel

Wanna ensure cost-effectiveness in large-scale projects of drinking fountains to access non-refrigerated cold water? And still sourcing a high-quality, rust-resistant solution? This metal can be your choice. For its high mechanical durability, you can install it in high-impact or industrial areas.

4. Weathering Steel

These are also known as Corten. They provide high structural resilience against the outdoor environment. Over time, these fountains create a rustic reddish hue all over the steel, which suits specific aesthetic locations. 

5. PVC Plastic

It’s naturally a non-corrosive material that is very reliable to use on drinking fountains. Though we don’t use it on the main body, as it lacks extreme structural strength like other mentioned metals. We primarily use it for heavy-duty internal plumbing systems and pipe connections.

Your Customizable Material Options for Drinking Fountain Faucets:

1. Lead-free copper

Faucets are one of the most important parts of drinking fountains and water coolers. To match our most common stainless steel fountain basin and base, we mainly use lead-free copper faucets. This is to ensure a matching silver finish on the faucet with other structural parts of the drinking fountain.

2. Red Copper

We have red copper as a customized material option for the faucet. You can order it with the fountain body of any material. This looks great with a weathered steel body, and both their color complement each other. The reddish faucet goes perfectly with the rustic patina of the fountain.

3. Brass

Brass faucets scream ‘Vintage and royal’ at the same time. If you want your fountain body to be brass, our main lead-free copper will not go with it visually. The most luxurious combination is to customize your faucet with brass itself. They both will radiate warm golden hues to represent ultimate luxury.

Common Commercial or Public Use Cases and Suitable Material Choice for It

• Public Places, Parks and Municipal Facilities

These are high-traffic outdoor locations with constant environmental exposure and potential vandalism. So a suitable material should have extreme structural endurance, like wrought Iron and galvanized steel. Suitable faucet material can be lead-free copper or brass.

• Picnic Spots and Scenic Landscape Trails

An outdoor recreational location like picnic spots requires clean water supply equipment without filtering needs. Besides, they need to supply cool water outdoors without any refrigeration or chiller.

More to that, the water fountains have to blend in better with the natural landscape. Modern stainless steel ones may look a little out of place. So a suitable material can be weather steel or Corten with a red copper faucet.

• Schools and Other Educational Institutions 

These environments require a lot of drinking fountains, indoor and outdoor, for a lot of energetic young kids. Such locations can be playgrounds, library areas, lobbies, etc.

Easy accessibility with appropriate height control is also required depending on different age categories in these institutions. Material choice can include a stainless steel body with a lead-free copper faucet.

• Commercial Real Estate and Office

Drinking fountains can be a great addition to indoor office lobbies and commercial courtyards. The environment reflects a high-end indoor and outdoor space where premium aesthetics matter. Suitable materials for that can be stainless steel or brass for the body.

In case of faucet material selection, for stainless steel bodies, lead-free copper faucets match well. For brass bodies, brass faucets complement it perfectly, and a full brass combination radiates a warm golden hue which is perfect for a luxury look.

• Warehouse, Industrial or Construction Sites

Places with high-impact operations, like harsh industrial settings, need permanent and portable drinking fountains. These places are subjected to heavy impact, dust, high temperatures, and non refrigerated water lines.

People working in these places need a constant cool water supply to keep them fresh and hydrated throughout hard labor. So drinking fountains can be sources of non-filtered, yet clean and cool water. Suitable materials in this environment can be galvanized steel for the body and lead-free copper or brass for the faucet.
