Talk:Water cooler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In my experience in the US, "water cooler" refers specifically to the type of water dispensing device that takes large drums of water (typically delivered by a private company or purchased at an office supply store) and dispenses them via a tap into little disposable cups. This type is normally known as a "water cooler" and never as a "water fountain".
The other sort which is attached to the plumbing system and delivers a stream of water that you drink from directly is known primarily as a water fountain (I believe "bubbler" is used some regions and in the UK). This sort is normally known as a "water fountain" and never as a "water cooler". Pimlottc 17:48, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
