The TRINK drinking fountain has a simple appearance and a simple mechanical design. Water supply and drainage pipes stretch under the surface, which enables a comfortable, hygienic, and space-saving installation. The concrete body and the chromated copper faucet ensure a water-saving mechanism. The high-performance concrete combined with stainless steel components guarantee the durability. The drinking fountain is available in two sizes. The taller option is wheelchair-friendly while the shorter design is easily accessible to children as well.
