    I don’t understand why you would have a water cooler in the first place.

    just put a fountain in?

    edit: my regionality is showing. I assumed it wasn’t plumbed in.

      It pulled water from the tap instead of a bottle and had a filter, plus it had hot and cold options. It was a nice water cooler, but I wouldn’t have called it a luxury and never thought it could cost $75 a week.

        that costs about $125 if bought new. but the rental company should be cleaning it regularly for that price.

        ah okay, so it was plumbed in. carry on

        around here I’ve only ever referred to “cooler” as something that uses a tank.

        now, even a water dispenser that doesn’t have a fountain is still called a fountain… unless it actually has a chiller and no fountain mouth piece, in which case it’s back to a cooler, sometimes

          So it’s a fountain unless it has a chiller, in which case it’s a fountain? 🤔
