Automatic drinking fountains

When it comes to drinking enough water we really don't seem to know what's best for us. Chances are, we are all the same. A lot of start up companies believes it can sort all parties out with a smart water fountain. This new fountain, runs on a sensor. The flow sensor detects the if people are near, each of which represents a fixed amount of water, it can also monitor the flow of water to detect both major leaks and slow leaks, with certain conditions automatically cutting off the water with the shutoff motor.

Very nice?

@rdixon5k Personally, I've always found that sucking out the water from the bristles after brushing and rinsing them out a few times gave me more than enough water to rinse my mouth at (and it keeps my toothbrush relatively clean).

@rdixon5k ?I feel like this is just very likely to create a watery mess.

I thought I was the only person who uses hands to cup water.

  • Reply

@ljacobs5o No, you were. Normal people use a cup.

@ljacobs5o Now I know I wasn't being uncouth.

@ahenry5p I never saw the point in a cup, do you really need more water than what can fit in your hand?

  • Reply

@ahenry5p See the other comments and count the number of cups used.

  • Reply

@dcox5s Yes. I take water from the cup three times or so, and sometimes drink the rest

I guess I'm the only one who sticks their head under the tap/faucet and drinks the water straight up?

@rross5v Or you know, cup your hand and bring the water to your mouth. Easy peasie.

@rross5v Not the only one.

@jarnold5x I could, but I usually lose about 75% of the water that way

  • Reply

@jarnold5x ?I'm lazy and find sticking my head under much easier xD

Cup your cup and place your fingers under the flow of water. Let the water pool in the palm of your hand and drink.

@sgonzalez61 Yes. And you dry your hand off on the back of your wife's shirt, passing it off as a good-morning pat.

  • Reply

@sgonzalez61 Or, be a bit more dignified and use a cup to rinse.

@cpalmer63 You have my pity; must be a sad, empty life.

I'm wondering if this will work in sinks with a Faucet aerator installed.

  • Reply

@cmedina65 Is the only benefit of aerated water no splashing? Because It's horrible to drink from the hand cup.

water consumption is reduced also...

@frichards67 What I see: A scrub and rinse that replaces your bidet and toilet paper.

@frichards67 It's a bubbler...

Despite the haters, I think this is pretty clever.?

  • Reply

@pmarshall6a One of those things where you wonder why nobody else ever thought of it before.

  • Reply

@pmarshall6a uhmmmm a lot of people have taught about this already

  • Reply

@jrodriguez6c yes, not so original for a concept

  • Reply

@lrogers6d This is Not the first design along this idea.

  • Reply

@efoster6e This is the first I've seen where it comes out of a hole though

  • Reply

It's clever, but not practical.

  • Reply

@rcox6g yes, because what if it malfunctions?

  • Reply

@rcox6g what is the price of this?

  • Reply

@jmyers6i I bet this is expensive

  • Reply

@abowman6j no one knows for sure

  • Reply

  • Reply

@rdaniels6l Oh man, I saw this on a website a couple of weeks back

  • Reply
