Can either one of them survive being outdoors in a city park without totally rusting out underneath?

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No? They're indoor drinking fountains...

Said not our Rotary Club.

I don't know exactly what model water fountains they installed out there, but they look like the one on the left, totally rusted out now.

Probably not supposed to be installed outdoors, but they did.. 🤷

Outdoor ones typically get made of material that doesn't rust. But if it's going to be inside they might as well make them out of nicer materials.

I'm pretty sure that most outdoor water fountains I've ever seen are actually made of concrete.

If I remember later today, I might take a photo of the pair of water fountains at our park. The top stainless steel side looks perfectly fine, but the metal panel underneath both of them is totally rusted out. I'm pretty sure they disabled/disconnected both of them.

Not sure where I might post the photo though, guess I might post under Nowhere Else To Post.. 🤷

And how well do they deal with constantly being pissed on by drunk people?

Username checks out.

There's more chance of someone pissing on them than them going rusty.

Generally true, but the ones out at our city park have totally rusted out underneath. Nobody's been pissing on them, they're just exposed to the weather.
