The Importance of Water Fountains in Schools<\/strong><\/h1>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Accessibility to drinking water has been in the news in recent weeks. La Presse + published, in early October, a report on the dubious quality of water in some Quebec primary schools that contains more lead than the rate recommended by Health Canada<\/a>. TVA Nouvelles reports that only 4% of schools have water fountains in playgrounds<\/a>. Moreover, outdoor water points are often non-existent in newly constructed school yards. Access to water is so easy in our beautiful province and health experts are unanimous in encouraging young people to replace juice and sugar-sweetened beverages with water. It’s great for your health and it’s really good for the environment.<\/p>\r\n

Water Fountains for Schools: A Simple Solution to an Essential Need<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/h1>\r\n

The Mission of Source Om\u00e9ga, a Quebec-Based Company<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n

At Source Om\u00e9ga, a Quebec company based on the North Shore of Montreal, we have made it our mission to provide superior water and service while fully addressing our customers\u2019 environmental concerns, since our water fountains help eliminate the use of disposable plastic bottles.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Among our many drinking water fountain models for schools, here are two of our most popular options:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Model SO-315<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n

Ideal for Schools and Daycares<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/h1>\r\n
\r\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/h1>\r\n

Ideal for schools and daycares, this fountain (SO-315)<\/a> offers excellent value for the money and is ideal for people with reduced mobility. The base model is sold without cooling components and filters, but both options can be added as needed. Made of stainless steel, it resists corrosion and has no metallic after-taste.<\/p>\r\n

The wall-mounted water fountain can also be installed indoors. It can be easily installed by the maintenance staff.<\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/h1>\r\n

Model SO-311<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n

A Durable Choice for Schools and Parks<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/h1>\r\n
\r\n
\"Abreuvoir<\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/h1>\r\n

This water fountain, the SO-311<\/a> , has a pedestal and two cupolas placed at different heights to accommodate children and adults. It is therefore ideal for parks and public places, schools and daycares. Made of stainless steel, it does not corrode and gives no metallic taste to the water. Like the wall-mounted model, the pedestal fountain is available with or without refrigeration components and filters, as needed. It connects directly to the water system of the municipality.<\/p>\r\n
