not fresh….

And what happens when you have a 80-100 psi (standand) water mains? It doubles as a shower! Anyone seen the rinse toothbrush?

it looks cool, but what about the water amount that just flows out, i’d say, rather use ur cup to gargle…

The problem here is that when you turn on a water fountain, the amount of pressure is determined by the force with which you press the button. With this however, the pressure is controlled by the stick and the button only switches between top or bottom, analogous to a shower or the attachment on the kitchen sink. There is little I can see to solve this problem.

Also what of children brushing their teeth or an adult shaving his face? With an open hole in the top, one invites particulates into the faucet making it hard to clean and easier to get clogged.

Good idea, bad execution. The faucet attachments for children that have a hinged bottom and a spout do are as useful as this.

I would forget about the button, and just have it cascade, but it requires a special and expensive filter to align the water like that— this thing would cost well over a grand– and I would go with a rounder , softer sink fixture. Love the design .

youve got the good basic idea of having it used as almost a drinking fountain. When I take my allergy meds in the morning i put my head un der the faucet, and yes its annoying….but I do have a feeling you need a water pressure control for the fountain itself apart from the regular faucet.

actually if you guys have noticed.. in the olden days where the tap is just a horizontal pipe with a twist valve attached at the top. that gave the same effect as a fountain anyway. you could use it as an instant shower if you like.

besides, i find the dual design redundant. why not just use the fountain part? since the water is going to flow down (hello gravity) anyway. it’s going to cut costs and maintenance. hey, how about making a twistable tap head like those auto hand/hair dryers? oh wait, thats already available in the markets.

Thank god we’ve designed our way out of that ever strenuous neck tilt to drink/gargle from the faucet.

It has a button that adjusts the water flow… Front, right side. This should keep you from taking that shower.

nice try but a cup does the job just fine. this is over complexity.

Good job!!

Yeah… all of the bad stuff above…plus it’s ugly.

What about hot and cold?

I love the fell of the water flow! So silky and smooth! But the square shape of the fountain is very brutal… it hurts so bad the concept.
You have a great product here. I can see it in my WC. But I will have to remodel everything on my WC to be squared as well.
I can see it better on public places like Food Market Stores and so on.
I agree with sianz… is there any other need than to wash the hands to have the two ways design?
I like the upward way much better… I found myself frustrated so many times trying to fit a cup which is longer than the neck. Always having to tilt the cup down or having it half full. This would solve many design like problems.
Don’t forget the plumbs!

I love designing Taps. I’m an architecture student and when I was in 2nd year we had to design a kitchen from top to bottom, including fittings, lights, cutlery, crockery, materials, pretty much everything you would see or use in the kitchen had to be designed for this project. Since that project I have designed countless taps/faucets and to this day I am somehow fasinated by there mechanics and simplicity.
I adore your idea, I’d love to see detail drawings of how it fits together and operates.

Keep it up!

So someone is washing their hands at high speed the I come in and press the change button.
Water smashes him in the face and I laugh…

My Morning routine: head to the sink, open the tap, water pours down, brush your teeth and move your mouth under the tap, gargle.

Where can I buy it?

the water is wider than one’s mouth ipso facto water on ckeeks and chin, more out than in. in oz, this design would be impossible because of the water wastage. here, the taps are getting thinner and thinner. a square sink is a horror to keep clean. stuff moulders in the corners where not much water moves, and is hard to winkle out with the sponge. very impractical. and don’t we have enough bloody rectangles in the unnatural world?? the water flow IS pretty, though.

I think the faucet is beautiful, and so is the shape of the water flow — whether in “fountain” or “waterfall” mode. But as far as drinking directly from it — my dog might like it — but the stream seems a little wide to conveniently drink from. Plus it’s full on in your face, not sideways like a traditional water fountain. Seems like there’s a potential for chin/nose/face wetness that might not work so well. But I’d have to try it … it’s gorgeous anyway.

It seems to me that this “waterfall” is to luxury for common people. I’m just thinking about the amout of wasting water… For me – it is unexpectable!

I like the fountain design idea, but I agree with the people who think the regular downward tap is redundant.

But I’d imagine people would put chewing gum or other nasty stuff in there if it was placed in a public place like a school.

IT’S A TAP!!! not tab, tap!
