A "Bubbler" is a type of drinking fountain commonly found in public spaces like parks, schools, and office buildings. It dispenses water through a nozzle, allowing users to drink directly from it. The design often includes a basin to catch excess water, preventing spills and keeping the area clean. The term "Bubbler" is particularly popular in certain regions, such as Wisconsin and New England, where it is used interchangeably with "water fountain." While the basic function remains the same, some modern bubblers may include features like filtered water and touchless operation for improved hygiene.
