    Water fountain with no water
    :confused:
    We have a water/drinking fountain on the pool deck of our condo association. We recently had the deck pressure washed and ever since then the fountains have not worked. I have checked the breaker, and all the GFI plugs and all is well. I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to get water to come on to them. The pool deck was only built about 2 years ago so the fountains are new so to speak. Please let me know if you have an answer. Thanks

    So this has a cooler built into it, right? Check the outlet for power using a teser. However, lack of power usually does not stop the warm water from flowing in these units so try disconnecting the supply line to see if there is water pressure.

    Yes it does have a cooler built into it, I have used a tester to al the outlets but, this unit is hard wired in the wall. There is pressure to all the other water lines. The odd thing is that both of them stopped at the same time. Both electrical or water going out at once what are the chances? Thank you and maybe you have another idea.

    The ones I have experience with will operate with no power, just won't cool. I guess its possible you have an electrically operated swicth the actuates the water valve. If its hardwired then just open the box in the wall and tset at the wire connections.
