Sink Install or Repair FAQs
You can buy water fountains from most home improvement stores and online retailers. Brands like Grainger and Elkay also sell products directly on their websites. For professional installation, consider contacting a pro first. An experienced plumber can recommend a unit that will work for you and will include costs in the total project quote.
"Another benefit of having a plumber or contractor procure the unit is that they may provide some sort of warranty for their installation, which can be a big help if any problems arise during the installation," says Botelho.
A bubbler is a regional term that describes either a drinking fountain or a faucet. In Wisconsin and Rhode Island, it’s a common substitute for a drinking fountain. In that case, all the above costs apply. A bubbler can also describe the faucet or spout. Faucet installation costs range between $150 and $320.
The valve might be the problem when your product leaks from the spout. You can get a new valve for under $100, but make sure it matches your model number. Internal leaks can be due to a broken drain gasket, cooling tank, or push-in fitting. If your cooler doesn’t work anymore, the thermostat or refrigeration system could be the issue. Beyond replacing simple parts, hiring a pro who can reliably evaluate and fix the problem always makes sense.
Installing your own unit is a complex process that starts with finding the right spot. An indoor product should only attach to a wall that can support it, close enough to an existing drink water supply. It should secure to the wall and seal to the right pipes. DIYing this project can save money on installation costs—but it can also cost you if you make mistakes that you’ll need to correct later on. That's why it’s often best to work with plumbing professionals.
