It pulled water from the tap instead of a bottle and had a filter, plus it had hot and cold options. It was a nice water cooler, but I wouldn't have called it a luxury and never thought it could cost $75 a week.

ah okay, so it was plumbed in. carry on

around here I've only ever referred to "cooler" as something that uses a tank.

now, even a water dispenser that doesn't have a fountain is still called a fountain.. unless it actually has a chiller and no fountain mouth piece, in which case it's back to a cooler, sometimes

So it's a fountain unless it has a chiller, in which case it's a fountain? 🤔
