Why should I have drinking fountains in my school?

In 2014, a law was approved so that all educational institutions, both public and private, have drinking fountains and thus reduce childhood obesity and improve the health of our children.

At Carbotecnia we are a company committed to society, to the country and of course to our children, we want to help you make the best decision and clear all your doubts.

As part of the reform to articles 7, 11 and 19 of the General Law of the Educational Physical Infrastructure, on drinking fountains in schools, it was established that all educational institutions from kindergarten to secondary school must have sufficient drinking fountains and potable water supply.

If what you are looking for is to install drinkers in your school and comply with the INIFED requirements, your supplier must offer you at least the following characteristics in their drinkers:

• It appears on the INIFED provider list.
• 304 stainless steel drinker.
• Purifier that complies with NOM-244 and is approved by COFEPRIS.
• Have at least one mouthpiece for people in a wheelchair.
• That it has at least one key to fill bottles.
• Sizes according to the average heights of children, whether for kindergarten, primary or secondary.
• The corners should not have sharp edges.

It is important that you take the installation into account when buying your drinker. Companies can offer you different options:

• They do the installation for you.
• You have to do it.
• They do the installation for you at an extra cost.
• They do the installation for you if they are in the same city.

Recommendation: If you have to do the installation, check that it is easy to install equipment and that it has instructions or manuals.

The number of drinkers (It is measured by nozzles) must be equivalent to the number of groups that the school has. We leave this table for you to get your accounts.
