Now if they can *just* make it squirt out the little bit of settled 'old water' out of the 1/8 inch plastic tube below it _FIRST_ (to eliminate the bacterial buildup that's inevitable as it reaches room temperature .. and... grows... ) - THEN you have a perfect water fountain! [oh and a carbon filter of course 'cause... chlorine is usually difficult to regulate in large water systems]. BUT THAT being said: This is truly awesome, and I hope they *all* get a meter like that. Love it!
